Peach Trees on Yunnan Nematode 

 Resistant Root Stock 



YUNNAN Peach ROOT STOCK is proving almost 100% resistant to the devastating effects of ROOT 

 NEMATODE. Every orchardist in those areas affected by Peach Root Nematodes should plant trees they 

 know to be grown on Nematode resistant root stock. TREES GROWN ON YUNNAN ROOT STOCK MEANS: 

 LONGER LIVED TREES IN THE ORCHARDS ; LARGE CROPS AND LARGER FRUIT DURING THE EN- 

 TIRE LIFE OF THE TREE— RESULTING IN GREATER INCOME TO THE GROWER. TREES GROWN 

 ON YUNNAN ROOT STOCK WILL MEAN THE REVIVAL OF PLANTINGS IN MANY SECTIONS WHERE 

 Peach Root Nematode have made it impossible to grow a successful peach orchard in many sections of the 

 Southern areas. 



VARIETIES AVAILABLE IN YEARLING TREES ONLY 

 FOR FALL 1950— SPRING 1951 



We have budded more than 55,000 Yunnan seedlings this year (1950) to a selected list of varieties of 

 wide adaptation so that those having difficulty in growing peaches because their soils are infested with the 

 Peach Root Nematode may buy these trees and again produce peach fruits. VARIETIES AVAILABLE FOR 

 FALL 1950 and SPRING 1951.

RESISTANT ROOT STOCK. 



Add 10c per tree to all prices as listed on page 15 on whatever grade or quality of trees you select and 

 wish on Yunnan root stock. This extra charge is made necessary because of the difficulty in securing true 

 Yunnan seed for growing purposes and only represents about the actual additional cost to us in producing 

 trees on Yunnan root stock.

COMMENT 



Nematodes during the past several years have spread rapidly from south to north and have been found 

 in Connecticut and Massachusetts and all points in between. So badly has the soil become infested that 

 many farmers are treating the soil to kill the destructive pest. 



Land which has been farmed to legumes seems to be more infested than soils which have been cultivated 

 annually. The investigation of complaints covering the loss of peach trees over wide areas invariably show 

 nematodes as a contributing factor to the loss, except those cases brought on by bad farming practice or 

 careless planting conditions. 



Yunnan Nematode Resistant Root Stock up to now has been the best insurance against losses in peach 

 trees. We have many fields growing successfullv today which were unable to support a peach orchard 5 

 years ago, due to nematode infestation. IT PAYS TO PROTECT YOUR ORCHARD NO MATTER WHERE 

 YOU PLANT.
