THE CHASE PJURSERIES. 
il NEW PEACH. 
Steven's Rareripe. — This valuable Peach was called to our attention hy a letter 
■written by the venerable Chas. Downing, in which he spoke of it in the very highest 
terms, as a profitable market variety, giving also some figures of the enormous profits 
some of the farmers in his vicinity had realized from its cultivation. 
The tree is a very vigorous grower, comes into bearing the second season after trans, 
planting 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 
appearance 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. 
THE EARLY ORANGE PRUNE. 
The Early Orange Prune is a chance seedling that originated in Orange County, N. Y. 
It first drew attention by its wonderful rapidity of growth and great productiveness. 
When only three years old from pit it fruited, and from that date (1867), to the present, 
the original tree has not failed to yield a fair crop every year, and generally a heavy 
crop. It is' a uniform, heavy bearer. 
The fruit is about two inches in length, somewhat flattened on the sides: is of a 
greenish color, changing when ripe to a rich golden yellow, with a showy blush on the 
sunny side. The pit is somewhat flattened and loose within the fruit; that is, it is 
smaller than the cavity in which it rests. The fruit thus far has been free from the 
attacks of all insects. 
STUMP APPLE, 
This most valuable summer and early autumn apple originated near Rochester, N. Y. 
lu vigour, early bearing and productiveness, it equals the Duchess of Oldenburg. The 
fruit is of full medium size, a little oblong, striped with red, of most attractive appear- 
ance and excellent quality ; flesh fine grained, crisp, juicy, pleasant sub acid.
