Fitzgerald. 
PEACHES, continued. 
Elberta. Very large and well colored ; all things considered, the finest yellow 
freestone in cultivation ; no one can go amiss by planting it. Fruit perfectly free 
from rot ; one of the most successful shipping varieties. August 20. 
Family Favorite. Free ; seedling of Chinese Cling, of better color ; clear 
waxen complexion, with blush ; large, firm, valuable for shipping, canning or dry- 
ing ; prolific. Late July. 
Fitzgerald. Originated on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and in that cold 
region the original tree has borne five successive crops. Large orchards are being 
planted in Camida ; if it succeeds as well in other sections it will prove one of the 
most valuable varieties ever produced. One of the best posted growers in Michigan 
says of it: “ Fitzgerald showed fruit on one-year-old trees. I am most favorably 
impressed with it ; as large or larger than Crawford’s Early, with the smallest pit I 
ever saw and the most brilliant color. I am going to set 1,000 trees in the spring. It 
is of Crawford type and color, grows similar to it, and ripens between Early and Late 
Crawford. The flesh is of a rich, deep yellow, and very high character. Certainly a 
very fine thing ; went through last winter with a smaller percentage of dead buds 
than anything else in my orchard, standing alongside of Crosby.” 
Greensboro. The largest and most beautifully colored of all the early varieties. 
Double the size of Alexander, ripening at same time. Parts clear from seed when 
fuUy ripe. Flesh white, juicy and good. 
Globe. An improvement on Crawford’s Late. Fruit large, globular, rich golden 
yellow, with a red blush ; flesh yellow, juicy. August. 
Foster. Large ; deep orange-red, becoming very dark red on the sunny side ; 
flesh yellow, very rich and juicy, with subacid flavor ; earlier than Early Crawford ; 
very handsome. The originater says that the fruit always sells at a fancy price. 
Heath Cling. Downing calls this Peach “The most successful and delicious of 
all late clingstones. ” Tree vigorous and moderately productive ; fruit very large, 
and narrowing to both ends ; skin downy, cream colored, white with faint blush in 
the sun ; flesh greenish white, very tender and melting, juicy, with the richest, high- 
est flavor ; {juality very best. September.

a Compass.
