RELIABLE STANDARD VARIETIES. Alexander.—Very early, size good, handsome and regular in form, freestone. July. Crawford's Early.—Very beautiful, and the best yellow peach for market pur- poses ; fruit very large, oblong; skin yellow, with fine red cheek ; flesh yellow, juicy, sweet and excellent; wonderfully productive. Last of August. Elberta.—Large, yellow with red cheek, juicy and of high quality ; flesh yellow and melting. A very valuable sort. September. (Beer's) Smock.—Fruit medium to large; skin light orange ; yellow mottled with red; some specimens dry, others moderately juicy, rich, a good late market sort. Crosbey.—The fruit is of medium size, roundish in form, slightly flattened, with a distinct seam on the blossom end ; bright orange yellow, splashed with streaks of carmine on the sunny side, of beautiful appearance. It ripens between Early and Late Crawford. Lovett's White.—A very late white peach, claimed to have all the merits of the well known Late Heath Cling, with the additional merits of becoming a freestone and handsomer, hardier, ot better quality, and a more abundant and regular bearer, season late, color pure white, very large, flesh firm and sweet. Wonderful.—A new variety, color rich, golden yellow, largely overspread with carmine ; one of the latest freestone varieties ; of large size, possessing remarkable keeping qualities ; wonderfully productive. We think it possesses great merit, and hould be planted in every orchard.
