go around and early ordering is essential, 
that the trees may be reserved until 
proper time for shipment. 
The public more and more is demanding 
Elberta peaches. They are the most used 
for canning, but unfortunately the Elberta 
season is short. It is the lengthening of the 
Elberta season by means of these Texas 
varieties which will make them of such 
great value and we give their time of ripen¬ 
ing in comparison with Elberta. 
DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES 
Eva—This is the first of the Stubenrauch 
varieties to ripen which in a normal season 
is several days in advance of Elberta. In 
size it is the equal of that variety, more 
round, nearly covered with red and of 
similar quality. There is no other dependa¬ 
ble yellow peach ripening at this period, 
which makes this of double importance. 
Tena—Ripens with Elberta, of same size, 
but has better color. Very prolific. 
Toughina—Ripens a week after Elberta. 
Mr. Stubenrauch says of it: “In size, this 
Peach is very large, some specimens weigh¬ 
ing 12 ounces. The color is a bright yellow, 
nearly covered with beautiful red. This is 
practically a nectarine, has no fuzz at all, 
and skin as tough as a turnip; flesh quite 
juicy, and of highest quality. Quality is 
far better than Elberta or even Hale, which 
I have growing close by. Owing to its 
blooming later, it escapes injury by cold 
when the Elbertas are killed. Speaking of 
the Hale, it is certainly ahead of Elberta, 
and, side by side, Toughina is yet decidedly 
ahead of Hale.” 
Anita—Follows Toughina in ripening and 
seems to be a reproduction of Elberta, but 
even more prolific. Imagine what this 
means to a peach grower to be able to sup¬ 
ply his customers with fresh peaches of 
Elberta character for over a nomth. 
Lizzie—Ripens two weeks after Elberta. 
Is of light lemon yellow, with nice red 
cheeks. Quality good and of large size 
with very little fuzz. Like the other varie¬ 
ties of this group, it is a good shipper and 
thus valuable for local or long distance 
markets. 
GENERAL LIST OF VARIETIES 
Connetts—Ripens between Greensboro 
and Carman, in early August, thus filling 
a long felt need for a reliable cropper at 
that period. Very similar to Carman and 
especially popular in Southern New Jersey. 
Early Elberta—Ripens a few days in ad¬ 
vance of Elberta. The fruit is of a rich 
yellow color with blush. Very similar to 
Elberta but not quite as large or produc¬ 
tive. 
Miss Lola—This is one of the newer 
varieties ripening at the same time with 
Carman. It is very nearly freestone, of 
white flesh, somewhat larger than Carman, 
but not quite as much blush. Tree is very 
hardy in bud and exceedingly productive.
