GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 
Deciduous Fruits 
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. Succeeds well along the Gulf coast 
from Florida to southern Texas. 
Peen-to. (P.-to.) A very curiously formed 
Peach, resembling in shape a small, flat turnip, 
both ends being flattened, and at the pit also 
partaking of the same shape. The color of the 
Peach is a greenish white, beautifully washed 
with red in the sun, and when allowed to thor¬ 
oughly 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 noticeable, how¬ 
ever, 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 which have originated from it, are the 
most tropical in character of all varieties listed. 
Powers’ September. (Sp.) Fruit of medium 
size and good quality; flesh white, free. Sept. 
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 to suit 
most tastes, but it is a most excellent fruit for 
cooking, being possessed of a peculiar flavor 
when cooked, suggesting 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. 
Sneed. (N. C.) Very early, averaging eight 
to ten 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 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.) Seedling of the Peen-to, origi¬ 
nated at Lake Helen in southern Volusia county. 
It has been quite extensively grown for ship¬ 
ment by the growers of Lake Helen, by whom 
it is highly esteemed. Its description is not 
materially different from Ridwell’s Early, except 
that it is larger, firmer and a little more acid 
than the latter. The tree is a vigorous grower 
and a satisfactory 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. 
Valuable for canning. 
Thurber. (N. C.) Large to very large ; skin 
white, with light crimson mottlings ; flesh juicy; 
vinous and of delicate aroma; texture exceed¬ 
ingly 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 varieties originated from the Honey. 
Triumph. (Per.) Ripens with Alexander, 
blooms late, The tree makes a 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.) Fruit medium to 
large, of pleasant subacid flavor; semi-cling. 
May 8 to 16. The tree is a vigorous, compact 
grower, and a heavy annual bearer. The origi¬ 
nator claims that it is uniformly ten days earlier 
than Sneed, which makes it undoubtedly the 
earliest variety in existence. Texas origin. 
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' 
Valuable for cooking and canning. 
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, melt¬ 
ing, 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. Very valuable for 
Florida, gives excellent satisfaction in Mexico, 
the gulf-coast section of Texas, in lower Louisi¬ 
ana, and has given good results in the West 
Indian Islands.
