TRIUMPH. 
This fine new early Peach originated in Georgia, and will meet the wants of a good many fruit-growers 
for a good, yellow freestone, to take the place of Alexander. It blooms late, is a strong grower and a sure and 
& abundant bearer. Fruit of 
large size, with a small pit; 
surface is yellow, nearly cov- 
ered with red and dark crim- 
son in the sun. Flesh bright 
yellow, aud of excellent fla- 
vor. Several trees (two- 
years old) produced this sea- 
son over half a bushel of fruit 
each. From the following 
unsolicited testimonials, we 
have confidence that we are 
offering you a variety far 
greater in value than any 
early Peach known.

The Triumph certainly seems 
far superior to the Alexander. 
Size, color, texture, flavor, and 
the fact that it is a freestone are 
all in its favor.

Your two invoices of specimens 
of Triumph Peach received at 
this Division, for which accept 
thanks. In both instances the 
specimens came in first-class con- 
dition, and show good shipping 
qualities. We have a painting 
and model made of a specimen of 
the first received. This Peach, 
being very heavily fuzzed, should 
be as nearly resistant to the 
attacks of the curculio as any 
variety with which I am ac- 
quainted. It is of good size, fine 
quality, rich yellow color, with a 
beautiful crimson cheek, and 
owing to its earliness, should be 
valuable in orchards everywhere

THE CHAMPION PEACH. 
The Champion originated at Nokomis, 111 ., on the grounds of Mr. I. G. Hubbard. It has been carefully 
tested during a series of years. The feature which first attracted attention to this new variety was the regu- 
larity of its bearing, which, in a section not specially adapted to Peach-culture, indicated a quality which alone 
gave it a place at the head of the list of profitable sorts for the orchardist. But the crowning event 111 the history 
of this great acquisition was the production of a full crop in 1890, when the Peach crop was a universal failure. 
The scarcity caused the handsome, luscious fruit of the Champion to be regarded as almost a novelty. Cham- 
pion stands at the head in other points, also, particularly size and quality. Many specimens have measured 10 
inches in circumference. The flavor is delicious, sweet, rich and juicy, surpassing all other varieties. Skin 
creamy white, with red cheek. It is strikingly handsome in appearance. It ripens at place of origin, Nokomis, 
111 ., about August 5. First-class, 20c. ea., $2 per doz., $9 per too ; second-class, 15c. ea., $1.75 per doz., $7 per 100. 
CROSBY. 
The constant hearing op trees op this ironclad Peach for nine years, often when all 
others have failed, has brought its hardiness and value into notice, and the demand for trees is enormous. 
The fruit is of medium size, roundish, slightly flattened, bright orange yellow, splashed with streaks of 
carmine on the sunny side, of beautiful appearance, and not so acid as most yellow Peaches of the Crawford 
class. It ripens between Early and Late Crawford, and on account of its beautiful color, will command a ready 
sale. Its fruit buds are so hardy as to withstand the frosts of winters and springs that often kill all other good 
varieties. A fine yellow Peach to supply the market when there are no others. First-class, 
20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $9 per 100; second-class, 15 cts. each, 51.50 per doz., $8 per 100; third-class, 15 cts. 
each, $1.25 per doz., 87 per 100. Mailing size, 15 cts. each, postpaid. 
LEMON FREE. 
This magnificent yellow Peach originated in Summit county, Ohio, and has proved itself to be hardier than 
any other good Peach grown in that section, and by far the most profitable. The name is very appropriate, as it 
is almost of lemon shape, being longer than broad, pointed at the apex ; color a pale yellow when ripe. It is of 
large size, the finest specimens measuring over 12 inches in circumference ; of excellent quality ; ripens 
after late Crawford ; is immensely productive, and will surely become a leading orchard variety. 
Prices same as for standard varieties.
