PEACHES, continued 
Jessie Kerr. (Per.) A freestone, larger and 
earlier than Alexander, which it resembles in 
tree and fruit. Preferred to the latter by many 
orchardists. Adapted to the same sections as 
the Alexander. 
Jewel. (P.-to.) Medium to large, roundish 
oblong ; skin highly colored, very red on sunny 
side. Flesh yellowish white, red at stone, juicy, 
melting, sweet and of excellent quality ; free. 
Ripens about a fortnight earlier than Waldo or 
Peen-to. Does not overbear, as is apt to be 
the case .with Waldo. Good shipper. Tree 
very vigorous and healthy. On account of its 
extreme earliness, good size, fine appearance, 
and excellent quality, it is a very valuable 
market sort for Florida and subtropical and 
tropical latitudes. The most popular variety in 
Florida, where it is now planted to a much 
greater extent than any other one kind. 
Maggie. (P.-to.) Size medium, roundish 
oblong; skin yellowish white washed with 
carmine ; flesh fine-grained, sweet, juicy and 
melting ; sub-cling. Ripens about with the 
Peen-to. Very much like BidwelPs Early in ap¬ 
pearance, time of ripening and other qualities. 
Mamie Ross. (N. C.) A seedling of the 
Chinese 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. June 15. Popular through¬ 
out a wide region of Texas, where 
it is esteemed the finest early cling. 
Matthew’s Beauty. (N. C.) The 
fruit is of large size, shaped similar 
to Elberta, but a little longer ; skin 
golden yellow, streaked with red; 
flesh firm, yellow and of excellent 
flavor. Ripens two to three weeks 
later than Elberta. 
Onderdonk. (Sp.) Large; skin 
and flesh yellow ; very juicy and 
sweet; free. Last of July. Origi¬ 
nated in Texas. Possesses a valua¬ 
ble combination of quality, appear¬ 
ance and productiveness. A good 
mid-season variety. 
Oviedo. (Hon.) Medium to large, 
roundish oblong, with a short, 
recurved point ; highly colored ; flesh light, 
streaked with red, very firm ; good flavor ; free. 
Early in July. Seedling of Honey. 
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. June 20 to 30. Seed¬ 
ling of Honey. Succeeds well along the Gulf 
coast from Florida to southern Texas. 
Peen-to. (P.-to.) A very curiously formed 
Peach, resembling in shape a small, flat turnip, 
both ends being flattened, and the pit also par¬ 
taking of the same shape. The color of the 
Peach is a greenish white, beautifully washed 
with red in the sun, and when allowed to 
thoroughly ripen on the tree the fruit changes 
from its shade of light green to a most delicate 
waxen yellow. Flesh pale yellow, sweet, rich, 
juicy and of fine flavor, sometimes possessing 
a slight noyau tang, which is barely noticeable, 
however, when the trees are liberally fertilized 
and highly cultivated ; cling ; stone remarkably 
small. Ripens in this locality from May 20 to 
June 1. A favorite with many south Florida 
orchardists. This variety together with the 
seedlings which have originated from it are the 
most tropical in character of all varieties listed. 
Powers’ September. (Sp.) Fruit of medium 
size and good quality; flesh white, free. Sept. 
1 to 15. The tree is a good grower. A native 
variety of value on account of its lateness.
