PEACHES. 
Apricot— (Apricot Peach) Origin supposed to be Northern Indiana. Medium 
sized; deep golden yellow, with a red cheek and peculiar apricot flavor; has a 
very small pit, and is of great value. 
Champion — Originated in Illinois, and by many placed at the head of the list for 
size, quality and hardiness. Skin creamy white, with a red cheek; sweet, rich 
and juicy; perfect free stone. Ripens early in August. 
Crosbey— (Excelsior, &c.)— Originated in Massachusetts; has low, spreading, wil- 
lowy growth, and said to be hardy in wood growth and bud. Fruit medium in 
size, rich orange yellow, with carmine on sunny side; flesh yellow, rich and 
sweet; a perfect free-stone. 
Flberta— Originated in Georgia. Tree a good grower and very productive; claimed 
to be very hardy in bud. Size large; flesh yellow and rich, very juicy. Ripens 
between Early and Late Crawford. 
Fitzgerald— A seedling found at Oakville, Ontario, where it stands the winters per- 
fectly, and for the past four" years has cropped regularly. Oakville is situated 
. outside of the peach-growing district, and any other varieties will not succeed 
there. It is undoubtedly very hardy, and the fruit averages larger than any vari- 
ety we know of. Quality first-class, freestone, and we recommend it with entire 
confidence. 
Greensboro— The largest and most beautifully colored of all the early peaches. Of 
good quality; juicy; a freestone, but adheres slightly; ripens perfectly to the seed, 
and with the Alexander, which makes it of great value as a market peach. Orig- 
inated by W. G. Balsley, Greenboro, N. C. 
Triumph— This new extra early yellow peach makes a very strong growth, blooms 
late, and is a sure and abundant bearer. Fruit of large size, with small pit; skin 
yellow, nearly covered with red; flesh bright yellow and ripens up evenly clear 
to the pit, not thoroughly free, yet when fully ripe separates quite readily from 
the stone. 
PLUMS. 
Burbank— Has very large and peculiar foliage. Native of Japan. Introduced by 
Luther Burbank. Fruit above medium size; nearly round, with distinct suture; 
highly colored, cherry red. Quality very fine— and is a promising variety. 
Fmpire— This magnificent plum is of the very best quality. The tree is a strong 
grower and among the hardiest of all plum trees. It is a prolific bearer, and on 
account of its productiveness and good quality it is one of the greatest money- 
getters in the fruit line. Ripens early part of September. 
Grand Duke -One of the largest and handsomest European varieties; well tested 
here and is very fine; flesh yellow; free-stone. 
Hawkeye— A native American variety, very large, handsome foliage; hardy, pro- 
ductive, and desirable for the West. Fruit medium sized, nearly round, highly 
colored, and overspread with a light bloom. 
Prince of Wales— A fine European variety, introduced here some years since, and 
largely grown. Tree hardy and a great bearer; fruit medium sized; nearly round, 
with a distinct suture; deep purplish red; free-stone.
