Deciduous Fruits 
PEACHES, continued 
Red Ceylon. (O. 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 prunelles. Ripens in 
June. 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. 
iuber Peaches 
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 parent in tree growth and 
fruit-buds. 
Suber. (P.-to.) Seedling of the Peen-to, 
originated at Lake Helen in southern Volusia 
county. It has been quite extensively grown 
for shipment by the growers of Lake Helen, 
by whom it is highly esteemed. Its description 
is not materially different from Bidwell’s Early, 
except that it is larger, firmer and a little more 
acid than the latter. The tree is a vigorous 
grower and a satisfactory bearer, and the fruit 
brings a high price in market. 
Taber. (Hon.) Large, roundish, oblong, 
pointed ; skin white, overspread with red ; flesh 
white, streaked with red ; firm, very juicy, rich 
subacid; of fine quality; cling. June 15 to 25. 
A seedling of Honey, a heavy bearer, 
and one of the best varieties that we 
have originated. Valuable for canning. 
Thurber. (N. C.) Large to very 
large; skin white with light crimson 
mottlings ; flesh juicy, vinous and of 
delicate aroma; texture exceedingly 
fine; free. Middle of July. Resem¬ 
bles Chinese Cling in size and color. 
One of the best of its class. 
Triana. (Hon.) Medium to large, 
roundish oblong, slightly pointed ; 
skin white, overspread with red ; 
flesh w'hitc, with red markings, rich, 
juicy, very sweet and of remarkably 
fine flavor; freestone. Ripens June 25 
to July 5. We consider this variety, 
originated and introduced by our¬ 
selves several years ago, as one of the 
very best of the numerous good varie¬ 
ties originated from the Honey. 
Triumph. (Per.) Ripens with 
Alexander, blooms late. The tree 
makes a strong growth, bears young, 
and yields abundantly. The fruit is of 
large size, with very small pit. Skin 
yellow, nearly covered with red, dark 
crimson in the sun. Flesh bright yellow, free 
when fully ripe, and of excellent flavor. 
Victor. (N. C. and Sp.) Fruit medium to 
large, of pleasant subacid flavor; semi-cling. 
May 8 to 16. The tree is a vigorous, compact 
grower, and a heavy annual bearer. The or¬ 
iginator claims that it is uniformly ten days 
earlier than Sneed, which makes it undoubtedly 
the earliest variety in existence. Texas origin. 
Victoria. (Sp.) Very large, nearly round; 
skin yellow ; flesh yellow, juicy, sw'eet and of 
excellent flavor; free. August 5 to 10. One of
