The Elberta Peach. 
Originated in Georgia a few years ago, and has proved to be one of the most valuable of the newer 
varieties. Orchards in New York State bore this year for the first time, and produced fruit which 
surprised and delighted the grower. The fruit is large, handsome, with golden yellow skin, covered 
w ith a bright crimson blush. Flesh yellow, juicy ; quality good, though not quite equal to Crawford.
