tremely late Peach that ripens this far south.

variety. 
HALL’S YELLOW. (P.-to.) Large size, 
nearly round. Yellow washed with red; flesh 
yellow, red at stone, from which it parts freely. 
Quality excellent. Originated in Volusia county

appearance and flavor. Ripens middle to latter

pressed, with deep suture on one side, extending

JAPAN DWARF BLOOD. (O. B.) A blood 
freestone of good size and appearance and fair 
quality. Ripens earlier than Alexander. A dwarf¬ 
growing, stocky tree. It has fruited well in locali¬ 
ties of western Florida and southern Louisiana. 
JESSIE KERR. (Per.) A freestone larger and 
earlier than Alexander, which it resembles in tree 
and fruit. Preferred to the latter by many orchard- 
ists. Adapted to the same sections as the Alex¬ 
ander. 
JEWEL. (P.-to.) Description of fruit same 
as Waldo, of which it is a seedling. The fruit 
ripens, however, ten days to two weeks earlier than 
Waldo. A Peach as good as Waldo, as vigorous 
as Waldo, as late-blooming as Waldo, and ripen¬ 
ing its fruit ahead of Waldo, is certainly a desider¬ 
atum in the Peach culture of eastern and penin¬ 
sular Florida. Does not overbear to the same 
extent that Waldo does. Tree of somewhat wil¬ 
lowy growth; very vigorous. We have received 
flattering comments on this variety from Florida to 
coastwise Texas. 
LA MAGNIFIQUE. (Sp.) Large, roundish 
oblong; skin yellowish white, washed with red; 
flesh firm, yellowish white, rich, sprightly, vinous, 
subacid; quality best; cling. August 1 to 10. 
LA REINE. (Sp.) Large, round, slightly 
oblong; skin yellowish white, washed with deep 
red; flesh white, very red at the stone, firm, juicy, 
rich, delicious; cling. July 20 to 25. 
MAGGIE. (P.-to.) Size medium, roundish 
oblong; skin yellowish white, washed with car¬ 
mine; flesh fine-grained, sweet, juicy and melting; 
sub-cling. Ripens about with the Peen-to. Very 
much like Bidwell’s Early in appearance, 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 very prolific 
bearer. June 15. Popular throughout a w-ide 
region in Texas, where it is esteemed the finest 
early cling. 
MATTHEWS’ BEAUTY. (N. C.) This va¬ 
riety promises to be an acquisition for all sections 
where the Elberta succeeds. It is supposed to be 
a cross between Elberta and Smock. 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. 
MOUNTAIN ROSE. fPer.) Large, nearly
