Beatie, Atlanta, Josephine peach. (See page 9.) PEACHES, continued. CROSBY (Hale's Hardy, Excelsior). Medium size, round ; bright yellow, with crimson splashes and stripes, very attractive ; flesh bright yellow, red at the stone, juicy, mild, subacid, rich ; ripens just before Crawford's Late ; it is regarded as valuable principally for the unusual hardiness of its fruit buds. It is an abundant and regular bearer. CHAMPION. A western Peach of very large size (hav- ing measured 10 inches in circumference) and good quality ; also noticeable for the regularity of its bearing. Skin is of a rich, creamy white, with a red cheek ; flesh creamy white, sweet and delicious, rich and juicy. It ripens at its home in Illinois about August 5. It resem- bles Lovett's White, except that it has a little color and is much earlier. We know of no other white Peach that is so fine as this, or of one which ripens so early, and the fact that Champion is so hardy as to produce a crop when all others fail, renders it of great value and makes it very popular with growers.
