TENNESSEE NURSERY CO., CLEVELAND, TENN. 
hardy aad productive; the fruit is practi- 
cally rot-proof, as original tree, standing 
in low, wet ground, has perfected its fruit, 
while other varieties all about it have rotted 
entirely. The fruit is broadly oval in form, 
large pointed; skin a yellowish white, dot- 
ted and flushed with red; flesh of creamy 
white, slightly tinged with red, of a spright- 
ly vinous flavor. The "Rural New York- 
er" first described it some years ago as an 
extra large yellow peach, like "Elberta", 
except five weeks earlier. It is certainly 
of the "Elberta" type, but it is not strictly 
a yellow peach, neither is it white. Size 
large; juicy, sweet and excellent; produc- 
tive. Originated in Texas. Tree a reg- 
ular bearer. 
Hiley — Early Belle (F.) — Very large with red 
cheek; flesh white, excellent flavor; very 
prolific, hardy in bud. It is planted very 
extensively and is strictly a commercial 
peach. Originated as a seedling from the 
Belle of Georgia, and is said to be even a 
better shipper than the Elberta. Hiley 
always brings a fancy price on the market. 
Mr. Will D. Parker, of North Carolina, 
writes us as follows: "I have been growing 
peach trees for fifteen years, and I have not 
seen an equal for the Hiley peach. The trees 
that I bought of you in 1908 are bearing, and 
I have received a third more on the crate than 
any other peach grower in this county. Mr. 
Ward, my neighbor, bought some Hiley trees 
from a northern nursery the same fall that I 
bought mine of you, and Mr. Ward took bet- 
ter care of his trees than I did, and yet my 
trees bore twice as much fruit, and brought 
a third more on the market. Ward and my- 
self will send you a large order this fall. 
Mountain Rose (F.) — Large red, flesh white, 
juicy, rich and excellent. A fine peach 
and should be in every collection. 
Champion (F.)— Originated at Nokomis, 111. 
Many specimens have measured ten inches 
in circumference. The flavor is delicious, 
rich, sweet and juicy; skin creamy, with 
red cheek, strikingly handsome. It is 
very hardy and productive; the largest 
size, highest flavor, and one of the best 
shippers of the early varieties; bears young. 
The peculiarity of this great acquisition is 
its hardiness, and the crowning event in its 
history is having stood 18 degrees below 
zero in the winter of 1887-8, and produced 
an abundant crop when the peach crop all 
around it was a universal failure. 
Select Elberta Seedlings (C, S.C. and F.)— 
For a number of years we have been plant- 
ing select Elberta seeds, allowing them to 
grow and not bed them. These trees al- 
ways bear fine fruit, sometimes resembling 
the Elberta, and other times being entirely 
different, but always having splendid fruit. 
They ripen with, two weeks before, and 
two weeks after the Elberta. This is the 
way a number of the standard commercial 
varieties of peach trees originated. Each, 
5 cts.; per 10, 40 cts.; per 100, $3.00. 
Yellow St. John (F.)— One of the earliest 
yellow peaches. Tree vigorous and enor- 
mously productive; fruit very large and 
attractive. Good bearer. Nearly as large 
as Crawford's, and even better in flavor. 
A fine dessert peach. A good shipper and 
is strictly a commercial peach. 
Old Mixon (F.) — A large pale yellow peach, 
with deep red cheek; rich and good. One 
of the best. 
Old Mixon Cling — Large, pale yellow with 
red cheek; juicy, rich and highly flavored. 
One of the best clingstones. 
Crawford's Early (F.) — A magnificent, large 
yellow peach of good quality. Tree vig- 
orous and very productive. Its fine size, 
beauty and productiveness make it one of 
the most popular sorts. It is planted ex- 
tensively. This valuable peach has long 
been a favorite. Most people, when buy- 
ing peaches, ask for Crawford's, knowing 
but little about other varieties. Slightly 
subacid. 
Stump 
Stump the World (F.) — Large, roundish, skin 
white, with bright red cheek; flesh white, 
juicy and good.
