Ripe June | 
nese Cling. Ripe middle of July. An excellent shipping va- | 
riety. No other Peach has made such a name for shipping, 
and none is cultivated more extensively. 
EMMA. Large; yellow, with red cheek; flesh yellow, firm, 
juicy, best quality. Ripe July 25 to August 5; follows El- 
berta. An excellent market sort in some sections. 
Everbearing. Has а long-continued bearing period. The 
first ripening begins about July 1 to 15, and successive crops 
are produced until the middle of September. Fruit in all 
stages of development—ripe and half-grown—may be seen 
upon the tree at the same time. The fruit is creamy white, 
mottled and striped with light purple and with pink veins; 
oblong in shape, and tapering to the apex; flesh white, with 
red veins near the skin: very juicy, vinous and of excellent 
flavor; quality very good to best. Freestone of the Indian 
type. 
The first ripening averages 3% inches long by 3 inches 
broad. The size of the fruit of the second and following crops 
diminishes gradually, until that of the last ripening is about 
2 inches in diameter. A supply of fruit may, therefore, be se- 
cured from the same tree for nearly three months in succes- 
sion. Wedo not recommend the Everbearing Peach for com- 
mercial orchards, but for family use and small gardens, 
where there is room for only a few trees, its value is unques- 
tionable. We offer it with confidence, as during the past 
ten years we have gathered fruit from it in various stages 
of development. 
Fleitas, or Yellow St. John (May Beauty). Medium, 
roundish; orange-yellow, with a deep red cheek; juicy, 
sweet and highly flavored; flesh yellow. Ripens end of June 
to July 10. 
GREENSBORO. Origin, North Carolina. Ripens a week 
later than Alexander, but much larger. Round, sometimes 
elongated; flesh white, very juicy, of good quality; skin 
white, with red eheek, highly colored in the sun. Becoming 
а favorite, and profitable early market sort. 
HILEY (Early Belle). Large; white, with beautiful red cheek; 
flesh white, quality best. Prolifie bearer. Ripens June 25 to 
July 5. Тһе best shipping variety of its season. 
Picquet's Late. Very large; yellow, with a red eheek; flesh 
yellow, buttery, rich, sweet, and of the highest flavor. Ma- 
turity from end of August to middle of September. 
Peen-to Free. Fruit 2 to 2% inches in diameter, very flat; 
skin pale greenish white, with a beautiful mottled red cheek: 
flesh finely grained, good quality. As this Peach colors a 
long time before maturity or full development, it is often 
gathered prematurely, which renders it unfit for use. It 
should be allowed to hang upon the tree until approaching 
full maturity, when it shows its excellent quality. As this 
Peach blooms in January, it is only adapted to Florida and 
REDDUNT sections. Matures in Florida from April 1 (o 
ay 10.

larger size: best quality. Fine shipper and a profitabie mar- 
ket sort. June 10 to 15.

fore the Alexander. 
SUMMEROUR, or ATLANTA. Very large, round; deep 
yellow; flesh yellow, juiey, sweet and of good quality. Ma- 
turity from middle to end of September. This Peach fills a 
gap which has long been open in the season of maturity, 
because it ripens after all the good freestones are gone. It is, 
no doubt, destined to become a very valuable market variety, 
and large commercial orchards have been planted of this 
kind in north Georgia, where it originated. Price, 4 feet and 
ир. 25 cts. each, $2 for 10.

crimson mottlings: flesh very juicy, vinous and of delicate
