ADMIRAL DEWEY—Medium size, yellow peach; 
good bearer, very early and good. July. 
CROSBY—Medium size; flesh yellow and fine 
quality; heaver bearer, very hardy. September. 
EARLY ELBERTA—Resembles the Elberta ex¬ 
cept that it ripens about a week earlier and is

commercial peach; very large, is handsome, bright 
yellow; flesh juicy and so firm that it stands ship¬ 
ping well, hardy and productive. September 1st

EARLY CRAWFORD—Much like late Crawford 
in size and color; very good quality; ripens about 
September 1. 
GARY—This is a chance seedling growing on the 
farm of G. E. Greenisen of Salem, Ohio. It has 
been producing crops regularly for the past sev¬ 
eral years, and the fruit is superior to anything 
else in the peach line that we have ever seen. Of 
immense size, averaging about one-half larger 
than Elberta, and slightly more elongated in 
shape, skin is yellow covered with bright red, caus¬ 
ing it to make a most attractive appearance both 
while on the tree and in, the market basket. Flesh 
yellow, firm and of excellent quality, and ripens 
about a week later than Elberta. Tree is yet hardy 
and free from disease, having received no extra 
care, and all indications are that it surpasses any 
other known variety in size, color and quality and 
will equal the best in productiveness.
