FITZGERALD. 
From Roport of 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 tiees will begm 
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., 815 per 
100; medium, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 812 per 100; 
small, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per too. 
GREENSBORO. 
This new Peach is larger and earlier than Alex- 
ander, and is nearly freestone. It is colored beau- 
tifully 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 -i'A miles from my place, I went to see it. It 
certainly was a great surprise. The tree was loaded 
with fruit, colored beautifully with crimson, with a 
yellowish cast. They were uniformly large, averag- 
ing 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. The flesh was white, very juicy, and of ex- 
tra quality.” Prices, first-class, r 20 cents each, 82 per dozen, 89 P e, ‘ 1 °°.: medium, 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen, 
88 per 100 ; second-class, 10 cents each, $1 per dozen, $5 per 100 ; mail-size, postpaid, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.

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. 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 <; 
f ood in quality as Alexander would be worth a million ‘ " I ' 
ollars to the public.” The Triumph more than meets 
these requirements. It ripens with Alexander, blooms JtiMt 
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. ' , ' ’’
