THE MUIR PEACH IS UNEXCELLED 
Inasmuch as its ripening period is practically the same as that of the Early 
Crawford, we do not hesitate to say that it is much preferable, particulary as 
a dried product, the fruit showing up much brighter in color, consequently, 
demanding better prices on the market. Its ripening period is the middle 
of July. 
George’s Late Cling This is a large beautiful yellow colored cling, some¬ 
what splashed with a bright red. The flesh is 
white, and inclined to be of a slight red around the pit. 
It is a good shipper and on account of its attractive appearance, seldom, if 
ever, fails to bring good prices on the market. 
The tree is a strong grower and a good bearer and has the reputation in 
the northern counties of being one of the most profitable of the late clings. 
Ripens middle of September. 
Greensboro one ^ ie earliest and largest of the white freestones. The 
fruit presents a very fine appearance when hanging on the tree, 
placed in the fruit basket, or when sliced to be used as a dessert. 
The skin is of a creamy white with a dainty blush of red. The flesh is white, 
juicy and of good flavor. 
Greensboro was originated by J. A. Young, of Greensboro, North Carolina, 
and is claimed to be a favorite among the early varieties in that section. 
Hale’s Early This peach is a large early freestone and originated in the 
state of Ohio. The skin is of a greenish color mottled with 
red when ripe; the flesh is white, melting and rich. 
Hale’s Early is a fine variety for house use and is considered a good variety 
for local markets. One particularly good feature about this peach is the fact 
that it is very easily peeled. Ripens early in July. 
Heath Cling As a clingstone variety the Heath Cling is unequalled by any 
other variety of its color or season. 
The fruit is very large. Skin is creamy white in color, having a faint tinge 
of red on the sunny side. The flesh is of a greenish white color, very tender, 
possessing a rich flavor and a pleasing aroma which is unequalled by any other 
of the late canning varieties. 
.It is quite frequently seen on exhibition among Chamber of Commerce ex¬ 
hibits and at fruit fairs, where it attracts much attention. Besides its high 
value as a canning variety it is exceptionally fine for pickling and for the mak¬ 
ing of preserves. Ripens the middle of September. 
Late Crawford This peach is widely known throughout the entire United 
States. . In California it has been extensively planted and 
good profits have been derived from it. It is a good shipping peach and is 
equally good for drying. It enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest 
varieties planted in this State. 
The fruit is large, roundish, having a yellow skin and a dark red cheek. The 
flesh is deep yellow in color inclined to be reddish at the pit. Ripens early 
in August. 
Levy Late or Henrietta Cling Originated by W. W. Levy, Washing¬ 
ton, D. C., and has for several years been 
one of the leading late clingstones of that section. 
The tree is a strong grower and a heavy producer. The fruit is large in size 
and roundish in shape. The skin is a deep yellow bearing a rich brownish 
shade on the sunny side. The flesh is a rich deep yellow, firm and juicy, 
ripening the middle of September. 
In some sections this variety is very much favored by canners as it ripens 
after the Phillips Cling and allows them to increase their pack by lengthening 
their season. We recommend the planting of this variety in all home orchards. 
Libbee Cling This is another of the many varieties originated in the 
famous Selma peach belt and is claimed by fruit growers 
to be one of the best. 
The tree is a strong grower and a very heavy bearer. The fruit resembles 
very much that of the Lovell freestone, being uniform in size and nearly round 
in shape. 
Its attractive appearance and time of ripening make it a very valuable 
variety both to the grower and canner, ripening as it does between the 
Tuscan and the Phillips.
