/^\\/^^ 4^ The ease with which Peach trees may be 
1^^^^ cultivated, their comparative freedom 
I from disease, the short period before they 
become productive, with the immense demand for the fruit and the 
facihty with which it may be shipped to distant markets, make 
Peach growing extremely profitable. To secure healthy, vigorous and fruit- 
ful trees the ground must be kept clean and mellow, and it should receive an 
occasional dressing of wood ashes. It should be remembered that Peaches 
are all borne on wood of the previous season's growth, and that this makes it 
absolutely necessary to prune the trees yearly, to remove dead branches, to 
let in light and air, and to keep the trees in good shape to produce bearing 
wood.

We are especially anxious to correspond with you on large quan- 
tities. 
Alexander's Early. (Alexander.) Originated near Mt. Pulaski, Ills. 
Medium size ; skin greenish-white, nearly covered with red ; flesh melting, 
jnicy. sweet ; tree vigorous and productive ; ripens two weeks earlier than 
Hale's ICarly. 
Crawford's Early. A magnificent large yellow peach of good quality. 
Tree vigorous and very productive. Its fine size, beauty and productiveness 
make it one of the most popular sorts ; no other variety has been so exten- 
sively planted. 
Champion. Very large, many specimens measuring ten inches in circum- 
ference ; creamy white, with red cheek ; flavor delicious ; sweet, rich and 
juicy ; very hardy, productive. August. Free.

skin yellow, or greenish yellow, with dull red cheek ; flesh yellow, tree vigor- 
ous, moderately productive ; one of the finest late sorts. Last of September. 
Morris White. Medium; straw color, tinged with red ; juicy and deli- 
cious, productive. Middle of September. 
Old Mixon Free. Large, pale yellow, with a deep red cheek ; tender, 
rich and good ; one of the best. First to middle of September. 
Early Canada. Originated at Jordan, Canada. As early as the ear- 
liest. Of good size, of firm quality, and handsome appearance. Its earliness, 
origin, and the fact that the flesh cleaves from the stone almost as freely as 
with the later varieties, creates an unusual demand for trees of this variety. 
Early Rivers. Large : color creamy-white, with a delicate pink cheek ; 
flesh melting, with a remarkably rich, racy flavor. Larger and ten days later 
than Alexander. One of the finest of all peaches for home use or near-by 
market. 
Elberta. The great market peach of the South and Southwest. It is 
perfectly hardy at the North, and is confidently believed by the most experi- 
enced growers at the North, to be one of the very best peaches for home use 
or market. Ripens with Crawford's Early. 
Foster. Originated in Medford, Mass. Large, deep orange-red, be- 
coming very dark on the sunny side ; flesh yellow, very rich and juicy, with 
sub-acid flavor. Ripens with Early Crawford. Very handsome. The origi- 
nator says he sold the fruit readily at first for $12 per dozen peaches. 
Garfield or Brigdon. A new peach, originated in Cayuga County, N. 
Y. Flesh yellow, very rich and juicy ; color deep orange red. Middle of 
September.
