ens after Crawford 's Early. The great 
commercial peach of to-day. See cut. 
Mr. H. S. Wiley, Cayuga, N. Y. 
Dear Sir: I am sending you to-day a photo 
of a branch of one of my Elberta trees you 
sold me three years ago. The actual diameter 
of the branch close to the stem is % of an 
inch and contains 63 perfectly developed 
specimens at this date, Sept. 28. I have to 
support it by tying it up to the main trunk in 
two places. Very truly yours,
