General List of Peaches 
Arranged as nearly as possible in order of ripening. Differences in seasons, soil, loca¬ 
tion, culture, and age of trees, all have their influence on the time of ripening of the differ¬ 
ent varieties. 
Mayflower — This is 
the earliest peach to ri¬ 
pen and among the earl¬ 
iest to bear. Color, red 
all over. Medium in 
size. It sets so much 
fruit that it should be 
thinned. 
Greensboro —A hardy, 
early peach, ripening 
the latter part of July. 
It is beautiful in ap¬ 
pearance; a large white 
peach, one side covered 
with light and dark 
crimson, and freestone 
when fully ripe. We re¬ 
gard this a valuable 
market variety. 
“Its large size, at¬ 
tractive appearance and 
reliability i n bearing 
combine to make it one 
of the best of its sea¬ 
son.”—Ohio Sta. Bulle¬ 
tin 170. 
“Largest of all early 
peaches, beautifully col¬ 
ored with light and 
dark red, shaded with 
yellow, which makes it 
a great beauty.’ ’ — J. 
Van Lindley Nursery Co. 
Triumph —An early yellow peach subject to 
rot in some seasons, otherwise a nice peach. 
Waddell —Fruit medium, oblong; color, 
creamy white, with bright blush on sunny 
side, often covering two-thirds of the peach; 
freestone; ripening two weeks before Mt. 
Bose. 
“An excellent medium early variety for home and mar¬ 
ket, stands shipping well, even long distances.”—Ohio 
Ex. Station. . 
Carman—Medium to large m size; white 
with beautiful red cheek, one of the most 
hardy and reliable bearers. We recommend 
it for commercial planting. One week before

Deman. 
“In some respects the most profitable and valuable 
peach in America.”—J. H. Hale.

one of the best of all peaches of North China 
type, the kind that are among our most 
hardy, is white, nearly covered in red, is of 
good size and quality, and a perfect freestone. 
We recommend it for commercial planting; 
ripens just before Mountain Bose. 
“Take my word for it, don’t miss planting Hieley, it is a 
money maker, sure.”—J. H. Hale.

rich red; and extra fine quality; perfect free¬ 
stone. August 25th to September 1st.

rich, sweet, juicy; skin creamy white, with 
red cheeks. The peculiarity of this handsome

low fleshed fruit, of large size and highly
