FRUIT TREES. 
THE PRATT PEACH— Originated in Eastern Massachusetts, some twenty-five year« 
ago, and reproduces itself true, from the pit, every time. A few trees were brought here by the 
originator, some twelve or fifteen yeare ago, and aJthough they have produced heavy crops of fruit 
for the past ten years, they stand alive to-day, perfect in health, with no signs of disease 
about them. The fruit ripens the first week in September, Of the largest size. Color a rich 
y red and yellow. Red predominates. Flesh vellow, tender and juicy. Very small pit. Its habit 
^ of reproducing itself from the pit is a point tL; t will be especially appreciated by all amateur fruit 
« growers, for when once they have a few trees of the PRATT in fruiting, they can always be sure 
^ of trees of this Mammoth Yellow Peach by simply saving a few of the pits and planting them 
g and letting them grow without the expense or trouble of budding. It seems to be strongly" 
w endowed with the health and vigor of the old native seedlings of New England, and we trust 
C in the future that none of our nurserymen will weaken its constitution in their hurry to increase 
^ “^eir stock by budding, for it is only ihe seedlings that can be depended upon to perpetuaU the 
» ealih of this King of Peaches. All the trees we offer are seedlings, and there are less than 200 
now in the country for sale. The failure of the peach crop in-1882 left us without pits to grow 
© trees from last season, and the few we offer now were very small one-year trees cut to the ground 
^ last spring and allowed to make a new top. $2 each; 3 for 55. Order early to secure them.
