CREAM OF THE OLDER PEACHES. Crawford's Early.—A mag- nificent, large yellow peach of good quality. Tree vigorous and prolific ; its size, beauty and pro- ductiveness make it one of the most popular varieties. Season beginning of September. This valuable peach lias long been a popular favorite for large size beauty and quality of fruit. Most people when theybuy peaches ask for Crawfords, knowing but little about any other a variety. In past years this was the earli- est peach but now much earlier kinds are known, hence it is about mid-season in ripening. Everybody who plants peach trees plant more or less Early Crawford. It is of high quality and possessed of great beauty. It is also a heavy cropper. Indeed, the fruit Heeds to be thinned in many instances. Of late we have learned that by thinning the peach early we increase the size, quality and beauty of those which are left, and still have as many bushels of fruit as though all had been left on the tree. Foster.—Large: yellow, with red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy, a good flavor. Resembles Craw- ford's Early, but is a few days earlier; freestone
