PERFECTION— This new and valuable peach originated about three miles 
above Weston, Umatilla county, Oregon, near the timber line of the Blue 
Mountain Range, at a high altitude which proves its hardiness. The fruit is 
of the largest size, yellow with a beautiful blush cheek. The flesh is thick 
and very fine grained yellow, with red around the pit, which is nearly as small 
as a prune seed. Its tough skin, firm flesh and good keeping qualities place 
it in the lead for a good shipping and market variety. Ripens from 10th to 
15th of September. 
PROLIFIC (New)— Large, attractive, firm; color yellow, crimson cheek; 
flesh yellow to pit; very firm; pit small; very productive and one of the 
hardiest peaches known. September.

flesh yellow, red at the stone, juicy, melting, with a vinous flavor; a good, 
hardy variety. September.

ish red cheek; flesh deep yellow, red at the pit, rich and sweet; a standard

yellow, with beautiful red cheeks; flesh yellow, sweet, juicy, with a rich, 
vinous flavor. 
TRIUMPH — A freestone, ripening with Alexander; blooms late and tree is 
a strong, thrifty grower; the fruit is of large size with a very small pit; sur- 
face yellow, nearly covered with red, and dark crimson in the sun; flesh 
bright yellow, juicy, sweet and of excellent flavor. 
VAN BUREN DWARF— Tree very dwarf and ornamental, and on this ac- 
count valuable for very small gardens; fruit medium size; skin yellow, shaded 
red; flesh yellow and of fine quality. Ripens middle of August.

trees have remarkable vigor and vitality; valuable for drying and canning.

WATERLOO — Originated at Waterloo, N. Y.; medium to large size; color 
whitish green, marbled with red, deepening into dark purple crimson in the 
sun; flesh greenish white, with an abundance of sweet, Vihous juice; adheres 
some to the stone, like Amsden, Hale’s Early, etc.; ripened at Waterloo July 
14, 1878; in 1879 three or four days ahead of Alexander. For so early a peach 
it is a remarkable keeper, ripe specimens having been kept in perfect condi- 
tion for nearly a week. This makes it valuable for shipping.
