Elberta Extra Early Variety MAYFLOWER—Medium size, prac- tically red all over; ilesh firm and of good flavor; extremely valuable as a very early market sort espe- cially in southern states. Tree blooms very late; upright and good grower; prolific bearer. Earliest known. S-Cling. Early Varieties EARLY WHEELER—Semi-cling. Ripens about a week after Mayflower. Of good size, flesh firm, meaty and of fine texture. Color pink- ish white on under side and bright crimson next to sun. This is the best peach of its season, and is the first peach to ripen that really comes up to the standard of a first class peach. RED BIRD CLING (Very Early)—As large as Elberta, strikingly handsome and the first big peach that is ready for market. A sen- sation everywhere; bright glowing red on a background of creamy white; flesh firm, making it an ideal shipper. Early in the season people are fruit hungry and these big handsome peaches bring prices that are almost unbelievable. W. A. Jeffers, a well known Arkansas orchardist, got as high as $ per bushel for Red Bird. The advent of this glorious peach makes possible tre- mendous profits. It is so superior to Sneed, Alexander and other poor quality, soft, wa- tery peaches ripening same time. MAMIE ROSS—Freestone, very early, white. The Mamie Ross is a large oval peach with a bright red cheek. The flesh is creamy white, juicy, very firm and the skin tough, making it an unusually good shipping peach for its season. The flavor is rich and extra good. The best quality, very early peach. ALTON. EARLY WHITE FREESTONE—Magnifi- cent white fleeced freestone peach that is larger than Carmen, better quality than Champion and handsomer than any picture ever painted. One of the sweetest and most luscious peaches, and no tree
