TENNESSEE NURSERY CO., CLEVELAND, TENN. IS 
Mayflower (S.C.) — The earliest peach known; 
a good shipper, fine flavor. Practically 
frost proof; it blooms very late and the 
blossoms are very large, thus quite safe 
from ordinary frosts. Safe and sure for 
planters everywhere. It is a gloriously 
"red all over" peach, so handsome and of 
such splendid quality that it tops all mar- 
kets. Every commercial orchardist should 
plant them — they should be in every home 
garden everywhere. Our stock comes from 
the originator, and can be relied upon as 
being genuine and first class in every re- 
spect. Since the acquisition of "May- 
flower", with its remarkable record made 
in the orchard of the veteran peach grower, 
J. Van Lindley of North Carolina (the in- 
troducer of Greensboro), we have discard- 
ed such sorts as Victor and others of that 
class. 
Sneed (S.C.) — Ripens a week later than May- 
flower. Fruit medium to large, greenish 
white, blush on sunny side, juicy. It orig- 
inated with Hon. Judge Sneed, of Mem- 
phis, Tennessee. Belongs to the Chinese 
cling type. 
Greensboro (S.C.) — Good commercial sort, 
large and a few days earlier than Alexander. 
It is colored beautifully with crimson and 
has a yellow cast. The flesh is white and 
of good flavor. The peach is large, many 
specimens measuring ten inches in circum- 
ference; productive; not so subject to rot 
as most early varieties. Nearly a free- 
stone. 
Alexander (S.C.) — Large size, handsome and 
regular in form with deep maroon shade, 
covered with richest tints of crimson; rich 
and good in quality, with a vinous flavor; 
adheres to the stone. Should remain on 
the tree until fully ripe. 
Slappy (F.) — The earliest and handsomest 
freestone peach grown; ripens at a season 
when the market is bare of good peaches; 
a thrifty grower, very hardy and prolific; 
excellent flavor; splendid keeping quali- 
ties; free of excessive rot usually caused by 
too much rain. No better shipper has yet 
been introduced; ripens thoroughly to the 
seed; very sweet, yellow flesh; a clear gold- 
en yellow color with dark shades; a beau- 
ty. The secret of peach growing depends 
upon the selection of varieties for planting. 
When you have "Slappy" you have your 
crop off and your money made before the 
general peach crop conies in. Best peach 
of its season. 
Carman (F.) — The originator says it is either 
a sister of or a seedling of the Elberta; tree 
of same manner and habit of growth, only 
has larger and darker colored foliage. Tree
