PEACHES— continued 
Elberta 
Old Mixon— This is a fine, large, exceed- 
ingly productive variety. Skin, white with 
a red cheek; flesh white, tender, rich and ex- 
cellent. 
Fitzgerald — A productive yellow peach ri- 
pening after Early Crawford. A peach of 
fine quality, but its fruit is uneven in size. 
Reeve's Favorite — A very large yellow 
peach of the highest quality — unexcelled as 
a fancy peach — not a heavy bearer. 
Elberta — This is the most profitable, and 
best selling peach of the whole list; from 30 
to 50 per cent, of every commercial orchard 
should be of this variety. There appears to 
be no limit to the demand for the fruit. Com- 
mercial growers have made more money on 
this variety than on all others. 
An exceedingly large, light colored yellow 
peach with red cheek, flesh yellow. A per- 
fect freestone. September 10th to 15th. 
Foster — A fine yellow peach of the Early 
Crawford type, ripening at about same time, 
but superior to that variety in the coloring, 
being brighter. 
Niagara — This is a nice yellow peach of 
the Crawford type, but too shy a bearer to 
be profitable in this section. 
Crosby — A medium sized yellow peach with 
a remarkably small pit. Splendid quality. 
The strongest claims for it is the frost proof 
character of its fruit buds. 
Stump — A large, roundish white peach with 
red cheek. September 10th to 15th. 
Late Stump — A later ripening strain of 
Stump that appeared in our bearing orchard 
and considered by commercial growers one of 
the most profitable of peaches, ripening im- 
mediately after Elberta. The time of ripen- 
ing and heavy bearing qualities combine to 
make it very desirable. 
Crawford's Late — A standard sort, of large 
size, considered by some the best of its sea- 
son, and as a yellow-fleshed peach, unequaled 
in quality. September 15th to 20th. 
Chair's Choice — Much like Late Crawford, 
but a week later in ripening; generally un- 
profitable in this section. 
Globe — A variety of great size and beauty; 
all the fruit uniformly large and of the best 
flavor; yellow, shaded with red. Like all ex- 
tra large peaches, it is a shy bearer and 
would not be profitable as a commercial va- 
riety. Ripens after Crawford's Late. 
Frances — A large yellow peach ripening 
just after Elberta. It is a very handsome 
peach. September 15th to 20th. 
"Of all varieties advertised to follow Elberta in the mar- 
ket, Frances is the best peach grown on the Station 
grounds. Its fruits are practically as large as Elberta and 
even more handsome. It extends the Elberta season a few 
days or a week. On our grounds it appears to be quite as 
good'f or market purposes as Elberta."— New York Agri- 
cultural Exp. Station. 
Fox's Seedling — Medium to large; white 
flesh; skin creamy white, with bright red 
cheek; a very heavy bearer. September 25th 
to October 1st. 
Bray's Rareripe — White with red on sunny 
side; freestone, flesh fine grained. Heavy 
bearer. October 1st to 5th. 
Iron Mountain — Size large, shape oblong or 
egg shape, color pure white, sometimes hav- 
ing a slight blush. Hardy in bud and a re- 
liable bearer. September 20th to October 
10th. 
Emperor — New. Hardy, and a regular 
bearer; ripens with Beer's Smock; very large, 
jelloW-fleshed; skin a beautiful yellow, with 
red cheek; shape similar to Crawford's Late; 
pit small and parts readily from the flesh. 
Smock — Medium to large, light orange yel- 
low, with red cheek; flesh yellow. Rather 
dry. Used for canning. 
Mathew's Beauty — A large yellow peach, 
ripening two weeks or so after Elberta. Shy 
and of poor color with us. 
Steven's Rareripe — Large, white peach 
with red cheek. It is certainly best in qual- 
ity of any peach we have ever seen of its 
season. September 25th to 30th. 
Salway — A large, round, deep yellow peach 
with dull red cheek; flesh firm and rich. Oc- 
tober 1st to 5th. 
Mr. Holmes, my manager, writes me that 
"we had better continue with Barnes Bros. 
Nursery Co. with our future plantings irre- 
spective of any offers from other parties" so 
I presume that settles the matter for 1916, 
also for other plantings we have planned. 
Yours truly,
