Peaches 
First-class trees, 4 to 6 feet, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100 
Don’t fool your money away buying a little puny tree because it is cheap. Why 
is it cheap? Because those who know their business will not buy it, and it is left on 
the bargain counter. Force it into the brush heap, where it belongs. The following 
is a list of good Peaches, and nothing but good ones; all freestone. Ripening in 
order named. 
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. 
Fitzgerald. Of Canadian origin. Said to be large in size, of magnificent quality, 
very early, a splendid shipper, exceedingly hardy and productive, and a perfect free- 
stone. Four Peaches weighed two pounds. Not fruited here yet. 
Early Crawford. Very large, yellow; good quality. A very popular Peach. 
Reeves’ Favorite. A very large yellow Peach of finest quality. Until the intro- 
duction of Elberta, has been our most profitable yellow variety. 
Foster. An extra large yellow variety, but has been inclined to rot with us, and 
very slightly inclined to cling. 
Oldmixon. Large, white with blush cheek. Extremely productive, popular and 
profitable. 
Elberta. This extremely large, light yellow Peach has proved a money-maker 
wherever planted. Of fair quality, and as a keeper it has no equal, making it very 
popular with the marketmen. Very hardy and productive. 
Bequett Free. Large; green- 
ish white, clouded with red. 
A good market Peach. 
Wheatland. Large; yellow, 
blushed with red. A handsome 
and desirable Peach. 
Chair’s Choice. Large, yel- 
low; similar to late Crawford; 
thought by some to be hardier 
in bud. 
Late Crawford. Very large; 
skin greenish yellow, with dull 
red cheek; flesh yellow. One 
of the best and most popular. 
Stump. Large, greenish 
white with red cheek; of high 
flavor, productive, popular and 
profitable. 
Stephen’s Rareripe, Large; 
white, shaded with red; flesh 
white, vinous and of high 
quality. Hardy. 
Fox Seedling. A valuable 
late Peach; of good size and 
quality, and an excellent ship- 
per.
