“Prairie Strain” 
New Peach Varieties 
Introduced by the Illinois Experiment Station to 
meet the growing need for hardier, more rugged 
varieties—for dependable production year after

Bs Prairie Dawn Peaches. Fruit highly col- 
ored. Flesh medium yellow. Does not discolor 
in freezing or canning. Tree vigorous and pro- 
ductive. Tends to cling in some localities but 
this is far overbalanced by its other good char- 
acteristics—and is not objectionable for freez-

Few Fruits Have Such Delectable Flavor 
In early spring the trees are a mass of Pinkish 
White Blossoms, and are most colorful. In home 
plantings, the trees are more protected and there- 
by are less subject to frost damage. 
An old English variety and is 
probably the most widely grown 
of all Apricots. The fruits are of the largest size, 
handsome appearance and have long been the 
standard of excellence in both appearance and 
quality. Color orange yellow with a distinct blush 
on the side next to the sun and flecked with red- 
dish dots. The flesh is firm, sweet, juicy, and of 
highest quality. 
This Apricot has been 
grown in Michigan for 
a number of years and has proven fruitful even 
under their northern winter conditions. We are of 
the opinion that it is of the Hungarian type. The 
fruits are of good size, juicy and of highest 
quality. A good companion for Moorpark. 
\Quette Nectarine 
Hardy as a peach, a delicious sweet flavor, 
smooth skin and with striking red color. Our 
pickers call this the “Fuzzless Peach’—and do 
they like them.
