EverbearinK Peach- This is one of the most remarkable of peaches, as it combines many desirable qualities 
which make It of great value for family use. , „„ 
1. Its long continued bearing period. The first ripening begins about July 1, and successive crops are pro- 
duced until the beginning of September. Fruit in all stages of development— ripe and half grown may be seen 
upon the tree at the same time. Our two-year-old trees are fruiting this year. 
2. As the tree blossoms during a long period, a complete failure of fruit has never happened since the 
original tree first began to bear eight years ago. 
3. The fruit is creamv white, mottled and striped with light purple and pink veins; oblong In shape ana 
tapering to the apex; flesh white, with red veins near the skin; very juicy, vinous, and of excellent flavor, 
quality very good to best. Freestone, of the Indian type. 
The first ripening average 3% inches long by 3 Inches broad. The size of the fruit of the second and 
following crops diminishes gradually until that of the last ripening is about 2 Inches in diameter. A supply 
of fruit may, therefore, be secured from the same tree for nearly three months in succession. 
We don't recommend the Everbearing peach for commercial orchards, but for family use or small Bardens. 
where there is room for only a few trees, its value is unquestionable. We offer it with confidence, as we have 
known the original tree for the past four years, and gathered the fruit in various stages of development. 
No discount on price, regardless of the size of trees or quantity ordered. No buds or grafts for sale.
