POWERS’ SEPTEMBER. (Sp.) Fruit of 
medium size and of good quality, flesh white; free. 
September i to 15. The tree is a good grower. A 
native variety, of value on account of its lateness. 
PURPLE-LEAVED. (Sp.) Not recommended 
for its fruit, but desirable as an ornamental on ac¬ 
count of its handsome purple foliage. 
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, 
productive freestone. Early in August. 
SANGMEL. (Hon.) Large, roundish oblong, 
pointed; skin white, overspread with red; flesh 
white, streaked with red, firm, juicy, sweet and 
high-flavored; cling. June 20 to 30. 
SNEED. (N. C.) Very early, averaging 8 to 
10 days earlier than Alexander. Fruit of medium 
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 seed¬ 
ling 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 of the numerous 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 
15 ] 
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, vecy 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 originated 
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 ex¬ 
traordinarily early new variety ripened its whole 
crop of fruit between May 8 and 16, on the origi¬ 
nator’s grounds, in Smith county, Texas. Fruit 
medium to large, of pleasant subacid flavor; semi- 
cling. 'Lhe 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 existence. Well worthy of trial in the 
South. 
VICTORIA. (Sp.) Very large; nearly round; 
skin yellow; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet and of 
excellent flavor; free. August 5 to 10. One of 
the best varieties of native origin, well worthy of 
a place in every southern Peach orchard. 
WADDELL. (N. C.) Fruit medium to large, 
oblong; skin rich creamy white, nearly covered 
with red; flesh white, firm, rich and sweet; free¬ 
stone. Very prolific. Ripens June 1 to 10. 
WALDO. (P.-to.) Medium size; roundish 
oblong; skin highly colored, varying from light 
salmon to dark red on side next the sun; flesh 
yellowish white, red at the stone, juicy, melting, 
sweet; of good quality; free. Ripens with the 
Peen-to. A seedling of Peen-to, supposed to be 
crossed with Honey. 
Waldo is not only a free and regular bearer, but 
it is also a high-colored, attractive fruit. The 
quality of the fruit is far superior to the Alexander 
and other early Peaches of parallel and higher 
latitudes and, being a freestone, is preferred in 
market. In flavor it has the good qualities of the 
Peen-to varieties, without a trace of the bitter tang 
many of the latter are apt to have under ordinary 
conditions. This valuable Peach is not restricted 
to this district in its adaptability; it stands with 
the first and best of the very early sorts southward 
throughout the state and, in the Gulf coast section 
of Texas and Lower Louisiana, gives promise of 
being one of the most valuable varieties.
