Bear 
Peach es Heavily 
in three or four years 
Peaches are divided into white flesh sorts 
and yellow flesh sorts. The former are the @J 
earliest in the season, juiciest, and sweetest, 
but very few markets prefer them to yellow 
peaches. The latter, however, are firmer, ship 
better, and are better liked in a great majority 
of markets. 
Another division of peaches may be made, 
clingstone and freestone. The clingstones are 
earlier and as a class are not as well flavored 
as the freestones. They are preferred by 
many for culinary purposes since they hold 
their shape better after cooking. For home 
use we recommend planting liberally of both 
the white and yellow flesh varieties; includ- 
ing, of course, some clingstones. 
The peach will thrive upon a great diver- 
sity of soil, provided one condition be ever 
present—good drainage.

the original the KING

Elberta leads all other peaches in number of trees in America. It is, too, the j 
most popular of all peaches in the markets. The pre-eminent meritorious char- 
acter of Elberia is its freedom from local prejudices of extra soil or climate— 4 
it is the cosmopolite of cultivated peaches, thus Elberta is grown with profit in ‘ 
every peach-growing state in the Union. '

3 inches long and 2% inches wide, roundish, with a pointed tip and skin 
thick, flesh yellow stained pink near the pit, juicy, firm but tender, good quality, 
stone free.
