its firmness. Resemples Yellow St. John in form 
but earlier, larger and more highly colored. Rip- 
ens with Hale’s Early, and its rich color and ear- 
liness combined will make it one of the most pro-

Elberta. F. Introduced from Georgia. A cross 
between Crawford’s Early and Chinese Cling; 
very large; bright yellow, witn a beautifully mot- 
tled red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet; tree a 
uniform and regular bearer and strong grower. 
Fruit very showy and a perfect free stone. One 
of the best market varieties, often selling at 
double the quotations of other peaches. Ripens 
last of July. 
Everbearing. F. A remarkable peach, having 
the peculiarity of ripening its fruit successfully 
over a period of eight weeks. Creamy white, 
mottled and striped; flesh white, with red veins; 
juicy, rich and fine. 
Fitzgerald. F. An improved Early Crawford, 
being fully equal to it in size, quality and color. 
The tree commences bearing young, is productive 
and one of the hardiest. Fruit large, brilliant color, 
bright yellow, snffused with red; flesh deep yel- 
low, best qualiry. Early September. 
Foster. F. Originated in Medford, Mass. 
Large, deep orange-red, becoming very dark red 
on the sunny side; flesh yellow, very rich and 
juicy, with subacid flavor, ripening earlier than 
the Early Crawford and superior in many points, 
flesh is firmer, without so much red at the stone, 
which is smaller; one of the very best for drying, 
market or canning. 
Gillingham. F. Large yellow, resembling the 
Early Crawford in form and appearance, ripening 
a few days later; flavor excellent. Bears young 
and abundantly. A very promising new variety.
