Everbearing. Of this most remarkable 
Peach we have secured stock from Mr. 
PEACHES.— Continued. 
P. J. Berckmans, of Georgia, one of the 
highest authorities on pomology in 
America. This stock we will propagate 
and offer to our customers, feeling as- 
sured that Mr. Berckmans has, as he 
states, offered it to the public only after 
being convinced of its merits. He 
claims that the first ripening begins 
about July 1, and that successive crops 
are produced until September 15. Fruit 
in all stages of development, ripe and 
half grown, may be seen upon the tree 
at one time. As the tree blossoms during 
a long time, a complete failure of fruit 
has never happened since the original 
tree began to bear eight years ago. The 
frjiit is creamy white, mottled and strip- 
ed with light purple and pink veins; 
oblong, tapering, of good quality; free- 
stone of the Indian type. The first rip- 
enings are of good size, becoming smal- 
ler towards the close of the season. In- 
valuable for family use or small gar- 
dens.
