E. W. REID'S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC. 
The sample peach came in due time. I regard it as very fine, both in appearance and 
quality. It excels other varieties in hardiness, and is well worth propagating. We would 
like a few trees for trial . — W. .f. Green, Horticulturist, Ohio Experiment Station. 
Champion received in excellent condition. You have got a splendid peach, judging 
from samples sent us. They are large, handsome, and of excellent quality. — Ellwanger 
& Barry. 
We are in receipt of a peach called “Champion,” which we presume is the one you 
wrote us about a few days ago. There are no peaches at all in this section of the country, 
and we have nothing to compare it with. If this is an average sample it certainly is very 
fine fruit, and we think better quality than the Mt. Rose, and much largerthan that aver- 
ages with us. — The Storrs & Harrison Co. 
Large, good and desirable. — Charles A. Green.

NOTE.— We have a large stock of peach trees that are too light for a first-class tree and 
too heavy for second-class. They are good straight stocks, well rooted and suitable. for 
planting large orchards. We will quote rates on such in 500 and 1,000 lots on application. 
Our first-class stock is as fine as ever grew. Those desiring to plant largely should 
come and inspect stock.
