I. Ripening here from May 20 to June 10. 
Victor. My young trees bore their second crop this season and I am 
highly pleased with the fruit, which is round in shape, and of beautiful color. 
Flesh is white, crisp and very juicy. 
Sneed, ripe 10 days before Alexander, of Chinese type. Tree of vigorous 
growth and drooping habit. 
Greensboro (new), earlier and larger than Alexander, fine flavor and 
attractive appearance. 
Dwarf Japan Blood, Tree of dwarf habit, surest bearer of all the early 
peaches. Fruit is large, pointed, red cheek and end, and sometimes blood- 
red flesh. 
Alexander, good quality, high color, flesh greenish white. Best bearing 
May peach. 
Jessie Kerr, originated from seed of Hale’s Early; about the size of and 
season with Alexander, bears well. 
Triumph “The earliest yellow peach in the world.” A perfect yellow 
free-stone, of excellent quality. Ripens after Alexander. A good keeper, 
very prolific. Two-year-old trees bore '/z bushel each. 
Carman, (new), the best Texas Seedling Peach, size very large and of 
finest flavor, ripening after Alexander, vigorous, prolific. 
Bokara, the hardiest peach known. It is of fine quality and a good 
bearer. Does remarkably well here. 
Honey, the sweetest of all peaches we have and about the best bearer. 
Late frosts have never killed the young fruit here. Color is attractive and 
it always sells easily. Honey is about the best peach for general planting we 
have. 
II. Ripening June 5 to 20. 
Early Rivers, large, light straw color, with a pink cheek; fleshy, juicy 
and melting, wth a rich flavor. One of the beautiful early peaches. Free- 
stone. 
Southern Early, this is the largest of all early peaches, good quality, 
verj’^ prolific, sweet and juicy. 
Pearson, similar to Mamie Rose, but as large as Chinese Cling. A per- 
fect freestone, ripe before Mamie Rose. It is a hardy, prolific and a very 
valuable new peach. 
June Rose, a large peach with a red cheek and white flesh. Very juicy 
and weU flavored. Tree latest bloomer.
