Pla7it 1 8 feet apart, 134 trees per acre. On sandy land plant 75 feet apart each way, requiring 



igj trees per acre. 



The best soil for peaches is a sandy loam, and trees should not be planted upon soil where the water 

 stands near or upon the surface. Spring is the best season for planting. Plant no deeper than the trees 

 stood in the nursery and make the soil very firm. All side branches should be cut back to within a few 

 inches of the main stem, the latter being severed at about two-thirds the distance from the ground. The 

 after culture is smiple, being merely to keep the surface always mellow and free of weeds. Unleached 

 wood ashes and pure ground bone are the proper fertilizers for the peach, and are best applied broadcast 

 in Spring and harrowed in. All varieties offered are freestone. 



I have tliis season a superb stock of one hundred thousand Peach trees— bright, 

 healthy, smooth, straight and handsome ; sure to please all who buy them. I use 

 only Southern ^fatural Pits from orig-inal seedling^ trees and grow them on land 

 where Peach trees have never g^rown before and are entirely free from any taint 

 of yellows or other disease. Please note also the very low prices at which I offer these 

 splendid trees. My list has been condensed so as to contain only the very best and 

 most reliable varieties — truly the cream of Peaches.

Beers* Smock {Smock Free). — Medium to large ; 

 yellow with dull-red cheek and an excess of down ; 

 flesh yellow and rather poor in quality. A regular 

 and enormously productive bearer; very profitable 

 in many sections. Very late. 



Carmen. — Of the same parentage as Elberta, 

 which it resembles both in fruit and habit of 

 growth, but ripens about five weeks earlier, or with 

 Early Rivers and Champion. Large, broad, oval; 

 largely over-spread with red; flesh creamy-white, 

 tender, juicy, of fine flavor; skin tough, unsur- 

 passed in freedom from rot and not excelled by 

 any for long-distance shipment. A most profitable 

 and reliable variety for market and the home gar- 

 den; the best in quality of any peach of its season. 

 The past season almost all other varieties were a 

 failure at Monmouth, but this variety yielded heav- 

 ily of superb fruit. See illustration. 



Champion. — Large and handsome; creamy-white 

 with red cheek; flesh creamy white, delicious, 

 sweet, rich and juicy. Exceeding hardy and a reg- 

 ular bearer. The best early white peach. The 

 best variety, ripening in early August, and one of 

 the most valuable of all peaches.

Dear Sir :— On the Fourth of July this vear. at my home, Montvale, N. J., I picked my first ripe 

 peach from trees bought from you. From that time till October 3d, our table has been supplied with 

 peaches ; all we needed besides marketing the overplus. I write this to show how satisfactory have been 

 the trees furnished by you and also to obtain the name of the extra early fruit mentioned above. 



Yours truly, C, H. Stocking.
