SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS FOR 1901. 149. CHAMPION PEACH. Champion—Fruit very large, often 10 inches in circumfer- ence. Flavor most delicious, juicy, sweet and rich, sur- passing most other varieties. Color, a beautiful creamy white, with a bright red cheek, most strikingly handsome in appearance. Its season of ripening is medium early. It is the largest, finest and most satisfactory standard sort grown, 20c, each ; per doz. La France—Early, large, beautiful. Skin dark carmine red, flesh white, fine, molting, juicy, of exquisite perfume. Tree vigorous and prolific, of dwarf growth, fruiting freely when two years old. A grand variety. 20c. each. Dwarf Japanese—This is the earliest of all Peaches, matur- ing in about eight weeks from time of blooming. It is a dwarf-growing, very stocky variety from Japan, bearing when three or four feet high; a little tree, one year planted, matured twenty-four fine specimens. The bloom- ing season is late, making it free from damage by frosts. Fruit large, beautiful crimson and yellow, heavily over- laid with red. The flesh is rich, juicy and of most ex- cellent quality, and of blood-red color. It is the most fra- grant of all Peaches, a single specimen being so sweet as to fill a whole room with the delightful fragrance. The trees are very productive. It requires so little room that it may be grown on the lawn or in any nook and corner which would not accommodate a larger variety. It is a perfect gem of a fruit. 20e. each; per dozen.
