THE CHASE NURSERIES, GENEVA. N. Y. 
A Corner of an Elberta Orchard that Made Its Owner Rich 
Heath Cling— (White Heath Cling)— Origi- 
nated in Maryland, where it is much esteemed. 
Of large size and good flavor. 
Kalamazoo. — A popular market peach in 
Michigan; inferior to Elberta but a heavier 
cropper. Grows to medium size, color yellow 
with red cheelc, freestone, yellow flesh, moder- 
ately tender and juicy, flavor fairly sweet. A 
good cooking fruit. Valued for nearby mar- 
kets, but is smaller than Elberta so that it 
hardly sells with that large showy variety. 
Late September. Origin, Michigan. 
Lemon Free. — A new seedling, originated in 
Ohio; resembles somewhat the Smock Free, but 
it is in every way finer, larger and of better 
quality; a regular and prolific bearer, with 
fruit sometimes measuring 12 inches in cir- 
cumference, and of finest color and flavor. 
Ripens first of October. Freestone. 
Mayflower. — Earliest peach known. Ripens 
one week before Sneed ; color red all over, 
beautiful appearance. Carries well to market, 
not being tender like Sneed. Blooms very late, 
crop never entirely cut off by late frosts, size 
medium, quality good. Tree an upright, good 
grower, a very prolific bearer. Originated in 
Copiah Co., Miss. 
Matthews Beauty. — A fine attractive appear- 
ing yellow peach with beautiful cheek, re- 
sembling Elberta in exterior, but nearly a week 
later and of much finer quality. Flesh is free, 
yellow, firm, sweet and good. This large 
luscious peach is equally good when eaten fresh 
or when used for cooking. Late September and 
early October. 
Mountain Rose. — A favorite in New Jersey 
where it ripens early and grows to large size 
for so early a peach. A reliable cropper. Color 
white with carmine cheek, inside creamy white, 
abounding in rich, sweet juice. Considered 
first quality for dessert. Early August. Ori- 
gin. New .Jersey. 
Niagara. — A very large, yellow peach and a 
very popular one, especially in Niagara County, 
N. Y., where it originated. Bears a very close 
resemblance to Elberta, but is larger and finer 
in every way and ripens one week earlier than 
Elberta. The fruit is lightly flavored and 
luscioiia. Tree is vigorous, healthy, being 
seldom afl'ected with leaf curl, and a productive, 
regular bearer. In many orchards in New 
York State it has borne regular crops of per- 
fect fruit for the past seven years. Season, 
September first. 
Old Mixon Free. — ^A white fleshed peach with 
a red cheek presenting a good appearance in 
the basket. Flesh rather tender for shipping, 
hence not so much planted as formerly. It is 
a delicious peach for eating out of hand, and 
just as good for cooking or canning. Good 
size, free pit. Tree is vigorous, spreading 
and moderately productive. Early September. 
Old Mixon Cling.— Large, pale yellow, with 
red cheek; juicy, rich and high flavored; one 
of the best clingstone peaches. Last of Sep- 
tember. 
Salway. — Fruit large, roundish, deep yellow, 
with a rich marbled, brownish red cheek; flesh 
yellow, firm, juicy, rich and sugary. An Eng- 
lish variety; prized highly as a late, showy 
market sort. 
Stump the World. — A showy, white fleshed 
peach with a bright red cheek. Very large, 
juicy, sweet and good. Tree is average grade 
as to vigor and productiveness. Is freestone 
and ripens near the end of September.
