PEACHES, continued 
Early Tillotson. Medium ; white, partially 
hidden with attractive red ; excellent flavor ; 
freestone. A valued market sort ; fine ship- 
per. Ripens about June 20. 
Emma. New. Large ; yellow, with brightly 
reddened cheek ; yellow flesh, juicy, firm, of 
excellent quality. One of the best for market. 
Ripens last of July. 
Elberta. Standard of excellence. Its ex- 
ceptional flavor and shipping qualities have 
made it known the country over. Thousands 
of trees are in bearing in the large Peach- 
growing centers, some orchards containing 
as many as 75,000 of this variety alone. 
Large ; yellow, slightly overspread with red, 
red cheek; flesh yellow, rich, juicy, melting, 
fine; freestone. Middle of July. 
Everbearing. New, and a novelty — tried 
and good. One of the most desirable for the 
family garden. Begins to ripen about the 1st 
of July, bearing continually until into Sep- 
tember. Medium to large ; skin creamy 
white, streaked and mottled with reddish 
purple ; flesh white, veined with red just un- 
der the skin ; very juicy, rich, finely flavored ; 
freestone. 25 cents each, $2 for 10. 
Fleitas, or Yellow St. John. Large ; yel- 
low, with red cheek; flesh yellow, sweet and 
juicy ; freestone. Ripens with Early Tillot- 
son but lasts longer. 
Foster. A large yellow Peach, much like 
Crawford’s Early, but somewhat earlier ; red, 
very deep in the sun ; flesh yellow ; freestone. 
General Lee. Medium in size ; flesh finely 
grained, melting, very juicy ; clingstone. A 
seedling of Chinese Cling and an improve- 
ment on the parent, both in quality and 
habit of growth. Ripens July 1 to 10. 
Globe. Large ; rich golden yellow, with 
blush ; flesh yellow, rich, excellent quality ; 
freestone. Fine shipper. About July 20. 
Greensboro. Largest and most beautifully 
colored of all the early sorts. Considerably 
larger than Alexander ; ripens at same time.

good. 
Hale’s Early. Excellent for home use, too 
tender for shipping. Above medium in size ;

melting, good ; freestone. Ripens June 5 to 
10, lasting two weeks. 
Heath Cling. Very large ; creamy white ; 
flesh white, juicy, vinous, rich. September.

fair to good ; flesh deep red, juicy ; compact, 
dwarf habit of growth. Ripens about with

Lady Ingold. Very similar to Crawford’s 
Early, somewhat better quality, and ripens a 
few days earlier. Freestone.

low, with deep crimson colorings ; produc- 
tive. Clingstone. September. 
Lemon Cling. Large, resembling a lemon 
in shape ; golden yellow skin, slightly tinged 
with red ; flesh yellow, just reddening at the 
stone, rich, subacid. Middle to end of 
August. 
Lemon Free. Like the cling, except that it 
is a freestone, and a little earlier.

skin, beautifully colored with red ; excellent 
quality. A showy and superior shipper.

tinged with pink ; juicy, vinous, well flavored ; 
freestone. Of value in market. June 25. 
Oldmixon Cling. Large ; oblong ; white, 
with bright red coloring ; good flavor, juicy. 
Ripens about July 25. 
Oldmixon Free. Like the cling, but is 
later and a perfect freestone. 
Picquet’s Late. Very large ; red, over a 
ground of yellow ; flesh yellow, rich, sweet, 
highly flavored ; freestone. August 25 to 
September 10. 
Sneed. The earliest. Originated near 
Memphis, Tenn., supposedly a seedling of 
Chinese Cling. Excellent shipper, ripens 
perfectly to the seed. Earlier than Alexan- 
A card from one of our customers in Houston, Texas, January 8, last, says: “Your Sneed 
Peach is all right for Texas. I have nothing else. I began marketing from TWO-YEAR-OLD 
TREES last year on May 14, and they were fine.”
