PICQUET*S LATE. This very valuable late 
Peach originated in Georgia, and has been dis- 
seminated over a wide extent of country, and 
succeeds well generally. It has been planted to 
a considerable extent, and has proved a very 
excellent and profitable sort. Fruit large and 
handsome ; skin yellow, with red cheek ; flesh 
yellow, melting, sweet, and of the highest qual- 
ity. We recomend It to the orchardist for its 
many valuable qualities. 
ROSE. A medium growing, rather small, 
stocky tree, and while in no sense a dwarf, 
never attains great size, like the Belle or Car- 
man, and may safely be planted at somewhat 
less distance apart. It has the large open blos- 
som of the North China type, that always indi- 
cates greater hardiness than the small bloomed 
varieties, such as Elberta, or the Crawfords. It 
blooms very abundantly, a tree worthy of plant- 
ing for the flower effects alone. 
It has fruited every season for ten years 
past without a single failure. Fruit is of medium 
size, rich, deep red nearly all over two weeks 
before it ripens, and when fully ripe fully 90 per- 
cent are red all over. It's a thorough clingstone, 
or press peach, as called In the south, with fine 
grained flesh of its class, rich, sweet and de- 
licious. 
REEVE'S FAVORITE. Fruit verj' large, 
round; skin yellow, with fine red cheek; flesh 
deep yellow, juicy, melting and excellent; tree 
hardy and productive. A most reliable yellow 
market Peach. Late July. Free. 
RED BIRD (Semi-clingstone). Very early; 
the Red Bird is a remarkable Peach. It is the 
first profitable commercial shipping peach to 
ripen. Just about three days after Mayflower, 
the earliest on the list. It is a large round, rich, 
creamy white peach and nearly covered with a 
bright red. Flesh is Arm, juicy, fair to good 
quality. Splendid shipper, remarkably free from 
rot. The tree is a vigorous grower, hardy, mod- 
erately productive, and a very regular cropper. 
Bears third to fourth year. 
RINGGOLD CLING. Much larger than Heath; 
in every way an improvement on that popular 
kind. September 1. 
STUMP THE WORLD. Large, nearly round; 
color blush red on creamy white ground. One 
of the finest of mid-summer Peaches. Free- 
stone. Late July and early August. 
SUSQUEHANNA. A very handsome and val- 
uable Peach. Originated on the banks of the 
Susquehanna River. In Pennsylvania; a great 
favorite wherever known, Fruit of the largest 
size, sometimes measuring 12 inches in circum- 
ference; skin rich yellow, with a beautiful red 
cheek; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet, with a rich 
vinous flavor. Freestone. August 25. 
SALWAY. A large, late yellow freestone, of 
English origin ; handsomely mottled, with a 
brownish red cheek ; flesh deep yellow, juicy, 
melting, rich; very productive; growing more 
and more in favor with the orchardist. 
STEVENS' RARERIPE. The fruit in appear- 
ance somewhat resembles an enlarged and re- 
markably high-colored Oldmixon Free. Superb 
in every way. Late July. 
STINSON'S OCTOBER. Large; white, with 
red cheek; of very good flavor. The best very 
late Peach. October. 
SNEED. The most remarkable early Peach 
yet introduced; It ripens a week to ten days 
earlier than Alexander; it is very distinct in tree 
and fruit, belonging to the Chinese Cling type: 
size medium; white, with blush on cheek; free. 
THURBER. Large to very large; skin white, 
with light crimson mottllngs; flesh very juicy, 
vinous, and of delicate aroma, of exceedingly 
fine texture. Maturity middle to end of July. 
Has seldom failed to yield a crop of fruit when 
other varieties failed, and is highly prized as a 
market sort by Western growers. 
TUSKENA. Identical with early Crawford, 
but a cling. Ripens with Early Crawford. Very 
fine early cling Peach, and should be in every 
family orchard. 
TRIUMPH. The earliest yellow Peach ever 
known, ripening closely following Greensboro and 
Alexander; of good size; averaging some larger 
than Alexander; very highly covered all over 
with a yellowish dark red, making it a very 
showy market Peach; flesh yellow; good quality, 
and when fully ripe it parts readily from the 
pit, which is very small; extremely hardy and 
a fine shipper. 
VICTOR, Origin, Texas. A remarkably early 
new Peach. Ripens fully two weeks before Alex- 
ander, and a week before any other Peach. 
Alexander was considered a wonder in its day. 
but here is Victor two weeks ahead of the Alex- 
ander record. Of medium size, of a light cream- 
color, beautifully streaked with red; a cling- 
stone; does not rot, and ripens evenly to the seed, 
something very unusual in early Peaches. Vic- 
tor marks a new era in early market Peaches. 
WADDELL. Size medium to large, oblong; 
rich creamy white, bright blush on sunny side, 
covering half of the Peach ; flesh firm, rich, 
sweet, melting when fully ripe; freestone, about 
as large as Belle of Georgia and ripens close 
after the Triumph; for family use or for mar- 
ket It is equal to any of its season. If not 
superior; of the North China family. 
WONDERFUL PEACH. Fruit large; color 
rich yellow, with a bright crimson blush, shaded 
and blotched in the yellow by minute crimson 
dots; quality one of the very best. Ripens in 
September.
