of ripening of the different varieties.

last of July, the skin is a greenish wiiite. one side covered 
with crimson, of fair quality and considered a good marl<et 
variety to start the season with.

boro, the flesh is yellow and of splendid quality, the skin is 
yellow, covered on the sunny side with light crimson with darker 
crimson stripes. Tree is hardy in bud and should be thinned 
for best results ; should be included in every list.

better color. This variety is especially popular in southern 
New Jersey where it is best known. 
Carman — This is a hardy and reliable bearer of medium to 
large white fruit having beautiful red cheek where exposed to 
the sun. This is a standard commercial variety and should be 
included in every complete list.

ripening at a time when yellow peaches are scarce or about 
with Carman. The earliest good yellow freestone peach.

tains its place on the list. Of Persian type, it possesses the 
high quality of that race. The fruit is large and round, flesh 
white and frees readily from the pit. skin whitish nearly cov- 
ered with dark red, should be included in every home orchard

when canned. Fruit is large, skin creamy white with red cheeks 
where exposed to the sun. The fruit ripens over a longer period 
than many varieties, which is an advantage where only a few 
trees can be planted. The trees are very hardy in bud. This 
variety is planted by most commercial growers.

planted by nearly every grower. In fact it is necessary to com-

being a better yielder has largely superseded that variety. Tree

large size and fair quality ; flesh is white and very free. Skin 
white with red cheeks. 
Old Mixon — This is one of the red standard Persian sorts of 
high quality, that has been displaced among the commercial 
growers by the Belle with which it ripens, but every home 
orchard should contain this variety on account of its quality ; 
white freestone.
