GENERAL LIST OF PEACHES 
Arranged as nearly as possible in order o£ ripening. Differences in seasons, soil, 
location, culture, and age of trees, all have their influence on the time of ripening of the 
different varieties. 
GREENSBORO. A hardy, early, peach ripening the latter part of July. It is beautiful 
in appearance- a large white peach, one side covered with light and dark crimson, and 
freestone when fully ripe. We regard this variety as a valuable market variety to start the 
season with. , . ^ i 
"Its large size, attractive appearance, and reliability m bearing combine to make it 
one of the best of its season." — Ohio Ex. Sta. Bull. 170. j u j j -..v. 
"Largest of all early peaches, beautifully colored with light and dark red, shaded witn 
yellow, which makes it a great beauty." — /. Van Lindley Nursery Co. 
WADDELL. Fruit medium to large, oblong; color, creamy white, with bright blush 
on sunny side, often covering two-thirds of the peach ; freestone, and a good bearer and 
shipper, ripening two weeks before Mt. Rose. , , . . „ 
"An excellent medium early variety for home and market, stands shippmg well, 
even long distances." — Ohio Ex. Station. 
CARMAN. This variety is almost as large as 
Elberta, of nearly same shape; white with beau- 
tiful red cheek, one of the most hardy and reliable 
bearers. The market has never yet been fully 
supplied with fruit of this variety, and we recom- 
mend it for commercial planting. One week be- 
fore Mountain Rose. 
"Quality extra good, well worth planting. 
— H. E. Van Demon. 
"In many respects the most profitable and i 
valuable peach in America." — /. H. Hale. 
HIELEY. 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 
white, nearly covered in red, is of good size and 
quality, and a perfect freestone. We recom- ' 
mend it for commercial planting; ripens just 
before Mountain Rose. 
"Take my word for it, don't miss planting 
Hieley, it is a money maker, sure." — /. H. Hale. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA 
MOUNTAIN ROSE. A variety of very great value; fruit large, roundish; skin whitish, 
nearly covered with light and dark rich red; juicy, sweet, and extra fine quality; perfect 
freestone. One of the standard commercial varieties. August 25th to September 1st. 
CHAMPION. Fruit large, of beautiful appearance, flavor delicious, rich, sweet, juicy ; 
skin creamy white, with red cheeks. A good shipper, beginning to ripen with the last of 
the Mountain Rose. The peculiarity of this handsome peach is the hardiness of its truit 
buds. Is largely planted by commercial growers. September 1st to .5th. 
CRAWFORD'S EARLY. The true Crawford's Early, of which we have a large guaranteed 
stock is a most valuable market peach. It is a magnificent, yellow-fleshed fruit, of large 
size and highly colored. This variety was almost extinct, but it has been revived better 
than ever. Many growers have been raising a small, yellow-fleshed peach and calling it 
Crawford's Early, by which they have done great injustice to this splendid fruit. Tree a 
moderate grower and extremely productive. September 5th. 
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, but with us appears to be a shy bearer. 
At its home in western New York, it is regarded as a valuable commercial variety. Ripens 
just after Crawford Early. 
REEVE'S FAVORITE. Large to very large; yellow, with beautiful red cheek ; best of all 
in quality, but a shy bearer, and of doubtful value for the commercial grower in this section. 
September 10th.
