THE BARNES BROS. NURSERY CO., YALESVILLE, CONN. 
GOLD MINE. Originated in Michigan. The tree is hardy and productive". The fruit 
is round or nearly so, having no point or bunch at center. It is a large yellow Peach with 
good rich coloring, resembles Late Crawford and ripens about the same time. This val- 
uable variety is the kind to plant to make money. Plant a few hundred trees and they 
will prove a gold mine for you in a very short time. 
GORDON. The introducer claims for the Gordon that it is the finest late Peach in 
existence. It ripens latter part of September or first of October in this latitude and will 
keep a month. It cannot be beaten as a shipper and could be easily shipped to Europe. 
It seems to be proof against rot; instead of decaying as time passes it will shrivel and 
shrink a little but remain perfectly sound. It is 'of large size, a beautiful yellow color, 
fiesh firm, rich, sweet and delicious. It comes when all other marketable Peaches are 
gone and hence has a clean field and will bring big returns. Planters will not miss it if they 
plant the Gordon. 
GREENSBORO. The very earliest of the early Peaches, preceding Alexander, which has 
always been quoted as a standard of earliness, and is an almost perfect freestone. It is 
beautiful in appearance, being covered with light and dark crimson, shaded with yellow. 
The flesh is white, very juicy and of extra quality. The tree is a good grower. August 1st. 
HIELEY (Early Bell). This seedling of Belle of Georgia, one of the best of all Peaches 
of North China type, the kind that are among our most hardy, is much Hke its parent in 
size, color and beauty, having the same vi^or of tree and hardiness of fruit buds, but ripens 
its fruit nearly a month earher, thus giving us a large, rich, creamy white Peach, with 
rich blush on sunny side, as a season when in former years we had only small semi-cling 
varieties of poor quality. Early Bell is as large as Stump, as beautiful as Old Mixon, of 
fine quality and a good shipper. 
IRON MOUNTAIN. Size large, shape oblong or egg shape, color pure white, sometimes 
having a sUght blush. It is perfect freestone and has as good quality as any white Peach 
ever grown. Season September 20th to October 10th, according to season and soil. 
LARGE EARLY YORK. This is a large white Peach with red cheek, fine grained, very 
juicy, rich and delicious, vigorous and productive. Ripens in August. 
LORENTZ. The introducer says it has never been known to fail a crop in the most 
adverse seasons, and is as near frost-proof as any variety yet introduced. Fruit is large 
and of superior flavor. It is a freestone, yellow-fleshed, and its handsome appearance has 
been a surprise to all who have seen it. The Peaches frequently require thinning from 
over-production. The fruit does not crack, is very firm, keeps well and is a fine shipper. 
MARY'S CHOICE. Large to very large; yellow, blushed with red; free. A very fine 
Peach for either family or market orchard.

A productive variety. 
NIAGARA. Large, yellow, with red cheek, juicy and high flavored, flesh yellow; free- 
stone. Season medium early, following quick upon Early Crawford. This is truly a fine 
Peach, noted for its large size and fine appearance. 
OLD MIXON. This is a fine, large, ex- 
ceedingly productive variety, succeeding well 
in all localities and well deserving of the high 
favor in which it is held as an orchard variety. 
Skin yellowish white with a red cheek, flesh 
white but red at the stone, tender, rich and 
excellent. Sept. 10th. 
PROLIFIC. Fruit large, golden yellow

very hardy and exceedingly productive.
