have been brought forward of the season and character of the Late Crawford, but none 
that seemed to be superior in all respects except Chair's. It is just like a very large 
Late Crawford, but excels it in size and seems to be less subject to rot. It is also a trifle 
longer in ripening its fruit, which is sometimes very convenient when a large quantity 
requires marketing. The fruit hangs on remarkably well." 
MATTHEW'S BEAUTY. This new and valuable Peach is a cross between Elberta and 
Smock, showing a parentage of both. The 
fruit is large, shaped similar to Elljcrta, but a 
little longer. Skin a beautiful yellow streaked 
with red; flesh yellow, firm and of excellent 
quality. An annual and prolific bearer, with 
shipping qualities unsurpassed. Ripens about 
three weeks after Elberta, which it exceeds 
in quality. 
FOX'S SEEDLING. Medium to large, white 
flesh: skin creamy white, with bright red 
cheek; a very hea\-y bearer. One" of the 
most profitable late white Peacfies grown. 
As popular among late white Peaches as is 
Mountain Rose among medium early. Oct. 
1st. 
It is hard to write a catalogue of our fruits 
of to-day. We say they are all good it seems, 
and we mean every word we say. It must be 
remembered that almost every \-ariety of any 
fruit has some distinctive qualities that stand 
out and make it excellent, and few have them 
all; therefore, to sum up, we can still afford 
to cling pretty closely to the old well-known 
sorts. FOX SEEDLING.
