THE MUIR PEACH IS UNEXCELLED 
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. 
HailSS Cling" highly recommended in some sections of California by the 
6 canners and is what is termed a midsummer cling as it ripens 
just after the Tuscan. The fruit is of good size, round in shape, and clear yel¬ 
low to the pit which is very small. The tree is a strong thrifty grower and 
a good bearer. 
While it has not been planted very extensively throughout California, it has 
become very popular among planters and canners in the northern part of the 
state and especially around Yuba City where it was originated by Mr. Hauss. 
Ripens August 1st to 10th. 
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. 
Levis Cling This variety originated near Selma, California, on the ranch of 
Mr. A. Levis. The tree of the Levis Cling is a good strong 
healthy grovver and the fruit resembles in appearance the well known Muir. 
The. fruit is a beautiful yellow color with an exceptionally small pit; is uni¬ 
form in size, and has a texture finer than the Peak Cling. The flesh is yellow, 
all through, which makes it a very desirable cling for canning. The time of 
ripening, of the Levis Cling, is immediately following the Tuscan and for this 
feature alone, to say nothing of the many other good qualities, we can highly 
recommend it. 
Those who contemplate planting a few trees for a home orchard should not 
overlook the Levis. Ripens latter part of July. 
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. 
Lovell Originated in California as a chance seedling and is one of the most 
widely planted and highly favored of any freestone variety in Cali¬ 
fornia today. 
The tree is a vigorous grower and a heavy bearer. The fruit is very uniform 
in size, almost perfectly round; yellow in color. The flesh is fine, firm, yellow 
to the pit and contains a large percentage of sugar. 
The Lovell is the best canning, drying and shipping freestone peach grown. 
There is scarcely a year passes that the producer could not dispose of his 
crop of Lovells in any one of the three ways mentioned at a profitable price. 
We do not hesitate to state that we consider this variety one of the very 
best peaches to plant. Its time of ripening is the last part of August or the 
first part of September just as the Muirs are going out. 
Mayflower This is one of the earliest freestone varieties and is highly re¬ 
garded by all lovers of peaches for dessert purposes.
