Deciduous Fruits 
Mamie Ross. (N. C.) A seedling of the Chi¬ 
nese Cling, which it much resembles. Fruit 
almost as large as the Chinese Cling; white, 
nearly covered with delicate carmine; flesh 
white, juicy and of good quality. A regular and 
prolific bearer. Popular throughout Texas, 
where it is esteemed the finest early cling. 
June 15. 
Matthews’ Beauty. (N. C.) The fruit is of 
large size, shaped similar to Klbcrta, but a little 
longer; skin golden yellow, streaked with red; 
flesh firm, yellow and of excellent flavor. Ri¬ 
pens two or three weeks later than Elberta. 
Mayflower. (Per.) Large; well colored; red 
all over; of fine quality; cling. A very promis¬ 
ing variety. Its earliness, high color and excel¬ 
lent quality are strong points in its favor. Ripens 
four or five days earlier than Sneed. 
Onderdonk. (Sp.) Large; skin and flesh 
yellow; very juicy and sweet. Free. Originated 
in Texas. Possesses a valuable combination of 
quality, appearance and productiveness. A good 
midseason variety. Last of J uly. 
Pallas. (Hon.) Good size, nearly round; 
deep red, dotted with salmon and tipped with 
light yellow at the base and apex; flesh white, 
fine-grained, melting, with a rich vinous aroma; 
quality excellent; free. Seedling of Honey. 
Succeeds well along the Gulf coast from Florida 
to southern Texas. June 20 to 30. 
Peen-to. (P.-to.) A curiously formed Peach, 
flattened at both ends, with pit of the same 
shape; color greenish white, washed with red 
on exposed parts; flesh light yellow, sweet, rich, 
juicy, of good flavor, with a slight bitter-almond 
flavor; cling, with very small pit. Succeeds 
well in southern Florida. This variety and its 
seedlings are among the most tropical varieties 
of Peaches. Ripens in northern Florida May 20 
to Junc 3. 
Powers’ September. (Sp.) Fruit of medium 
size and good quality; flesh white, free. The 
tree is a good grower. A native variety of value 
on account of its lateness. Sept. 1 to 15. 
Red Ceylon. ( 0 . B.) A good-sized fruit of 
dull green color; flesh blood-red to the stone, 
from which it separates freely. It is not first- 
class to eat out of hand, as it is too acid to suit 
most tastes, but it is a most excellent fruit for 
cooking, being possessed of a peculiar flavor 
when cooked, suggesting prunellcs. This Peach 
is as unique in its way as the Peen-to and of an 
even more semi-tropical character. Tree a 
heavy and annual bearer in south Florida, and 
fruits well in Cuba. 
Sneed. (N. C.) Very early, averaging eight 
to ten days earlier than Alexander. Fruit of 
medium size, somewhat oval in shape; color 
creamy white, with rich, red blush on sunny 
side; ripens evenly to the pit; flesh white, very 
free and juicy; semi-cling. Of fine quality and 
not subject to rot, as are so many of the early 
varieties. A seedling of the Chinese cling, it 
has the vigor of its parents in tree growth and 
fruit-buds.
