PEACHES, continued 
the best varieties of native origin, well worthy 
of a place in every southern Peach orchard. 
Valuable for cooking and canning. 
Waddell. (N. C.) Fruit medi um to large, 
oblong ; skin rich creamy white, nearly covered 
with red; flesh white, firm, rich and sweet; 
freestone. Very prolific. Ripens June i to io. 
Waldo. (P.-to.) Medium size, roundish, 
oblong; skin highly colored, varying from light 
salmon to dark red on side next the sun ; flesh 
yellowish white, red at the stone, juicy, melt¬ 
ing, sweet; of good quality ; free. Ripens with 
the Peen-to. A seedling of Peen-to, supposed 
to be crossed with Honey. Waldo is not only 
a free and regular bearer, but it is also a high- 
colored, attractive fruit. The quality of the 
fruit is far superior to the Alexander and other 
early Peaches of parallel and higher latitudes, 
and, being a freestone, is preferred in market. 
In flavor it has the good qualities of the Peen- 
to varieties, without a trace of the bitter tang 
many of the latter are apt to have under ordi¬ 
nary conditions. This valuable Peach is not 
restricted to this district in its adaptability; it 
stands with the first and best of the very early 
sorts southward throughout the state. In the 
Gulf-coast section of Texas and Lower Louisi¬ 
ana it gives promise of being one of the most 
valuable and desirable varieties, and has given 
good results in the West Indian Islands. 
PLUMS 
In the extreme South, particularly in central and south Florida, southern Texas, and in 
fact all along the Gulf coast, the pure-bred Japanese varieties have not been good bearers, con¬ 
sequently were not generally profitable. But cross-bred varieties — Japanese varieties crossed 
with native varieties — have proven heavy annual bearers. These cross-bred varieties have made 
commercial Plum-growing not only possible, but worthy the attention of fruit-growers even 
in south Florida and northern Mexico. Of these cross-bred Plums, we can heartily recommend 
Excelsior, Miller and Terrell. These are excellent kinds and heavy bearers.

1-year, medium size, 3 to 4 feet . . . . 
1-year, standard size, 4 to 6 feet. 
1-year, extra size, 6 feet tip. 
Abundance. Medium to large; round, with 
pointed apex ; skin greenish yellow ground, 
overlaid with dull purplish carmine; flesh light 
greenish yellow, juicy and sweet, with a touch 
of subacid and slight apricot flavor ; pit small; 
cling; quality best. Strong-growing, upright, 
prolific. This is one of the most popular and 
profitable early sorts in the Plum-growing sec¬ 
tions of the North, and over a wide area in the 
Lower South. 
Bartlett. (New.) We obtained this variety 
direct from Mr. Burbank. He describes it as 
follows : “ Bartlett is the king for flavor; it out- 
Bartletts the Bartlett pear in exquisitely per¬ 
fumed flesh; bears when two years old.” 
Burbank. The fruit is usually from 5 to 5K 
inches in circumference, varying less in size 
than the other Japanese Plums; it is nearly

globular ; clear cherry-red, sometimes showing 
yellow dots, or even marbled with a thin lilac 
bloom ; flesh deep yellow, firm and meaty, rich 
and sugary, with a peculiar and very agreeable 
flavor; cling. Tree unusually vigorous, with 
strong, upright shoots and large, rather broad 
leaves. A very popular variety both North 
and South. 
Chabot. Fruit large, about 2 inches in di¬ 
ameter, oblong-conical; skin pink-red, with 
many very fine gold dots; flesh yellow, very 
solid, rather acid ; quality very good ; cling. 
Excelsior. This variety, originated by our¬ 
selves in 1887 and first offered to the public in 
the winter of 1891-92, is worthy of extended 
notice. It originated from Kelsey seed, but 
shows decided evidence of being crossed with 
some variety of the Chickasaw type. The tree
