POLLY. Introduced 
Experimental Station. It has withstood tempera- 
tures as low as 15 to 20 degrees below zero. Its 
hardiness, however, is not its only recommenda- 
tion, for it is one of the finest flavored peaches 
ever introduced. Because of its fine texture, it 
is not a good shipper and we recommend it 
for home use. Flesh is white, juicy and firm. 
The fruit is large, blushed and free stoned. It 
retains its firm texture when canned. Prices, 
3 to 4-foot trees, by express f. o. b, the nursery:
