STEVENS' RARERIPE 
BRAY'S RARERIPE. "If you 
are located where peach buds 
are very liable to winter kill, 
plant some of these, for they 
are very hardy in bud, and 
need to be thinned. White 
with red on sunny side; free- 
stone, flesh fine grained. Heavy 
bearer. September 2.5th to 
30th." — L. E. Covert, New 
York. 
IRON MOUNTAIN. "Size 
large, shape oblong or egg 
shape, color pure white, some- 
times having a slight blush. It 
is perfect freestone and has as 
good quality as any white 
peach ever grown. Sea.son 
September 20th to October 
10th, according to season and 
soil." — /. H. Black & Son. 
We have not fruited this 
variety. 
CHAIR'S CHOICE. Much like 
Late Crawford, but a week la- 
ter in ripening, and like Late 
Crawford, needs a rich, strong 
soil to do its best. In western 
New York, these varieties are 
regarded as among the most profitable commercial sorts, but they are generally un- 
profitable in this section. September 25th. 
WILLETT. This peach we have not fruited, but it is described as a very large yellow 
peach of the Late Crawford type. Our trees are the second generation from the orieinal 
tree. September 25th. . 
"Its hardiness in bud, beauty, excellent shipping quality, and special adaptability 
tor all purposes make it one of the most promising varieties for the commercial grower.'' 
— Dept. of Agriculture. 
' It is more than good." — W. L. McKay, New York. 
SMOCK. Medium to large light orange yellow, with red cheek; flesh yellow, rich, 
excellent quality. October 1st. 
MATTHEW'S BEAUTY. This new and valuable peach is a cross between Elberta and 
Smock, showmg a parentage of both. The fruit is large, shaped similar to Elberta, but a 
little longer. Skm a beautiful yellow, streaked with red; flesh yellow, firm and of excellent 
quahty An annual and prolific bearer, with shipping qualities unsurpassed. Ripens 
about three weeks after Elberta, which it exceeds in quality. The above is as it has been 
described to us. We have not fruited it ourselves. 
STEVEN'S RARERIPE. Large, white peach with red cheek. Tree hardy in bud and a 
good bearer. Steven's is regarded by growers in the Hudson River section as one of the 
best commercial varieties, and has been planted largely by some of the best posted growers 
in Connecticut the last few years. We fruited this variety this season and thought very 
highly ot it. It was certainly best in quality of any peach we ever saw of its season. Octo- 
ber 1st to 5th. 
"High quality, heavy and regular bearer." — L. E. Covert, New York. 
"The favorite variety in the Hudson valley to follow Elberta, ripening a week or ten . 
days later. A good shipper. Is often held in cold storage eighteen to twenty-one days 
without loss, when its fine appearance insures top prices." — E. W. Barnes, New York. 
SALWAY. A large round deep yellow peach with dull red cheek; flesh firm and rich. 
In this latitude needs to be planted on early light soil. October 1st to 5th. 
"Produces more blossom buds than most varieties which are winter hardy nearly 
always needs thinning of fruit."— £. W. Barnes, New York. 
"Produces a crop when other varieties fail." — L. E. Covert, New York. 
EMPEROR. Very large, yellow fleshed, skin a beautiful yellow with red cheek.
