The PEACH is truly the QUEEN OF 
FRUITS. Successful growing of Peaches and 
Plums in Texas depends upon selection of 
proper varieties for different sections. We 
give below distinct sections or areas, num- 
bered 1, 2, and 8, and these numbers ap- 
pear after varieties listed. Some varieties 
are adapted in two or three sections. 
1. South and Southwest Texas, and Gulf 
Coast. 
2. North, East, and Central Texas, and 
below Foot of Plains. 
3. Plains of Texas. 
Sections of other states corresponding 
in latitude and altitude will require the 
same varieties.

May-June Peaches 
BESTMAY. 1, 2. F. May 20... Origin, 
Fayette County, Texas. Most prolific, extra 
early large peach. Best shipper, as fruit is 
bright red all over ten days before ripe. For 
Central and South Texas, it has no equal 
for an early peach. 
JAPAN DWARF. 1, 2. F. May 25. 
Dwarfish tree. Meat partly red, sure bearer. 
MAYFLOWER. 2, 3. F. May 25. Fruit 
good, medium size, white, almost covered 
with red. Extra good flavor for early 
variety. 
EARLY WHEELER. 2, 3. C. May 30. 
(Also called Red Bird.) Extra good early 
peach, specially for North and North- 
east Texas. Not recommended farther south. 
“White, with red cheek. Excellent shipper. 
June Peaches 
EARLY ROSE. 1,2. C. June 10. Good 
size, bright red, delicious and good shipper. 
An excellent quality early peach. 
SLAPPY. 2,3. F. June 20. Yellow, large, 
fine home and commercial variety. An early 
Elberta type. 
LUTTICHAU. 1, 2. F. June 25. Medium 
size, sweet, Honey type. White, with pink 
cheek. Surest bearer. Trees have gone 
through two late heavy frosts, which killed 
fruit of other kinds, but did not injure 
Luttichau. Every home orchard should 
have it. ‘ 
BESTJUNE. 1, 2. S.C. June 28. One of 
the best flavored, high quality peaches and 
one of our favorites, particularly for home 
orchard. Large fruit, light color, with red 
cheek. Regular and prolific bearer. 
July Peaches 
CARMAN. 2. S.C. July 1. Similar to 
Mamie Ross. A standard home and com- 
mercial variety. Good size, white with red 
cheek. 
PALLAS. 1, 2. F. July 1. Medium size, 
white, deliciously sweet. Regular, heavy 
bearer. 
SMITH. 1, 2. F. July 1. Surest bearer 
we know. Another of the Honey or Pallas 
strain. Medium size, extra sweet. White, 
with red skin. 
HOBSON. 1, 2, 3. C. July 5. Fruit large, 
white and red, of best flavor. Sure, heavy 
bearer, with firm meat, making it most de- 
sirable commercial market variety, as well 
as for home orchard. This is one variety we 
recommend in every orchard in all sections. 
MAMIE ROSS. 1, 2, 3. S. C. July 5. 
Large, white and red, prolific. The well- 
known old reliable variety. 
LEONA. 1, 2, 3. F. July 8. Large, yel- 
low with red cheek, like Elberta in color 
and size. The name of F. T. Ramsey should 
live for many generations because of his in- 
troduction of this magnificent peach, which 
carries the Elberta type farther South than 
any other variety. It succeeds from the 
Coast to the Plains, but is best in the Cen- 
tral and North Texas belt. 
CHILOW. 1, 2. C. July 10-15. Pure yel- 
low, with very slight tinge of red on cheek. 
Fruit large, of unusual and unexcelled fra- 
grance and flavor, by which any one will 
soon be able to identify Chilow with eyes 
closed. An Elberta cling type. Best for eat- 
ing and pickling. 
ELBERTA. 2, 3. F. July 10-15. Well- 
known standard, universal variety. Good in 
Central Texas and farther narth. Large, 
yellow flesh, red cheek. Good shipper. 
MONTOPOLIS. 1, 2. F. July 1. White 
or creamy flesh, red at seed, with bright 
red coloring on outside. Distinguished by 
regular bearing and high quality of fruit.. 
One of the best for Central Texas.
