Deciduous Fruits 
Admiral Dewey. (Per.) Fruit of good size; 
skin deep orange-yellow, with crimson check; 
flesh clear yellow to the stone, juicy, melting, 
vinous; quality very good. June i to io. 
Alexander. (Per.) Large; highly colored; 
flesh greenish white, juicy, vinous, of fair quality; 
cling. One of the earliest of the Persian type. 
About June i. 
Angel. (P.-to.) Large, rounded, slightly 
pointed; color yellow, washed with red, very 
handsome; flesh white, sweet, melting, juicy, 
subacid, of exquisite flavor, entirely lacking in 
bitter-almond flavor; freestone. The tree bears 
while young, and is very prolific. It blooms a 
month later than Peen-to, thus escaping injury 
from frost in many sections. June 20 to 30. 
Belle of Georgia. (N. C.) Very large; skin 
white, with red cheek; flesh white, firm and of 
excellent flavor; fruit uniformly large and 
showy; free. Rapid grower; prolific. July 1 to 15. 
Bidwell’s Early. (P.-to.) A seedling of the 
Peen-to. Shape roundish oblong, with short, 
recurved point; size medium; skin creamy 
white, washed with carmine; flesh fine grained, 
melting, juicy and sweet, with slight noyau fla¬ 
vor; clingstone. Matures about the same time 
as Peen-to, but continues during a longer period. 
BidwelPs Late. (P.-to.) Seedling of Peen-to, 
originated at Orlando, Fla.; best of the “Bid- 
well” varieties. Nearly round; large; yellowish 
white; flesh fine grained, sweet, juicy; cling. 
About three weeks later than Peen-to. Quality 
excellent. This has proved a sure bearer farther 
north in Florida than most other varieties of 
the same origin, and is one of the most desirable.

mottled in shades of deep purple; flesh purple, 
with deeper purple veins; rich subacid; cling; 
very fine. Of decided Indian type. July 15 to 25.

itable market variety. June 10 to 20.

which it resembles, but larger and about ten 
days later. Fruit medium size, round, slightly 
oblong with a recurved point; pale yellow,

gorous grower and heavy bearer. June 25 to July 5.

with red, sometimes almost solid red; very juicy,
