Jewel Peach. PRUNUS Persica.* D. The Peach. The Persian type does not succeed in Florida, but from the more newly introduced Chinese varieties gen- eral success is had. The Peach delights in rich, well-drained soil, and in constant cultivation dur- ing the growing season. The following are the best for Florida : Angel. Large ; yellow skin, washed with red ; flesh white and of exquisite flavor, entirely free of noyau flavor. Ripens in June. Bidwell's Early. A seedling of Peen-to, with creamy white skin, washed carmine ; clingstone. Matures with the Peen-to. Jewel. Almost identical with Waldo, but ripens a week or ten days earlier. Very favorable reports have been received from growers of this fruit during the past season. A fine acquisition for market. Oviedo. An excellent new Peach of medium size, highly colored ; flesh light; freestone. Ripens early in July. Peen-to. Flat Peach of China. The pioneer of this strain of Peach, and delicious in quality if well grown. If not fertilized properly, or if attacked by root-knot, the fruit is quite bitter. Ripens very early. Red Ceylon. Our introduction from Ceylon. A fair-sized fruit, blood-red around the pit ; skin greenish, with a red overcast; a perfect freestone, with fine acid flavor, making it the best of all for cooking and canning. It is excellent for the table when dead ripe. Bears tremendously, and never has a touch of noyau flavor. Early. Waldo. An early Peach, supposed to be a hy- brid of Peen-to and Honey. Medium size, hand- some and best quality ; freestone. Ripens with Peen-to. «»~Priceof fine, medium-sized trees, 3 to 4 feet (all sorts), 15 cts. each, $ per doz., $10 per 100; 2 to 3 feet, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $8
