Tie TRIUMPH PEACH. 
Three Weeks Earlier than any Other Freestone. 
The Youngest Bearer Known. Two-Year 
Trees have Produced Over 
Half a Bushel of Fruit 
Per Tree. 
Think of a fine, nice yellow peach 
a month earlier than any other good 
peach, and one that can be shipped 
most any distance. Is it not a bonan= 
za for the man who plants it? We have at last that "freestone, as large and 
handsome and early and good in quality as the Alexander, " which the late Chas. 
Downing predicted would be worth a million dollars to the public. 
The Triumph Peach is of large size, with very small pit. Surface yellow, 
nearly covered with red, and dark crimson in th-? sun. Flesh bright yellow. A 
freestone of excellent flavor. It blooms late, thus missing the spring frosts, 
and is a sure and abundant bearer. It is a keeper, specimens having been 
shipped 1000 miles, and then kept in good condition several days. 
Note the way it is talked about by the highest authorities. 
From R. M. Kellog, Ionia, Mich. : "One of the needs of the past has been a 
new, hardy, yellow, freestone peach. The evidence is abundant that the Triumph 
fills the bill in all particulars. Its season is with the Alexander; Much larger, 
of good texture, bright color , yellow flesh. It will prove a market commander t 
a bonanza to growers." 
From Division of Pomology, Washington, D. C. : " Specimens came in first- 
class condition and show good shipping qualities. It is of good size, rich yellow 
color, with a heatitiful crimson cheek, and owing to its earliness it should be 
valuable." 
From J. Van Lindley : "It is well colored, flesh yellow to the seed. It is one 
of the greatest acquisitions and completely takes the place of Alexander." 
From J. H. Hale : " The Triumph ripens with the Alexander and is more than 
half larger than that variety. It is very dark yellow and ripens well to the pit. 
Such a large yellow peach, coming so early, must be a valuable market variety.'* 
From Henry Luttp, Youngstown, N. Y. : "I grow 125 varieties and have few 
as good in flavor as the Triumph. Of the samples sent me some were in perfect 
condition five days after I received them." 
From the North American Ilorttculturist, Monroe, Mich. : "This new peach is 
finding popular favor everywhere, and this season proved to be an early, yellow 
freestone peach of beautiful color and fine flavor. Tree is perfectly hardy and 
will thrive in localities where other sorts fail. It ripens with the Alexander." 
From the Michigan Fruit Chrower and Practical Farmer: " The Triumph Peach 
is bound to become foremost as the first freestone peach on the market. Its earli- 
ness will bring it into market with the Alexander." 
From James Beaty, Vineyard, Ga. : " I saw your new peach (Triumph) about 
the l-5th of June. It was then ripe and soft to the pit. Color deep yellow ; flesh 
yellow ; excellent quality and a freestone." 
From Prof. L. R. Taft, Agricultural College, Lansing, Mich. : "The Triumph 
certainly seems far superior to Alexander. Size, color, texture, flavor, and the 
fact that it is a freestone ax-e all in its favor." 
From T. V. Munson, Te^as : The Triumph Peaches received five days after 
shipment, in splendid condition. Fruit is large— a true yellow-fleshed close 
free-stone, and the best and handsomest extra early peach I have seen."
