Belle of Georgia, a seedling of Chinese Cling, is undoubtedly the best of .all, being a sort of white-fleshed Elberta, of superb texture and quality, that owing to its extreme hardiness and-many other excellent qualities, seems destined to entirely supersede the Oldmixon and others of that class and season. Now in the Hiley, a seedling of Belle of Georgia, we have a variety of great size and beauty, ripening two or three weeks before its parent. Tree a moderate grower, fruit-buds extremely hardy ; fruit of large size and much resembles the Belle, only being more highly colored on sunn}' side. Perfect free- stone, a long keeper and superb ship- per, ripening a week or more ahead of Mountain Rose. Being of such large size, exquisite color and as fine a shipper as the best of the later va- rieties, it has for the past two seasons sold for more money than any other Peach I grow, and I have taken thou- sands of trees of other good varieties and budded them over to Hiley; I couldn't wait for young trees to grow up to fruiting. Take my word for it—don't miss planting the Hiley ; it is a mone3'-niaker, sure !

Having fruited Frances for two j-ears here in Connec- ticut, I am sure it is every way superior to Late Crawford or any of its class. For
