ROCHESTER 



Mr. C. E. Strawbridge, of Lima, Ohio, 

 writes us under date of August 25, 1920, 

 as follows: 



"On april 10, 1916, I set out one of 

 your new Rochester Peach trees. Last 

 year we picked 5 peaches from it, each 

 averaging the size of an average tea cup. 

 THIS YEAR WE HAVE PICKED EX- 

 ACTLY 403 LARGE PEACHES FROM 

 THIS ONE TREE. Many people have 

 seen this tree, and can hardly believe 

 their own eyes. One of its admirers was 

 Postmaster J. E. Sullivan, who wants 

 me to put him in touch with the "FEL- 

 LOWS WHO HAVE SUCH TREES 

 FOR SALE." 

 TREES planted in Spring, 1918, bore 150 to 200 peaches past summer. 



THE EARLIEST YELLOW FREESTONE PEACH KNOWN 



"Rochester is greatest money making peach in the world" Statement by 

 large orchardist. 



Originated in Rochester, New York, tree is a strong, upright grower, has stood 

 sixteen degrees below zero and produced a full crop, while the Elberta and 

 Crawford, under the same conditions in the same orchard, produced no blossoms 

 and consequently no fruit. 



Mr. Yarker, Greece, New York, who has an orchard of 500 trees, reports 17 

 peaches picked in August from a tree planted the previous spring. 



Mr. C. M. Thomas, 215 West 40th Street, Savannah, Georgia, purchased a, 

 Rochester Peach from us last February, and picked the first fruit in July. 

 We are headquarters for genuine Rochester Peach.

OUR TREES, HOW TO KNOW 

 THEM 



Photographs from Nature by Arthur L. Emer- 

 son, and a Guide to their Recognition by 

 Clarence M. Weed, D.Sc. 



This is a new and revised edition of Emerson 

 and VV'eed's standard work. A full-page 

 plate is devoted to each tree, showing its 

 form as a whole, and its foliage, bloom, and 

 fruit in detail. The new introductory mate- 

 rial tells the characteristics of the different 

 trees and how they change in Summer, Au- 

 tumn, Winter, and Spring, why they drop 

 their leaves, how they prepare the flower and 

 leaf buds for new growth. It explains how 

 to distinguish each species readily, and de 

 pea the rarer trees imported for landscape 

 gardening. Directions are given for aiding 

 trees to thrive and look their best. 149 illus- 

 trations. Flat 8vo. 293 pages. Ornamental

farmers have strips now lying fallow that 

 could be utilized in growing a crop of 

 Southern pine. If generally adopted it 

 would have wide influence oa the future of 

 the lumber industry in Louisiana. 



By lowering taxation on such lands to 

 an irreducible minimum the State will en- 

 courage the plan and the Forestry Depart- 

 ment will teach the boys how the work is 

 to be done. 



The first official act of the new board, 

 which met in the offices of Commissioner 

 M. L. Alexander, was to approve the ex- 

 penditure of one-half the annual appropri- 

 ation for forestry purposes for forest patrol 

 and fire protection. This will approximate 

 $30,000, the estimated income of that divi- 

 sion of conservation annually being $60,000. 



NEW YORK 



W/HITEFACE Mountain, one of the 

 most imposing and famous peaks of 

 the Adirondack region, is to be added to 

 the State Forest Preserve. This announce- 

 ment was made by Conservation Commis- 

 sioner George D. Pratt at a meeting of the 

 Commission recently. 



The purchase contains nearly 4,500 acres 

 of land, much of which is covered with 

 the original stand of virgin spruce for- 

 ests. Two years ago extensive lumbering 

 operations were commenced on the north- 

 ern side of the mountain with the result- 

 ant "slash," which constituted a serious 

 fire hazard. Acquisition of this property 

 by the State will prevent further lumbering 

 and insure the preservation of the White- 

 face forests. Not only will the sceniic 

 beauty of this conspicuous peak, which 

 dominates the Lake Placid region, remain 

 unmarred as the result of its purchase by 

 the State, but the whole area will be thrown 

 Open to the people for public recreation 

 purposes as in the case of other parts of 

 the Forest Preserve. 



OREGON 



/"OREGON has the largest amount of 

 standing timber of any State in the 

 Union. Over one-fifth of the nation's sup- 

 ply is within the boundaries of the State. 

 To safeguard this great asset, laws have 

 been enacted by the legislature which are 

 recognized as progressive and which place 

 Oregon among the few States having a 

 well thought out forest code. 



For nearly 10 years the State Board of 

 Forestry, which through its personnel, rep- 

 resents alike the public producer and con- 

 sumer, has confined its activities very large- 

 ly to fire prevention. This will continue to 

 be its principal task. The Board, however, 

 believes the time has arrived to outline a 

 definite policy looking to the future well- 

 being of the State and aimed at keeping 

 productive and bringing to a state of pro- 

 ductiveness vast areas best fitted for the 

 growing of successive forest crops. In 

 doing this the Board recognizes that it 

 should be concerned not alone with those
