Exp.^St'n, 1895, bore 9 times as much as Mt. Rose, yet was 15% larger; in 96, productiveness 10 —ranking perfect, mc. NCS. Prof. Munson says: ((A magnificent, white flesh, red cheek free. Resembles Amelia, but better.)) Best Peach of its Season—Aug. 1 to 10. Very hardy, immensely productive; notwithstanding the heavy crops it naatures, isal^vaysof good size. Best new peach; and, strange to say, nobody has pushed it.—Pres't E. A. Riehl, III. Later, Aug. 16, '97: Rec'd Alton some years ago from a friend who praised it very much. Has given me more and better crops since I've had it than any other peach on the place. I Endorse It Without Reserve.—E. A. Riehl. Have fruited Alton 8 years, and there is nothing in So. 111. that will bear ANNrALLY such large crops of line shaped, large, beautiful peaches. Very hardy in bud and bloom. Rec'd it from Tex. with a dozen other new varieties, including the then new Elberta,—none of which proved exceptionally fine but Alton and Elberta. Tex. Exp. St'n: Ripe June 27th—4 days before Mt. Rose. Tree vigorous, productive. A valuable peach.—Prof. Price. Mich. Exp. St'n, '96: Of 216 kinds, 68 ripened in Aug.—only 13 of which ranked 9 to 10 in productiveness. .
