Early Charlotte. F. An improved seed- 
ling from Early Crawford, originated at 
Salem, Oregon, in 1878, by Dickinson.

varieties fail; flesh yellow, melting and 
juicy, with a rich and excellent flavor. 
Freestone. Ripens ten days after Craw- 
ford’s Early. 
Early Imperial. F. Fruit large, deep 
yellow, with dark red cheek; flesh rich, 
juicy and very firm. A very highly color- 
ed peach and remarkable for its firm- 
ness. Resembles Yellow St. John in form 
but earlier, larger and more highly col- 
ored. Ripens with Hale’s Early.

for 1’s Early ami Chinese Cling; very 
large; bright yellow, with a beautiful 
mottled red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy, 
sweet; tree a uniform and regular bear-

having the peculiarity of ripening its 
fruit successfully over a period of eight

Crawford. Fruit large, brilliant color,
