BRACKETT. (Named by us in honor of Col. G. B. Brackett, 
United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. 
C.) After testing innumerable varieties we have at last suc¬ 
ceeded in securing in the Brackett a Peach which fills a long- 
felt want. Before disseminating this valuable variety we have 
given it a thorough trial for five years, and it has come up 
to our most sanguine expectations. Its period of ripening 
commences just at the close of the Elberta season. The 
fruit—a perfect freestone — is large to very large, oblong, 
with sharp apex and shallow suture; color orange-yellow, 
washed red and mottled deep carmine, with a very dark 
carmine cheek; flesh deep yellow, juicy, highly flavored; 
quality best. This Peach is evidently a cross between Smock 
and Chinese Cling. We will have a large stock of this Peach 
ready for distribution in November, 1911. Make your reser¬ 
vations now. Will be disseminated solely by us. 
CARSON. (Originated in Hancock County, Georgia.) Above 
medium; very pale yellowish ground, totally overspread with 
light carmine, with deep carmine cheek; flesh white, very 
juicy, vinous, red near the stone. A sure and heavy bearer, 
and a desirable variety. Ripens last of July. Cling. 
KENT. An excellent new variety, which originated at Augusta, 
Georgia. Fruit of large size, slightly depressed at apex; skin 
greenish yellow, tinted carmine at apex and on check; flesh 
yellow, buttery, of fine flavor; skin very tough, but peels 
readily. Ripens August 1 to 15 . Cling. 
PEARS 
This list of select varieties is reduced to such as have been well tested and proved valuable throughout the largest section 
of the South. We grow standard Pear trees principally, but can supply dwarfs of a few varieties, as below mentioned:

Oriental Pears 
This type is peculiarly adapted to the South 
Garber. Resembles the Kieffer in size, appearance and 
quality, but matures here in August, and between the Le 
Conte and Kieffer. A thrifty grower and valuable variety. 
Hawaii, of Sandwich Island. Medium; round, Bergamotte- 
shaped. Very prolific; foliage luxuriant, fine grower. Valu¬ 
able for cooking and canning. October to December. 
Japan Golden Russet. Large, almost globular; entirely 
covered with russet; firm, juicy; excellent for canning and 
preserving. A strong, vigorous grower.

vermilion cheek; flesh brittle, very juicy, with a marked 
musky aroma; quality good. Matures from September to 
October. Tree vigorous and veiy prolific. Begins to bear 
when four years old. If the fruit is allowed to hang upon the 
tree until the beginning of October, and then carefully 
ripened in a cool, dark room, it is a very attractive Pear. 
Le Conte (Chinese Pear). Fruit large, pyriform; skin smooth, 
ale yellow; quality very variable, usually of second quality, 
ut if allowed to mature slowly in a cool, dark room, its 
quality improves remarkably. Maturity from July 20 to 
end of August. Trees begin to bear when five years old.
