Specimens were sent us for examination, and we were so much pleased with it that we ar- ranged to propagate it after testing the fruit and examining the tree. Fruit above medium, pale yellow, mostly covered with red; oval, flesh rich creamy yellow, sweet, very juicy, of highest flavor. Did not rot at all. When fully ripe, skin pulls off as easily as on a scalded tomato, and juice drops off fingers when eating. Flesh almost as melting as banana, covering a small seed. Tree seems to be a vigorous grower and heavy bearer. Ripens about 20th of August Fifty cents each. EMMA—Described by the originator as being very large, yellow, with light crim- son cheek; flesh yellow, fine grained, very juicy, quality among the best; a free-stone. In maturity, it follows immediately after Elberta. Where this peach has been shipped to the market it has always commanded an extra price over the other varieties. It is better in quality than Elberta. As this valuable variety comes from the home of the Elberta, fruit-growers should not hesitate to make a thorough trial of this at once. We believe that it is a variety that will do well with us. Twenty-five cents. CARMAN—Large, creamy white, with deep blush; sl^in very tough; fiesh tender and of fine flavor, juicy; prolific bearer; profitable and popular market variety. Fine shipper. Ripe June 20th. CRAWFORD'S EARLY—Large, yellow, with red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy and rich. A standard market variety. Ripe from 5th to 15th of July. CRAWFORD'S LATE—Similar to above, but usually larger and two weeks la
