CHASK'S EARLY. 
This new peach which originated in Geneva is steadily gaining in 
popularity as its merits become known. It is of the Mt. Rose type, probably 
a seedling of that variety. Fruit of good size, yellowish-white, splashed with 
pink ; flesh juicy, rich, of highest quality ; freestone ; a good shipper. In 
season before Mt. Rose. The tree has proved to be hardy in wood and fruit 
bud, is a vigorous grower, comes into bearing early and is productive. 
Gilbert B. Pease, of Verona, N. J., Feb. 5, 1900, writes : 
"From fifteen Chase's Early trees planted spring '97, I picked the past season ten 
baskets, which I sold at $1.50 per basket. Certainly a good showing for the second season, 
and especially so after the severe winter of 9S-99.
