Peen-to Pcacli. (See page 9.) 
Powers’ September. Origin, native seedling. 
Tree is a good grower aad an annual and abundant 
bearer. Fruit good size, handsome, and of excellent 
quality ; freestone. Ripens September 1 to 15. 
Red Ceylon. Originated in Florida, from seed 
obtained in Ceylon. The tree is a strong grower, 
and a heavy and annual bearer ; fruit of good size ; 
skin of a dull green color ; flesh blood-red to the stone, 
from which it separates freely. The quality of this 
Peach is not first-class to eat out of hand, as it is too 
acid for most tastes. It is, however, a most excellent 
fruit for cooking, being possessed of a peculiar flavor, 
which makes this fruit, when cooked, strongly resem¬ 
ble prunelles. Owing to its tropical origin, this Peach 
should succeed in the extreme South. Ripens in June.

ty* Florida, and has been advertised as a remarkably 
large, fine, productive freestone. Ripens in July.

Maggie, which it resembles in appearance and de¬ 
scription. A most excellent variety. 
THE BEST STOCK FOR THE PEACH . 
. Florida, Texas and the coast belt, as elsewhere, the best stock, the only successful stock, for the 
Peach is the Peach. Our trees are all upon Peach stocks, raised by ourselves from Florida ?iative seed, and 
•every tree offered is, therefore, home-grown , both root and to-p. 
The Peach on the Marianna. The Marianna plum is the best stock we have for plums. When first 
introduced there was a furore over it as a stock for the Peach. It was tried by many orchardists, ourselves 
among the number, but everywhere proved a complete failure. The Peach on this stock is absolutely worth- 
ess , many die in the nursery the first year, and after being set in the orchard the rest soon succumb. G. 
Onderdonk, of Southern Texas, says : “Marianna will not do as a stock for Peaches ; I have tested the dif¬ 
ferent types with the same result ” Stark Bros., of Missouri, say : “Our experiments show conclusively that 
the Marianna is not suited as a stock for the Peach.” Referring to his extensive experiments in Maryland, 
Delaware and Georgia, Prof. Erwin F. Smith, the Peach expert of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 
says . My experiments, during the last four years have demonstrated beyond question the worthlessness of 
Marianna stock for Peaches. We have referred to this at length, because some advocates of the Peach on 
t le Marianna are still found. Some assert, that whatever the result elsewhere, it is the best Peach stock for 
South Florida, while, as a matter of fact, in no section does it give out quicker than in South Florida.
