VIEW OE THE GEORGIA BARBECUE, JUNE, 1904. 
A Georgia Barbecue arranged ready to be served in a famous young peach orchard, where many varieties of peaches 
were served—a real education as to varieties. We travel thousands of miles to see and keep in touch with good growers 
and varieties. 
Hieley (Early Bell)— This seedling of Bell of 
Georgia, one of the best of all peaches of North China 
type, the kind that are among our most hardy, is much 
like its parent in size, color and beauty, having the 
same vigor of tree and hardiness of fruit buds, but 
ripens its fruit nearly a month earlier, thus giving us 
alarge, rich, creamy white peach, with rich blush on 
sunny side, at a season when in former years we had 
only small semi-cling vari eties of poor quality. Early 
Bell is aslargeas Stump, as beautiful as Old Mixon, of 
fine quality and a good shipper. July 15th. 
Triumph —Very early yellow freestone peach, ripen¬ 
ing with Alexander. Blooms late, has large flowers, 
is a sure and abundant bearer and makes a very strong 
growth. The fruit is small with a very small pit, and 
is indeed beautiful. Surface is yellow, nearly covered 
with red and dark crimson in the sun. Flesh bright 
yellow, free when fully ripe and of excellent flavor. 
Admiral Dewey—It is a perfect freestone; ripens 
with the Triumph; flesh is yellow, of uniform texture 
and color to pit. Has better form and brighter color 
on the surface; is equally hardy and productive. The 
tree is a strong symmetrical grower, and as near per¬ 
fection as w T e can obtain in a single variety. Origina¬ 
tor’s descripf : ^n. 
^Troth’s Early—A very early peach of medium 
size, whitish, with a fine red cheek. Middle of July. 
Slappy —New. A new peach that is creating a 
great sensation among Georgia growers; originated 
by Mr. Rumph, who has this to say of it: “The earliest 
and handsomest 3 T ellow freestone peach; ripens at a 
season when the market is bare of good peaches; a 
very thrifty grower, very hardy, excellent flavor* 
splendid keeping qualities, free of excessive rot; no 
better shipper yet originated. Ripens thoroughly to the 
seed; sweet, yellow flesh. Color a clear golden yellow, 
with dark shades; a beauty. June 15, in Georgia . ,S 
Schumacher— A very early peach, similar to Alex¬ 
ander in many ways, but is more highly colored and 
more showy, very good qualities. June. 
Waterloo Medium to large; flesh greenish white, 
with abundance of sweet vinous juice. Semi-clingl 
ripens with Amsden June.

Chinese Cling, which originated in Guilford County, 
North Carolina. It has extra large fruit of a cream 
white shade; having a beautiful blush next to the sun.
