PEACHES 
ONDERDONK. (Sp.) Large; skin and flesh 
yellow; very juicy and sweet; free. Last of July. 
Originated in Texas. Possesses a valuable combi¬ 
nation of quality, appearance and productiveness. 
A good mid-season variety. 
OVIEDO. (Hon.) Medium to large, roundish 
oblong, with 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. Seedling 
of Honey. 
PEEN-TO. (P.-to.) A very curiously formed 
Peach, resembling in shape a small, flat turnip, 
both ends being flattened, and the pit also partak¬ 
ing 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 perceptible, 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 that have originated from it, 
are the most tropical in character of all the varie¬ 
ties listed. 
POWERS’SEPTEMBER. (Sp.) Fruit of me¬ 
dium size and good quality, flesh white; free. 
September 1 to 15. The tree is a good grower. A 
native variety, of value on account of its lateness. 
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 for most tastes, 
but it is a most excellent fruit for cooking, being 
possessed of a peculiar flavor when cooked, sug¬ 
gesting 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. 
REEVES’ MAMMOTH. (Sp.) Originated in 
Orange county, Florida. A remarkably large, 
fine freestone. Early in August. 
SNEED. (N. C.) Very early, averaging eight 
to ten days earlier than Alexander. Fruit of me¬ 
dium 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 others 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.) The attention of south 
Florida Peach planters is especially called to this 
variety, offered to the public for the first time in 
1896-97. Suber is a 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 ma¬ 
terially 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 satis¬ 
factory 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. 
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. Resembles 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 white, with red markings, rich, 
juicy, very sweet and of remarkably fine flavor; 
freestone. Ripens June 25 to July 5. We con¬ 
sider this variety, originated and introduced by 
ourselves several years ago, as one of the very best 
of the numerous good varieties that have origi¬ 
nated from the Honey. 
TRIUMPH. (Per.) Ripens with Alexander, 
blooms late. The tree makes a very 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.) In 1897 this extra¬ 
ordinarily early new variety ripened its whole crop 
of fruit between May 8 and 16, on the originator’s 
grounds, in Smith county, Texas. Fruit medium 
to large, of pleasant subacid flavor; semi-cling. 
The tree is a vigorous, compact grower and a 
heavy annual bearer. The originator claims that 
it is uniformly ten days earlier than Sneed, which 
makes it undoubtedly the earliest variety in ex¬ 
istence. Well worthy of a trial in the South. 
VICTORIA. (Sp.) Very large, nearly round ; 
skin yellow ; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet, and of ex¬ 
cellent flavor; free. August 5 to 10. One of the 
best varieties of native origin, well worthy of a 
place in every southern Peach orchard.
