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 vari- 
ety. Skin yellowish white with a red cheek; 
flesh white but red at the stone; tender, rich 
and excellent. Our strain of this variety is 
the best to be had, and were grown from a 
tree more than fifty years old, now standing 
in a healthy condition on the ground of j! 
W. Kerr of Denton, Md. September 10th. 
BEQUETT FREE. Large; skin greenish 
white, blushed and marbled with red; fiesh 
white and of fine quality. It is a certain and 
heavy bearer and the fruit is all large. Just 
about like the Elberta except it is white. 
September 10th. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. A large white peach 
with beautiful red cheeks, one of our most 
hardy and reliable bearers, and regarded as a 
most valuable, standard, commercial variety 
OLD MIXON PEACH by all experienced growers. Tree a rapid 
grower and comes into bearing early. September 10th. 
"Grand for family or market, most reliable white-fleshed peach known." 
ELBERTA. Here is the King of Market Peaches! An exceedingly large, light-colored 
yellow peach with red cheek. Flesh yellow. This is truly a fine peach, noted for its large 
size and fine appearance. The tree is vigorous and very productive. No other peach has 
made such a name for shipping and none is cultivated more extensively. It is the ideal 
market peach, and a royal fruit. The fruit market has never yet had too many of this 
sort. A perfect freestone. Commercial growers have made more money on this variety 
than on all others. September 10th to 15th. 
STUMP, 'a large, roundish white peach with red cheek; a valuable commercial variety. 
There has been considerable confusion regarding this variety, some planters having a 
strain ripening with Old Mixon, but ours were grown from healthy bearing trees, ripening 
after Elberta. September 10th to loth. 
CRAWFORD'S LATE. A standard sort, of large size, considered by some the best of its i 
season, and as a yellow-fleshed peach, unequaled in quality. September 15th to 20th. 
FRANCES. A large yellow peach ripen- 
ing just after Elberta. By time the latter 
is done Frances is ready for shipment and 
this prevents the occurrence of a break in 
the succession and reaches the market at 
a time when peaches are in great demand. 
It is a very handsome peach. September 
15th to 20th. 
"A very handsome and promising 
peach, especially for market." — Ohio Exp. 
Station, Bulletin 170. 
"Hardy, vigorous and productive; 
large, handsome and of good quality; 
ripens just after Elberta, which is a valu- 
able point in its favor." — E. H. Riehl in 
Coleman's Rural World. 
FOX'S SEEDLING. Medium to large; 
white flesh; skin creamy white, with 
bright red cheek; a very heavy bearer. 
One of the most profitable late white FRANCES PEACH 
peaches grown. As popular among late 
white peaches as is Mountain Rose among the medium early. September 25th to October 1st.
