GREENSBORO PEACH. 
This new Peach is larger and earlier than Alexander, and is nearly freestone. It is colored beautifully with 
crimson, and has a yellowish cast ; the flesh is white, and of good flavor. 
J. Van Lindley, a well-known nurseryman, writes as follows about this Peach : “ This year (1895), while I was 
shipping Alexanders, not one-third of which were ripe, and the Greensboro Peach being only 2 x /t miles from my 
place, I went to see it. It 
certainly was a great sur- 
prise. The tree was 
loaded with fruit, colored 
beautifully with crimson, 
with a yellowish cast. 
They were uniformly 
large, averaging more than 
double the size of Alexan- 
ders, and Mr. Balsleysaid 
they were fully half gone, 
as they had been ripening 
more than a week, and the 
tree was so full they were 
not so large as they were 
when it bore its first crop 
two years ago. About 
every Peach on the tree 
was ripe enough to ship, 
most of them getting soft. 
They would all have been 
gone had he been shipping, 
while Alexanders were not 
half gone in my orchard at 
same date. A Peach as 
large as common July 
Peaches, except Elberta, 
beautifully colored, a free- 
stone, ripening with Alex 
ander. The flesh was 
white, very juicy and of 
extra quality.” Prices,

FITZGERALD. 
This hardy new yellow Peach is attracting great attention among discriminating growers. We give the best 
description yet attainable. 
From a Report of The Canada Experimental Farm : 
“ Among new varieties Fitzgerald is perhaps the most promising. It is of the Early Crawford type, and 
apparently an improvement on that old favorite. The fruit-buds are more hardy, and the young trees will begin 
to bear the second year from planting. The fruit is large ; skin bright yellow, suffused with red ; flesh deep yellow 
and of the best quality ; stone not so large as in Crawford. It is yet too early in its history to speak definitely as 
to its many good qualities; it, however, shows indications of being the most valuable new Peach I have seen. 
Its season of ripening is with or just after Early Crawford.” Price, first-class, 25 cts. each, #2.50 per doz., $15 per 
100 ; medium, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100 ; small, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
TRIUMPH. 
This fine new early Peach originated in Georgia and will 
meet the wants of a good many fruit-growers for a good, yel- 
low freestone to take the place of Alexander. Those who 
grow early Peaches will greatly rejoice at the advent of this 
fine variety. It is a great improvement upon Alexander and 
recalls what the late Charles Downing once said : “A freestone 
as large, handsome, early and good in quality as Alexander 
would oe worth a million dollars to the public.” The Triumph 
more than meets these requirements. It ripens with Alex 
ander, blooms late, has large flowers, is a sure and abundant 
bearer, makes a very strong growth and comes into bearing 
early. The fruit is large, with very small pit ; yellow, with 
mottled crimson cheek, very handsome ; flesh yellow and 
ripens evenly to the stone ; firm in texture and exceedingly 
fine in quality and is a perfect freestone.
