Steadly.— This peach, of Western origin, comes to us highly recommended as a de- 
sirable and profitable late variety. The fruit is very large, round and of a greenish white 
color; flesh white to the seed, and of a delicious flavor; freestone. October. 
Sweet October. — Large; skin creamy white, with a reddish blush on one side. 
The latest ripening peach of first-class quality known. Flesh white and very firm. One 
of th6 best canning and late shipping peaches grown. 
* Stephen's Rareripe. — The tree is a very vigorous grower, comes into bearing the 
second season after transplanting and yields immense crops. It has proved its ability to 
resist severe cold and fruit freely "off years" when most other varieties yield no fruit. 
The fruit in appearance somewhat resembles an enlarged and remarkably high colored Old 
Mixon Free, far surpassing in beauty any painted picture. In flavor as well as in ap- 
pearance it is superb. It begins to ripen with the last of the Late Crawfords, and continues 
from three to four weeks. Freestone, white fleshed, juicy and high flavored.
