East of August. 
Niagara Peach— A new varietv, but fully tested 
by extensive orchard planting near Rochester, N, Y. 
It may be called the New Elberta, since in appearance 
it is just like Elberta. It seems to have all the desir¬ 
able qualities of Elberta with none of its defects. One 
defect of Elberta is that the foliage is liable to be 
affected wiih the fungus that causes leaf curl, while 
the foliage of Niagara peach cannot be surpassed in 
healthfulness and vigor, and for its ability to resisS 
fungus, being almost of the character of leather. 
Another reason is that while Elberta is of good fais 
quality, Niagara is superb in quality and far superior 
to Elberta. Niagara ripens one week earlier than 
Elberta, ripening here September 1st. It is remark¬ 
ably free from yellows and leaf curl. 
Frances —In this new variety we believe We have 
one which is equal to the old standard Elberta in every 
respect and ripens immediately after it. 
It is one of tho handsomest peaches ever grown,, 
being of a beautiful shade of yellow covered almost 
entirely with brilliant red. In size it is about the 
equal of Elberta, average specimens measuring nine 
inches in circumference. It is very productive. It is 
a true freestone, with particularly solid flesh, and as 
a “shipper” is absolutely without a rival.
