Ray was the greatest money-maker of any of the white varieties this season. 
We picked this season, from 540 ten-year-old trees, four cars of fruit which 
sold for $3, $3.50 and $3.75 per six-gallon carrier. Ray should have a place in 
every orchard. 
Ray 
Ripens August 10 to 20. Creamy white skin, splotched with deep 
crimson and yellow. Flesh white and firm. Size large. Freestone. 
Ray is our own introduction, to which we give our unqualified 
stamp of approval. It ripens about the same time as Belle of Georgia, 
perhaps a little later, and seems to be fully as good a peach. 
ONE OF THE HANDSOMEST PEACHES 
You may say that people do not buy peaches to look at, and you're 
right. If Ray had no other good points, it would sell upon its appear- 
ance alone; but in addition to this it has a most delicious taste. 
Although the flesh is firm, it is always tender; while Ray peaches are 
juicy, they will stand a lot of handling. It takes more than a good 
appearance to sell peaches to the same person more than once. The 
appearance draws customers; the taste holds them; what better 
combination could you desire? 
A DANDY SHIPPER 
Ray can stand about as much handling and keep in good shape as 
any peach we ever saw. All peaches must be handled pretty tenderly, 
just because of the luscious qualities which make them so desirable, 
but Ray seems able to endure more rough treatment than the rest. 
Do not think that Ray is a novelty or an experiment! It has been 
thoroughly tested and is now being grown upon thousands of trees 
in numerous orchards. In fact we have planted many thousands of 
trees ourselves, which shows exactly how much confidence we have 
in it. When a new peach has been well tried out, the men who first 
plant it and are able to place it upon the market first, are the men who 
get the large profits. Peach-growing is profitable at all times, but when 
a desirable new sort comes into the market it may sell for a dollar a 
basket more than the older, well-known varieties. 
The white peach is considered by many people more tender than 
the yellow. Whether this is so or not, the idea is strong enough to 
make them demand white peaches. We prefer white peaches for 
table use and yellow peaches for preserving and canning.
