This is one of the most remarkable of Peaches, as it combines many desirable qualities which make it of 
great value for family use. 
Its long-continued bearing period. The first ripening begins about July i, and successive crops are 
produced until the beginning of September. Fruit in all stages of development — ripe and half-grown — may 
be seen upon the tree at the same time. 
The fruit is creamy white, mottled and striped with light purple and with pink veins; oblong in shape, 
and tapering to the apex ; flesh white, with red veins near the skin ; very juicy, vinous, and of excellent 
flavor; quality very good to best. Freestone of the Indian type. 
The first ripening averages 3 '/ z inches long by 3 inches broad. The size of the fruit of the second and 
following crops diminishes gradually, until that of the last ripening is about 2 inches in diameter. A supply 
of fruit may, therefore, be secured from the same tree for nearly three months in succession. 
We do not recommend the Everbearing Peach for commercial orchards, but for family use or small gar¬ 
dens, where there is room for only a few trees, its value is unquestionable. We offer it with confidence, as 
we knew the original tree, and have gathered fruit from it in its various stages of development. 
Two-year-old trees in our test orchards produced a fair crop of fruit during July and August, 1898, the 
quality being pronounced as unusually good by the Assistant Pomologist of the U. S. Department of Agri¬ 
culture, who saw the fruit here. 
This year we have 25 trees of the Everbearing in our test orchard now well set with fruit of various sizes. 
This peach is here to stay.

My Everbearing Peach tree commenced blooming about the middle of March, 1898, showing at same 
time full blooms and half open buds. I would say that this is really a wonderful tree, and any private orchard 
without it misses a great treat. I got fruit from about July 15, and as late as September 15. Owing to my 
ignorance of the tree, I foolishly pulled off a great many of the last crop, thinking the tree was only a scrub. 
The fruit is of fine flavor, as juicy as any I ever ate; clearstone. Yours truly, 
J. S. Talley.
