Florida Crawford. This is a chance Florida 
seedling, which has been in heavy bearing in this 
county for many years, and which, from the 
similarity of the fruit to the well-known Late 
Crawford of more northern fame, we have named 
as above. The difference, however, between the 
the Florida Crawford and the Late Crawford is 
very great in this respect, that while the former 
variety has borne continually heavy crops in this 
vicinity for many years, and is considered in this 
section of the state as one of the very finest 
Peaches grown, the true Late Crawford, as 
brought here from the North, does not succeed 
at all. The similarity between the two varities 
lies wholly in the fruit; the growth, character 
and adaptability of the trees are entirely distinct. 
The tree is a heavy and uniform bearer. Fruit 
very large, roundish oblong; suture distinct but 
shallow ; skin yellow, with red cheek ; flesh yel¬ 
low, juicy, melting, with rich, vinuous flavor 
freestone. Quality best. Ripens July 15 to 25.
