y in appearance and the trees are not qtoite as productive.Kalamazoo ripens with Late Crawford and could well compete with thatvariety for the trees are hardier in wood and bud and are much moreproductive. The variety falls short, however, in the size of the peaches,these running no larger than a medium Late Crawford, though possibly thisdefect cotild be remedied by thinning. The fruits are of highest qualityeither for dessert or ciolinary purposes. The trees are susceptible to leaf-curl and must be thoroughly sprayed for this fungus. The variety is grownrather extensively in Michigan and is well known in parts of New York. Kalamazoo originated with J. N. Stearns, Kalamazoo, Michigan,about 1869, as a sprout from below the bud on a Yellow Alberge tree.It first fruited in 1871 and was exhibited that year at the Michigan StateFair where it received a premium as the best seedling peach. TheAmerican Pomological Society placed Kalamazoo in its fruit-list in 1899where it still remains. ^^Ns^
