LATE CRAWFORD LOLA 177 Elberta because of the greater productiveness of the Elberta tree and the showier Elberta fruits, and now, though widely distributed, is nowhere largely planted and seems likely to pass out of cultivation as a peach of commerce. Unproductiveness and tardiness in coming in bearing are the faults on account of which Late Crawford is failing. Itself adapted to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions, Late Crawford, through the recurring variations from seed, has made the Crawford family the most cosmopolitan of the several distinct races of American peaches.

The fruit is not sufficiently attractive in appearance to sell well in the markets; it is too thin-skinned to ship or keep well; but the quality is very good, the flavor being sweet, rich and delicious. It is an excellent peach for culinary purposes, having the reputation of making a handsomer canned product than any other peach. Lemon Free is little grown in the eastern states, but it is one of the leading sorts of its season in California. This variety seems to have originated in Ohio, about 1885, but nothing is known of its parentage, originator, or introducer. Tree very large, vigorous, upright-spreading, dense- topped, hardy. Leaves 7 inches long, 1% inches wide, obovate-lanceolate, thick, leathery ; margin finely serrate; teeth tipped with reddish-brown glands; petiole ^ inch long, with 2-6 large, reniform, reddish-brown glands. Flowers midseason, medium size, pale pinlt. Fruit late midseason; 2^ inches in diameter, round-oval; cavity medium to deep, wide, flaring, often mottled with red: suture shallow, becoming deeper at the apex and extend- ing beyond; apex mucronate to round-mamelon, re- curved ; color green or golden-yellow, with a faint blush and mottled w
