The peaches of New York . oc. Rpt. 21. 1912. Minnie. 5. Mich. Sta. Bid. 118:30. 1895. 6. Tex. Sta. Bui. 39:813. 1896. 7. III. Hort. , 53. 1896. 8. Mich. .Sta. Bui. 169:220. 1899. 9. Budd-Hansen Am. Hort. Man. 2:351, 352. 1903. Alton is everywhere held in high esteem as ar\ early mid-season, white-fleshed, semi-free peach. It merits the esteem bestowed upon it by virtueof large size, handsome appearance and high quality of the peaches andhardiness and productiveness in the trees. It ripens a little earlier thanChampion, long the favorite white-fleshed peach of its season, does not rotso readily when brown-rot is rife and hangs longer on the tree in goodcondition. It is not, however, quite so choicely good in quality asChampion, nor, on the Station grounds at least, are the trees quite asproductive. Other faults of Alton are that leaf-curl takes heavy toll onunsprayed trees, the blossoms open so early as often to be caught by springfrosts, and the peaches show great variation in size and shape and even in.
