The first ripen- ing begins in July anil successive crops are produced until the beginning of Nov. Fruit in all stages of devel- opment—ripe and half grown—may be seen upon the tree at the same time. Two-year-old trees bear freely. As ' the tree blossoms during a long period, a complete fail- ure of fruit can never happen. The fruit is creamy white, mottled and striped with light purple and with pink veins near the skin; very juicy, vinous, and quality very best. Freestone of the Indian type. No praise can do justice to this magnificent novelty. It is really one of the finest things we ever offered. Good size, prolific, best quality and bears continually for three months. What more can be desired? Fine trees, 30c. each; 3 for 75c; 7 for $1-50. Molderbaum—A new hardy Peach of enormous size. See our spring Catalogue, page 140. 35c. each.
