SOME PROMISING NEW PEACHES 
GREENSBORO PEACH. 
This new Peach Is larger and earlier than Alexander, and is nearly freestone, 
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 1 was shipping Alexanders, not one- 
third of which were ripe, and the Greensboro 
Peach being only 2% miles from my place, 1 
went to see it. It certainly was a great surprise. 
The tree was loaded with fruits, colored beauti- 
fully with crimson with a yellowish cast. They 
.were uniformly large, averaging more than 
double tbe size of Alexanders, and Mr. Balsley 
said they were fully half gone, as they had been 
ripening more than a weelc, 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 Alexander. The flesh 
was white, very juicy and of extra quality.”

The Sneed Peach. 
TRIUMPH. 
This fine new early Peach originated in Georgia and will meet 
the wants of a good many fruit-growers for a good, yellow free- 
stone 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, hand- 
some, early and good In quality as Alexander would be 
worth a million dollars to the public.” The Triumph more 
than meets these requirements. It ripens with Alexander, 
blooms late, has largo 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. Prices, first-class, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 
$7 per 100; medium, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $G per 100; 
small, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $5 per 100.
