NIAGARA PEACH. 
A new variety which is gaining a great 
reputation in Niagara County, where it is 
said to have originated. Peach growers in 
that county are planting largely of it. The 
fruit is very large, of fine quality and hand- 
some appearance, a little later than Early 
Crawford, of which it is said to be a seed- 
ling. 
Carman — Large, resembles Elberta in shape; 
color creamy white or pale yellow with 
deep blush; skin very tough, flesh tender, 
fine flavor and quite juicy. Ripens with 
Early Rivers. One of the hardiest in bud. 
Yellow St. John — Nearly as large as Craw- 
ford, fully equal in color. Fruit round, 
brilliant, showy; one of the earliest yellow 
peaches. August. 
THE FILLER SYSTEM— See Diagram, Page 7 
The most modern method of planting Apple Orchards in Western New York, called 
the Filler System is indicated by the diagram on page 5. The cross X represents the 
permanent tree of whatever variety selected, to be planted 40 or SO feet apart each way 
as the planter may choose. 
The circle O represents the filler or early fruiting variety, as Duchess, Ben Davis, 
Wealthy (if of apple), or whatever variety may be considered by the planter most profit- 
able. Not unfrequently the planter chooses to fill with Peach or sometimes with Pear. 
If permanent trees are planted 40 feet each way it will readily be seen that when the 
orchard is completed the trees will stand 20 feet each way; this is called the Filler Sys- 
tem. In using this plan it is the purpose of the planter to cut out the fillers when, or 
before, they begin to crowd the permanent trees. The advantage is to use all the ground 
and secure as many crops of fruit from the filler as possible before they interfere with 
the permanent trees.
