A few of the hardiest varieties of good quality, most reliable for 
New England, ripening in the order named. All freestones except 
Sneed, Alexander 
and Hynes’ Sur- 
prise. 
Sneed. The 
earliest Peach to 
ripen in Connec- 
ticut — the only 
claim it has on 
propagators. 
Alexander. As 
handsome as a 
picture. Occa- 
sionally softens 
below the skin 
before rotting. 
Caught at this 
time, it is good to 
eat. White, wholly 
overlaid with red, 
if not shaded. 
Early Rivers. 
White with pink 
cheek. The be- 
ginning of satis- Carman Peach. 
factory eating in northern Peaches. 
Triumph. Variable in size, homely in color, and as good to eat 
as it is homely to look at. 
Hynes' Surprise. When we have this Peach it is delicious, of 
good size, and handsome. White, nearly overlaid with red. Badly 
subject to rot. 
Carman. As large as Mountain Rose and ten days earlier. Hardy, 
productive, of good quality, a good shipper. White, with rosy 
cheek. The best recent introduction among Peaches which we 
have fruited. 
Mountain Rose. Of finest quality ; large, white with red cheek ; 
productive and very popular in market. 
Champion. Similar to Oldmixon, but two weeks earlier ; more 
inclined to rot and slightly inclined to cling. 
Mass., April 4 , 1900. 
Gentlemen : Please send enclosed list ol stock when season is suitable. The 
stock bought of you last spring was very satisfactory. The Carman Peaches 
were the finest stock I ever saw. Sorry my grounds are so nearly full. 
Yours truly, L. T. Hadley.
