Carman. The best we considei- none too good ; hence, at a large cost, we 
secured of the originators, J. and J. W. Stubenrauch, of Mexia, Texas, this great 
Texas seedling Teach. Think of an Klbcrta in size, appearance and quality, ripening 
in season with Karly Rivers, or I2 days after Alexander. Practically frost, rot and 
curculio proof ; vigorous, prolific, of fine appearance and flavor, and with ability to 
carry in good order from Texas to New York. Such is Carman. 
The Champion. Fruit large, beautiful in appearance ; flavor delicious, sweet, 
rich and juicy ; skin creamy white, with red cheek ; freestone. The peculiarity of 
this great acquisition is its hardiness. It stood a temperature of i8° below zero in the 
winter of 1887-8, and produced an abundant crop the following season ; and again in 
1890 produced a full crop, when the Peach crop was a nniversal failure. August 15. 
Crawford’s Early. This be.autiful yellow Peach is highly esteemed for market 
purposes. Fruit verj' large, oblong ; skin yellow, with fine red cheek ; flesh yellow, 
juicy, .sweet and excellent; productive ; free. July i. 
Crawford’s Late. Fruit of the largest size ; skin yellow, or greenish yellow, 
with dull red cheek ; flesh yellow ; productive ; one of the best ; free. Late August 
and September. 
Crosby. Medium size, roundish, with distinct seam on blossom end ; skin light 
golden yellow and very downy ; flesh bright yellow and rather firm. Ripens between 
Rarly and Late Crawford. Tree of rather dwarfish habit. Has won special favor on 
account of great hardiness. A recent introduction that has attracted very wide atten- 
tion on account of its di.sposition to produce good crops in “off years,” when other 
varieties usually fail.
