cipal losers are:

BURBANK'S LATEST A PEACH.
Juice and Color of Crawford Sur
round Small CoIorless Pit.


round Small Colorless Pit.
Santa Rosa - Horticulturists and
fruitgrowers are united in their praise
of the two new varities of peaches and
one of plums producted by Luther Bur-
bank, the plant wizard. Crosses of
the Crawford and Muir species have
resulted in fruit of greater CONNER
cial value. The Bartlett plum seed
ling is also betterment in shape, col
or and preponderance of flesh over pit.
Most of the juiciness and high color
of the Crawford peach has been trans
ferred by Burbank to the smaller and
frmer pit of the Muir. The color-free
pit of the Muir is also retained. The
vigor and ability of the new trees to
resist diseases is still another recon-
mendation of the Burbank creations.
E. J. Wickson, dean Of the college of
agriculture Of the University of Cali
fornia, pronounces the new variety ga
