Deciduous Fruits 
PEACHES, continued 
Mamie Ross. (N. C.) A seedling of the 
Chinese Cling, which it much resembles. 
Fruit almost as large as the Chinese Cling ; 
white, nearly covered with delicate carmine ; 
flesh white, juicy and of good quality. A 
regular and very prolific bearer. June 15. 
Popular throughout a wide region of Texas, 
where it is esteemed the finest early cling. 
Matthews’ Beauty. (N. C.) The fruit is of 
large size, shaped similar to Elberta, but a little 
longer ; skin golden yellow, streaked with red; 
flesh firm, yellow and of excellent flavor. Ri¬ 
pens two or three weeks later than Elberta. 
Onderdonk. (Sp.) Large; skin and flesh 
yellow ; very juicy and sweet ; free. Last of 
July. Originated in Texas. Possesses a val¬ 
uable combination of quality, appearance and 
productiveness. A good mid-season variety. 
Oviedo. (Hon.) Medium to large, round¬ 
ish oblong, with short recurved point ; highly 
colored ; flesh light, streaked with red ; very 
firm, good flavor; free. Early in July. Seed¬ 
ling of Honey. 
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 the pit also par¬ 
taking of the same shape. The color of the 
Peach is a greenish white, beautifully washed 
with red in the sun, and when allowed to 
thoroughly 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 notice¬ 
able, however, when the trees are liber¬ 
ally 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 that 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. Sep. 
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 for 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. 
Reeves’ Mammoth. (Sp.) Originated in 
Orange county, Florida. A large, fine, free¬ 
stone. Early in August. 
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, 
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 materially 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 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. (\ T . 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. Re¬ 
sembles Chinese Cling in size and color. One 
of the best of its class.
