large, pale yellow, shaped a good deal like a 
lemon; of extra fine quality; tree very produc- 
tive. Ripens before Salway. 
Levy’s Late or Henrietta Cling. C. A magnifi- 
cent cling of large size; skin a deep yellow, a 
shade of rich brownish red in the sun; flesh deep 
yellow, firm, iuicy, sweet, half-melting, slightly 
vinous. Latest of all clings and highly esteemed

of excellent quality; a superb canning, shipping 
and drying Peach; tree a good grower and bearer. 
Worthy of extensive cultivation; ripens a few 
days after Muir. 
McDevitt’s Cling. C. Originated with Neal 
McDevitt, of Placer county, Cal. Very large, 
rich, golden yellow, becoming quite red when 
ripe; flesh yellow, firm and of superior flavor; 
excellent shipper. Last of August. 
McKevitt’s Cling. C. A California seedling in- 
troduced by A. McKevitt, Vaca Valley, Calif. 
White, flesh firm, rich, sugary and highly flav- 
ored, white to the pit, excellent for shipping and 
canning. Tree a remarkably strong grower and

size, skin yellow, with a dark red cheek, flesh 
deep yellow, juicy and rich, vinous flavor. Tree 
very hardy, healthy, vigorous and not affected by 
curl like Crawford’s Late. Ripens about one

Orange Cling. See Runyon’s Orange Cling. 
Perfection. F. 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 beautiful blush cheek, 
flesh is thick and very fine grained, yel- 
low, 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 
snipping and market variety. We can- 
not recommend this new peach too 
highly to our friends and patrons, and 
it should be largely planted. Ripens 
from September 10th to 15th. 
Philip’* Cling. C. Fine, large; yel- 
low; fleshfirm, clear yellow to the pit, 
which is very small. Preferred by can- 
ners to any other variety of cling. Its 
firmness, fine texture of flesh and late- 
ness, not ripening until September, 
when other clings are practically har- 
vested, makes a demand for this variety 
far beyond the supply. 
Prolific. (New.) F. Fruit large, attrac- 
tive’ firm; color yellow, crimson cheek, 
flesh yellow to pit, very firm, pit small. 
The tree is very productive, and one of the hardi- 
est peaches known. Sept. 
Runyon’s Orange Cling. C. Originated with Mr. 
Sol. Runyon, on the Sacramento River. The fruit 
is very large, yellow, with a dark crimson cheek; 
flesh golden yellow, rich and sugary, with a vinous 
flavor. Tree an immense bearer, and not subject 
to mildew like the common sort. A splendid 
fruit for shipping, canning or drying. Ripens 
early in August. 
Salway. F. Fruit large, roundish, deep yellow, 
with a rich, marbled, brownish red cheek, flesh 
yellow, firm, juicy, rich and sugary. A new Eng- 
lish variety. Promises highly as a late, showy, 
market sort. 
Seller’s. A variety of Orange Cling, of the larg- 
est size, raised by Mrs. Sellers, of Antioch. 
Skin, fine yellow, with a dark red cheek, flesh 
yellow, firm, very juicy and rich. A very desir- 
able sort for canning, ripening a few days after 
Runyon’s. 
Sneed. S. C. It is claimed for this peach that 
it is fully ten days earlier than the Alexander, of 
same size and appearance, but more yellow; the 
flesh is tender, juicy, melting and delicious; clings 
slightly to the pit. Said to be the first peach to 
ripen, which makes it a very desirable variety. 
Strawberry. F. Medium size; white, marbled 
with dark red; flesn white, red near the pit; juicy, 
with a rich delicious flavor. July. 
Susquehanna. F. A large, handsome variety, 
nearly globular; skin rich yellow, with beautiful 
red cheek; flesh yellow, sweet, juicy, with a rich 
vinous flavor. 
Triumph. S. C. Above medium; skin downy, 
dark orange-yellow, nearly covered with dark car- 
mine; flesh yellow half-way to the stone, where 
it changes to greenish white and adheres to the 
stone like Alexander; juicy, melting and slightly 
sup-acid; quality good. Maturity June 15. The 
Foster Peach.
