A remarkably profitable niarUet sort Is being 
heavily planted for orchards. Hears trans- 
portation well. Tree vigorous, liardy, and 
conies into fruiting voiiiig. Origin. Georgia. 
Early Canada. White and red. Flesh 
white. Season July. Fruit of good size, linn 
ijuality, and handsome appearance. Its earli- 
iiess, and the fact that the fruit cleaves from 
the stone, almost as thoroughly as later va- 
rieties, makes an unusual demand for this 
Peach. Origin. Jordan, Canada. 
Engle's Mammoth. Yellow, red cheek. 
Flesh yellow. Late Peach. In looks and sea- 
son of ripening the fruit is similar to the Late 
Crawford. High color. The tree will stand 
a low temperature. Found to be one of the 
heaviest croppers by the Michigan Peach 
growers. Fruit is free from blotches. In 
every way a desirable variet\\ 
Fitzgerald. Yellow and red. Flesh yellow. 
Season medium. Origin, Oakville, Ontario, 
Canada, outside the " Canadian Peach Belt," 
in a cold section, wliere Peach-growing as a 
business was never made profitable with other 
varieties, but where Fitzgerald proves suit- 
ably hardy. Fitzgerald 
commences to bear fruit 
while still young. The 
fruit is of very large size, 
larger than Early Craw- 
ford ; classed among the 
best for good tjuality of 
fruit. In bearing quali- 
ties, Fitzgerald ranks with 
the heaviest croppers. 
One strong jioint is the 
sinallness of the pit. 
Messrs. S.tSiW.CoIlinson, 
Toronto, Canada, who are 
among the largest and 
most e.xperieiiced grow- 
ers, say of Fitzgerald : 
" November 20. 1 consider 
the Fitzgerald crops at least 
25 per cent heavier than these 
other sorts. Owing to the 
iinnieiise size of tile Peach, 
it requires but half as 
many to fill the basket as it 
docs of the other varieties; 
therefore, it is most profitable 
in that respect. As a money 
maker, 1 don't believe that it 
h;is an equal, all tilings con- 
sidered. In tile first place, it 
has brought me prices three 
times as hi.gh as the ordinary 
sorts. Then the rich lla\ or of the Peach and its 
handsome coloring make it a sure seller. 
" Even this year, when there was such a glut on 
the market, when common kiiuls were bringing 
20 cents n basket, I was able to get 50 and 60 cents 
for my i^'itzgcralds. 
" During the Peach season I shipped, in two 
weeks' time, aliout ten carloads of peaches, from 
which you know I am no novice in the matter, and 
my e.-cperience in this line of fruit leads me to say 
that \'our Fitzgeralil stands at the ver>- bead of the 
list as a profitable variet\'."

■* While I was slii[)piii|; Alexander, not one-third 
of which were ripe, 1 visited the original Greens- 
boro tree; the tree was loaded with fruit colored 
heaiUirnUy, uniformly large, averaging more than 
(louble the size of Alexander. I was told that they 
li:id been ripening more than a week, and about
