with plenty of roots — nearly all the roots the trees ever had — and are not seriously checked 
when transplanted. 
LARGE PLANTERS, and those at a distance, will find that there is a great economy in 
medium sized trees. Of course they do not look so large when first planted, but when 
bearing time comes the little fellows will be found ready for work and a large saving is made 
in first cost and in labor in planting.

TEN LEADERS IN PEACHES 
The following ten varieties placed as nearly as possible in the order of their ripening, 
comprise a list which we can unhesitatingly recommend to prospective planters of Peach 
orchards. The dates of ripening of different varieties vary with the seasons and other con- 
ditions, but the dates given may be considered as approximately correct as to time of be- 
ginning to ripen and as each variety has its period of from one to two weeks these ten varie- 
ties will fonn a continuous succession through- the whole peach season. 
CARMAN. A new, hardy, rot- 
proof Peach, ripening about the 
same time as Early Rivers, yet al- 
most as large and fine as Elberta 
itself; large, roundish, red blush on 
sunny side; white flesh, tender and 
melting; rich, sweet and of superior 
flavor; by far the finest of any Peach 
ripening ahead of Mountain Rose. 
It is a great thing to have a Peach 
so early which is yet of such elegant 
quality. Carman is also a notable 
shipper — it carries well for long dis- 
tance. 
HIELEY (Early Bell). This seed- 
ling 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 like its parent 
in size, color and beauty, having the 
same vigor of tree and hardiness of 
fruit buds, giving us a large, rich, 
creamy white Peach, with rich blush 
on sunny side, as large as Stump, as 
beautiful as Old Mixon, of fine qual- 
ity and a good .shipper. Ripens just 
before Mountain Rose. CARMAN PEACH. 
MOUNTAIN ROSE. A variety of very great 
value, very profitable for market and is stead- 
ily growing in favor. Fruit large; roundish; 
skin whitish, nearly covered with light and 
dark rich red; flesh white, slightly stained at 
the stone, juicy, sweet, extra fine quality; 
separates freely from the stone. This is one 
of the standard commercial sorts that can be 
depended on for profit. August 25th to Sep- 
tember 1st. 
OLD MIXON. This is a fine, large, ex- 
ceedingly productive variety, succeeding well 
in all localities and well deser\'ing 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 
exceltent. Sept. 10th. 
CHAMPION. Fruit large, of beautiful ap- 
pearance, flavor delicious, rich, sweet, juicy, 
skin creamy white, with red cheeks. A good 
shipper, ripening with Mountain Rose or a 
few days later. The peculiarity of this hand- 
some Peach is the hardiness of its fruit buds^
