GENERAL LIST OF PEACHES 
Arranged as nearly as possible in order of 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 
m appearance, a large white peach, one side covered with light and dark crimson and 
freestone when fully npe. The fruit sold readily the past summer for $1.25 per basket at 
wholesale. We regard this variety as a valuable market variety to start the season with. 
Its large size, attractive appearance, and reliability in bearing combine to make it 
one of the best of its season." — Ohio Ex. Sta. Bull. 170. 
"Largest of all eariy peaches, beautifully colored with light and dark red, shaded with 
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 covenng 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 shipping well 
€ven long distances." — Ohio Ex. Station. 
CARMAN. This variety is almost 
as large as Elberta, of nearly same 
shape; white with beautiful red cheek, 
one of the most hardy and reliable 
bearers, and the market has never yet 
been fully supplied with fruit of this 
variety and we recommend it for com- 
mercial planting. One week before 
Mountain Rose. 
"Quality extra good, well worth 
planting." — H. E. Van Demon. 
"In many respects the most prof-- 
itable and valuable peach in Amer- 
ica." — J. 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 recommend it for com- 
mercial planting; ripens just before 
Mountain Rose. 
"Take my word for it, don't miss 
planting Hieley, it is a money maker, 
sure." — /. H. Hale. 
CARMAN PEACH 
MOUNTAIN ROSE. A variety of very great value; fruit large, roundish; skin whitish, 
neariy covered with light and dark rich red; juicy, sweet, and extra nne 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 
u '^Ti?'"®^'"^ 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 fruit 
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 Eariy, 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- 
freestone. 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.
