Carman - Large, white with blush. Vigorous grower; comparatively hardy in tree and buds.
Belle of Georgia - Large, white, red cheek; flesh white, juicy, excelent; pit free.
Champion - Flesh white, quality excellent, hardy in bud. One of the best for home use.
Old Mixon Free - Recognized as a standard variety in all parts of the state. Flesh white and of good quality.
Crosby - A reliable variety for home use, but too small for market, unless severely thinned. Yellow and of good quality.
