VARIETIES OF PEACHES DESCRIBED 
For adaptability to any given section, consult lists printed on pages 13 and 14. 
The abbreviations in parentheses below, following the names of varieties, indicate the race to 
which they belong. I hus, (Sp.) means that the variety belongs to the Spanish race; (Per.)* to 
the Persian race; (N. C.), Northern Chinese; (Hon.), Honey; (P.-to), Peen-to; (O. B.), Ori¬ 
ental Bloods. The dates given for the usual time of ripening are based on northern Florida. 
Admiral Dewey. (Per.) Fruit of good size ; 
skin deep orange-yellow, with crimson cheek ; 
flesh clear yellow to the stone, juicy, melting, 
vinous; quality very good. June 1 to 10. 
Alexander. (Per.) Large; highly colored; 
flesh greenish white, juicy, vinous, of fair qual¬ 
ity ; cling. One of the earliest of the Persian 
type. About June 1. 
Angel. (P.-to.) Large, roundish, slightly 
pointed; skin yellow, highly washed with red ; 
exceedingly handsome; the flesh is white, melt¬ 
ing, juicy, mild subacid, of exquisite flavor, and 
entirely devoid of the bitter almond or noyau 
flavor characteristic of the parent Peen-to and 
most of its seedlings; perfect freestone. June 
20 to 30. The trees come into bearing while 
very young,and are exceedingly prolific. Blooms 
a month later than Peen-to, thus obviating 
danger from frosts in many sections. Very 
valuable. 
Beauty’s Blush. (N. C.) Large size,slightly 
pointed; skin creamy white, washed with red 
on sunny side; flesh creamy white, with a little 
red at pit; melting and juicy; slightly subacid, 
very fine flavor. Free. Ripens June 15 to 30.

white, with red cheek ; flesh white, firm and of 
excellent flavor; fruit uniformly large and 
showy; free. Rapid grower,prolific. July 1 to 15.

Peen-to. Shape roundish oblong, with short, 
recurved point; size medium; skin creamy 
white, washed with carmine ; flesh fine-grained, 
melting, juicy and sweet, with slight noyau fla¬ 
vor ; clingstone. Matures about the same time 
as Peen-to, but continues during a longer 
period, and is one of the most satisfactory 
Peaches to grow. 
Bidwell’s Late. (P.-to.) A seedling of Peen- 
to, originated at Orlando, Fla., and the best of 
the “ Bidwell ” varieties. Shape nearly round ; 
size large; color yellowish white; flesh fine¬ 
grained, sweet and juicy; clingstone. Matures

the same origin.
