ELBERTA-—The great American market peach; produces big, profitable crops. Fruit 
large, bright, attractive, yellow with crimson shading; flesh firm and of good quality. Will ripen 
perfectly when picked green. One of the best for home or market use. Free stone. September. 
CHAMPION—Fruit large, delicious, sweet, juicy; skin creamy white, with red cheek; 
handsome, hardy and productive, and a good shipper; adhering slightly to the stone. White flesh. 
August 15th. 
ROCHESTER—The fruit is large, yellow, sweet, juicy and of delicious flavor; keeping 
and shipping well; skin prettily blushed and mottled. Strong growing and hardy, and annual and 
prolific cropper, ripening about August 10th. 
SOUTH HAVEN—One of the newer peaches grown much in Michigan. It stands our 
cold winters better than any of the other varities. Flesh golden yellow; rich and sweet; firm, ex¬ 
cellent shipper and keeper; freestone; ripens 2 to 3 weeks ahead of the Elberta. Tree is hardy, 
healthy and is a vigorous grower and heavy producer. 
HALE-HAVEN—This is a cross of the J. H Hale and the South Haven, which de¬ 
velops a very large Peach of the Hale type and with the hardiness of the South Haven. We do not 
believe that Hale-Haven is quite as hardy as the South Haven; the fruit, however, is much larger. 
Try a few trees of this new variety. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE —A new early peach, large size, golden color, rich flavor, free¬ 
stone. A good shipping variety. 
ALEXANDER—White meat. Bears in July. 
CROSBY—Yellow, round, high flavor. September.
