Peaches 
The best soil for the Peach is a deep, rich, 
sandy loam. Trees should be vigorously prun¬ 
ed back when planted to form good, strong 
heads. 
ARP BEAUTY. Of the Elberta type, but 
hardier in tree, bud and bloom; very pro¬ 
lific. Skin yellow, blushed and mottled 
bright crimson; flesh yellow, firm, juicy, 
excellent flavor. Ripens when Alexander is 
going out. An extra good shipper. Some¬ 
times freestone when ripe. The best early 
Peach grown. 
ALEXANDER. Medium to large; greenish 
white covered with a deep rich red; very 
juicy, clinging to stone. Best early market 
variety. 
CHAMPION. It is a large, handsome Peach, 
with a creamy white skin and beautiful red 
cheek. In flavor it is exquisite, and is a 
true freestone. Ripens about the middle of 
July. 
EARLY CRAWFORD. A magnificent, large 
yellow Peach of good quality. Its size, 
beauty and productiveness make it one of 
the most popular varieties. Extensively 
planted. Freestone. 
ELBERTA. Very large; skin golden yellow where ex¬ 
posed to sun, faintly striped with red. Flesh yellow, 
very fine grain, juicy, rich and sweet. Tree very pro¬ 
lific and presents a handsome appearance. Freestone. 
September. 
EARLY ELBERTA. Freestone, midseason, of the El- 
berta type. Large golden yellow flesh, far better in 
quality than the Elberta, sweeter and finer grained. 
Tree strong grower, has tendency to thin itself like 
Elberta, carrying moderate loads of fruits. A splendid 
canning variety, remaining solid and of good color. 
It passes on tbe market as the Elberta but the cus¬ 
tomer gets a better Peach and the grower repeat or¬ 
ders. Ripens about ten days before Elberta, along 
with Early Crawford. 
GLOBE. A variety that should be grown more ex¬ 
tensively. Yellow flesh, sweet and juicy. Fruit round 
and of good size. Midseason, hardy. Freestone. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. Another one of the fine new in¬ 
troductions to the Peach family. Size large, golden 
yellow with red blush. Yellow flesh of extra fine 
texture, very juicy, exquisite flavor, rich. Superb for 
fresh dessert, beautiful in can; acclaimed one of the 
best shipping varieties on the market. Introduced 
and endorsed by New Jersey Experiment Station. 
Ripens 3 to 4 weeks ahead of Elberta. 
HALE’S EARLY. Medium, nearly round; skin mottled 
red, dark red cheek. Flesh white, juicy, melting, high 
flavored; freestone. August. 
HEATH CLING. A most delicious cling. Very large;

tember.

vor; a good keeper and shipper. Coming commercial

stone Peach; very rich. Last of September.

the coast. August. 
ORANGE CLING (Runyan’s). Fruit large, yellow; 
rich, sugary, vinous flavor. Tree heavy bearer; hardy. 
PERFECTION. The fruit is of the largest size, yellow, 
with a beautiful blush cheek. The flesh is thick and 
very fine grained, yellow, with red around the pit, 
which is nearly as small as a prune seed. Its tough 
skin, firm flesh and good keeping qualities place it 
in the lead for a desirable shipping and market va¬ 
riety. Ripens from 10th to 15th of September. We 
cannot recommend this new Peach too highly to our 
friends and patrons. 
ROCHESTER. A comparatively new variety for the 
Northwest, but a variety of proven merit in eastern

Peaches of recent introduction. Of golden yellow

keeper and shipper; ripens 2 weeks or more ahead of 
Elberta, coming on a bare market. Tree hardy,
