PEACHES—continued 
Elberta 
Old Mixon—This is a fine, large, exceed¬ 
ingly productive variety. Skin, white with 
a red cheek; flesh white, tender, rich and ex¬ 
cellent. 
Fitzgerald—A productive yellow peach ri¬ 
pening after Early Crawford. A peach of 
fine quality, but its fruit is uneven in size. 
Reeve’s Favorite—A very large yellow 
peach of the highest quality—unexcelled as 
a fancy peach—not a heavy bearer. 
Elberta—This is the most profitable, and 
best selling peach of the whole list; from 30 
to 50 per cent, of every commercial orchard 
should be of this variety. There appears to 
be no limit to the demand for the fruit. Com¬ 
mercial growers have made more money on 
this variety than on all others. 
An exceedingly large, light colored yellow 
peach with red cheek, flesh yellow. A per¬ 
fect freestone. September 10th to 15th. 
Foster—A fine yellow peach of the Early 
Crawford type, ripening at about same time, 
but superior to that variety in the coloring, 
being brighter. 
Niagara—This is a nice yellow peach of 
the Crawford type, but too shy a bearer to 
be profitable in this section. 
Crosby—A medium sized yellow peach with 
a remarkably small pit. Splendid quality. 
The strongest claims for it is the frost proof 
character of its fruit buds. 
Stump—A large, roundish white peach with 
red cheek. September 10th to 15th. 
Late Stump—A later ripening strain of 
Stump that appeared in our bearing orchard 
and considered by commercial growers one of 
the most profitable of peaches, ripening im¬ 
mediately after Elberta. The time of ripen¬ 
ing and heavy bearing qualities combine to 
make it very desirable. 
Crawford’s Late—A standard sort, of large 
size, considered by some the best of its sea¬ 
son, and as a yellow-fleshed peach, unequaled 
quality. September 15th to 20th. 
Chair’s Choice—Much like Late Crawford, 
but a week later in ripening; generally un¬ 
profitable in this section. 
Globe—A variety of great size and beauty; 
all the fruit uniformly large and of the best 
flavor; yellow, shaded with red. Like all ex¬ 
tra large peaches, it is a shy bearer and 
would not be profitable as a commercial va¬ 
riety. Ripens after Crawford’s Late. 
Frances—A large yellow peach ripening 
just after Elberta. It is a very handsome 
peach. September 15th to 20th. 
“Of all varieties advertised to follow Elberta in the mar¬ 
ket, Frances is the best peach grown on the Station 
grounds. Its fruits are practically as large as Elberta and 
even more handsome. It extends the Elberta season a few 
days or a week. On our grounds it appears to be quite as 
good for market purposes as Elberta.”—New York Agri¬ 
cultural Exp. Station. 
Fox’s Seedling—Medium to large; white 
flesh; skin creamy white, with bright red 
cheek; a very heavy bearer. September 25th 
to October 1st. 
Bray’s Rareripe—White with red on sunny 
side; freestone, flesh fine grained. Heavy 
bearer. October 1st to 5th. 
Iron Mountain—Size large, shape oblong or 
egg shape, color pure white, sometimes hav¬ 
ing a slight blush. Hardy in bud and a re¬ 
liable .^bea^jer. September 20th to October 
©ror— 3*7!w. Hardy, and a regular 
&er,Vipens with Beer’s Smock; very large, 
yellow-fleshed; skin a beautiful yellow, with 
red cheek; shape similar to Crawford’s Late; 
pit small and parts readily from the flesh. 
Smock—Medium to large, light orange yel¬ 
low, with red cheek; flesh yellow. Rather 
dry. Used for canning. 
Mathew’s Beauty—A large yellow peach, 
ripening two weeks or so after Elberta. Shy 
and of poor color with us. 
Steven/s Rareripe—Large, white peach 
with red cheek. It is certainly best in qual¬ 
ity of any peach we have ever seen of its 
season. September 25th to 30th. 
Salway—A large, round, deep yellow peach 
''With dull red cheek; flesh firm and rich. Oc¬ 
tober 1st to 5th. 
Mr. Holmes, my manager, writes me that 
“we had better continue with Barnes Bros. 
Nursery Co. with our future plantings irre¬ 
spective of any offers from other parties” so 
I presume that settles the matter for 1916 , 
also for other plantings we have planned. 
Yours truly,
