TRIUHPH PEACH. 
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. 
Those who grow early Peaches will greatly rejoice at the ad- 
vent 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 be worth a million dollars to the 
public.” The Triumph originated in Georgia, and more 
than meets these requirements. It ripens with Alexander, 
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. 
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 fla- 
vor. The Peach is large, many specimens measuring 8 to 
9 inches in circumference. 
J. Van Lindley, a well-known nurseryman, writes as fol- 
lows about this Peach : “This year (1895), while I was ship- 
ping Alexanders, not one-third of which were ripe, and the 
Greensboro Peachbeing only 2^ miles from my place, I went 
to see it. It certainly was a great surprise. The tree was 
triumph peach. (Reduced.) loaded with fruit, colored beautifully with crimson, with a 
yellowish cast. They were uniformly' large, averaging more 
than double the size of Alexanders, and Mr. Balsley said 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 freestone, ripening with Alex- 
ander. It was there before me in all its beauty — the greatest surprise I ever had. I pulled a large, soft one, 
peeled the tough, thin skin off without the least trouble, and found the flesh was white, very juicy, and of extra 
quality for so early a Peach. I know of no Peach that will beat it. This is my honest opinion. ”

THE CHAMPION PEACH. 
The Champion originated at Nokomis, III., 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 in 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. Strikingly handsome 
in appearance. Ripens at place of origin, Nokomis, 
III., about August 5. First-class, 20cts. ea., $2 per doz., 
$8 per 100; medium, iscts. ea., $1.75 per doz., $6 per 100; 
second-class, 10 cts. ea., $1 per doz., 85 per 100. 
CROSBY. 
The constant bearing of trees of 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 f slightly flat- 
tened, 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 Craw- 
ford class. It ripens between Early and Late Craw- 
ford, and on account of its beautiful color, will com- 
mand 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
