Fitzgerald 
This hardy new yellow Peach is attracting great attention among discriminating growers. We give the best 
description yet attainable. “ Originated on north shore of Lake Ontario. Original tree has borne five successive 
crops. The best posted grower in Michigan says it 
is as large or larger than Crawford’s Early, with the 
smallest pit he ever saw, and the most brilliant 
colors. Grows similar to Crawford, and ripens be- 
tween Early and Late Crawford; flesh rich, deep 
golden yellow of very high character. Certainly a 
very fine Peach ; stands the winter better than any 
yet offered.” Price, first-class, 20 cts. each, $2 per 
doz., $7 per too; medium, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per 
doz., $6 per 100; small, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $4 
per 100. 
Carman 
A Peach of North China type that promises to 
be of great value. The originator says it is either a 
seedling or a sister of Elberta. The tree has the 
same habit of growth, with larger and darker foli- 
age ; hardy and productive. Fruit is practically 
rot-proof, as the original tree, standing in low, wet 
ground, has perfected its fruit three seasons, while 
other varieties all about have rotted entirely. Car- 
man is described as large, broad-ovate in form, 
pointed ; skin yellowish white, dotted and flushed 
red; flesh creamy white, slightly tinged red, of a 
sprightly vinous flavor. The Rural New-Yorker 
first described it some years ago as an extra-large, 
yellow Peach, like Elberta, but five weeks earlier. 
It certainly is of Elberta type. The Texas Farm 
and Ranch says: “Carman Peach is large, ob- 
long, resembling Elberta, and is the best flavored 
early Peach we know. The skin is tough, and it is Admiral Dewey, 
just tlie Peach to ship a long distance.” Price, 
first-class, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $8 per 100; medium, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $7 per too; second-class, 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $5 per 100. 
Admiral Dewey 
Admiral Dewey is another triumph in the production of very early Peaches. There is no known very early 
variety that can compare with it in all the qualities that go to make a desirable early market Peach. Its intro- 
duction will mark as great an advance in early varieties as did the advent of the Triumph, to which it is much 
superior. Admiral Dewey is a perfect freestone Peach, ripening with Triumph, but has better form, brighter 
color on the surface, is equally hardy and productive. The flesh is of uniform color and texture to the pit. The 
tree is a strong, symmetrical grower and as near perfection as we can obtain in any one variety. See also back 
cover. Price, i-year, 50 cts. each, $4 per doz. ; June buds, by mail, 25 cts. each, postpaid. 
Lorentz 
A seedling discovered in Marshall county, W. Va., and which we carefully watched for several years before 
deciding to offer it to the public. We are now more than ever convinced that this is something better than has 
ever been offered for a Peach so late in the season. We have never known it to fail a crop in the most adverse 
seasons, and believe it is as near frost-proof as any variety yet introduced. It bears crops when others fail 
entirely. Fruit is unusually large and of a superior flavor, especially for one so late in the season. It is a free- 
stone, yellow-fleshed, and its handsome appearance has been a surprise to all who have seen it. It bears 
enormously; one foot of wood cut for photographing had as many as 25 Peaches on it. The Peaches frequently 
require thinning from over-production. We feel confident this is the best late Peach ever introduced. The fruit 
does not crack, is very firm, keeps well and is a fine shipper, selling at prices double those obtained for any 
other late Peach on the market. We have a large demand for the trees where known, and as stock is limited, 
would advise patrons to order early. Price, first-class, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $12 per 100 ; medium, 20 cts. 
each, $ 2 per doz., $10 per 100; second-class, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $8 per too; mailing size, postpaid, 15 
cts. each, $1.50 per doz.
