crop when other varieties are winter-killed. Fruit is me- 
dium to large in size; skin a deep golden yellow blushed

ALTON. This Peach, in our own orchard, has proven 
one of the hardiest, most profitable of the Belle of 
Georgia type. It isa semi-cling, white Peach with a 
beautiful red blush. You’ll have a crop-of Alton 
whenever seedlings bear. Ripens about July 15th. 
The tree is strong, stocky, good grower, well 
branched, and it is an extremely good, regular 
bearer. See illustration. 
(Clingstone.) Fine flavored, large, solid 
meated, yellow cling covered with red, ripening 
about 5th of September. The fruit is beautifully 
blushed, firm, rich, most delicious flavor. You will 
find Franks a very superior Peach because of its 
size, beautiful color, high quality, and high produc- 
tion. Very fine for pickling and preserving.
