The exclusive control and proprietary right of the BANNER PEACH was secured by Greening Bros., March 22, 1898, at a cost of $2500.00 in Cash. The most valuable late ripening market peach yet introduced. Originated in the cold climate of Essex County, Canada, in 1875, from the pit of a large California peach, obtained at a fruit stand at Detroit, Mich.; the original tree, now over twenty years old, has borne 16 full crops of fruit, of mammoth size, deep yellow and shaded with beautiful red on the sunny ride. For ten years it was awarded diplomas and highest prizes at the Essex County Agr. Fairs. Season first of October, when no other variety of high quality and fine appearance is to be found in the markets. Quality and flavor equal to New Prolific and fully as productive. Tree hardy as the apple, and will succeed in cold climates where others fail. Pit small; flesh firm, golden yellow with rich, aromatic, sub-acid flavor. The best shipper for distant markets.
