Clifton Park 
CLIITON TARK PEACH, REDUCED X- 
This wonderful new seedling originated with Wm. Palmer, of Saratoga Co., 
N. Y. Entered in the seedling class at New York State Fair in 1897, was 
awarded first premium over all others, on account of its delicious qualHy and 
handsome appearance. We were attracted by its appearance at that time, 
and in August, '98, we visited Mr. Palmer, and again found a fair crop of fine 
fruit on same tree, while we failed to find any peaches at all in the neighbor- 
hood save these. We were led to believe that in point of hardiness, as well as 
quality and appearance, it would be desirable to propagate it, and have there- 
fore arranged with Mr. Palmer for the exclusive control of this new peach. 
Its points of superiority are: 
Hardiness, fi.ne flavor, handsome appearance, enormously prod'tctive Qaa.v- 
ing borne three successive crops). Sold at $3.00 per bushel. 
Absolutely free stone; good size, creamy white, with fine red cheek; form 
nearly round, very juicy, with a rich flavor. A good shipper. 
Each. Doz. 100. 
First-class trees $0 50 $5 00 $20 00 
Second size 3 to 4 ft 25 3 00

Messrs. Wiley & Co. : 
The peach exhibited by Mr. Palmer at State Fair in the fall of 1897, known 
as Clifton Park, seemed to show sufficient merit to entitle it to the first prem- 
ium as a new seedling. Its great beauty made it an object of attention, while 
its quality was excellent, and from his statement as to its productiveness and 
hardiness, it would seem to be a desirable variety for general cultivation. 
Yours trulv, S. D. WILLARD. 
Aay peach that will fruit three fall crops, as this 
has, three seasons out of five, in cold Saratoga Co., 
certainly must approach as near Iron Clad as it is 
possible to get.
