June Budded Peach Trees. 



They are grown from natural Tennessee peach seed and on 

 land that has never grown peach trees, and they are clean and 

 healthy. 



A June budded tree is one that is budded in June, the same 

 season It sprouts from the seed. After be inar budded it is cutback 

 and makes a j4-rowth from July 1st to frost, the roots only beine-one 

 year's growth and the bud about 90 day's growth, this g-ivesus avrell 

 developed tree with lots of fibrous roots. Wheii taken ud the fibers 

 all come up and j'cu g-et the entire roots and tap root no"t cut. It is 

 of g-reat importance to have the tap root. There are orchards we 

 sold four years ago, June budded trees that bore a heavy crop the 

 past season. The customers -will not plant anything- but June 

 buds.

THE PEACH, 



In the peach excellence and beauty are combined, and if given the at- 

 tention due it, there is no tree that will give more delicious fruit. To the 

 person who has tasted the luscious fruit, no v^'ords of praise are needed to 

 make him appreciate the value of same. 



There is no fruit tree that can make as quick a return as the peach. 

 Give it reasonable attention and in three years from planting a fair crop 

 may be gathered, a few the second year, and the receipts from a good or- 

 . chard are something of importance. Sometimes it overloads its branches 

 with fruit i*equiring props, or far better for the owner who has the courage, 

 to thin the fruit and gain better peaches both in size and color, for which he Aviil receive a 

 much better price than the large quantity of small inferior ones.

 ORIGINATORS* DESCRIPTION.

GORDON. 



GORDON-This is the finest late peach in existence. It is of large size, beautiful yellow 

 color, firm texture and delicious fiavor. It ripens the latter part of September, and will keep 

 ■a-n^onth. It is unexcelled as a shipper, and could easily be shipped to Europe, its man> 

 ,good qualities make it the best of all late peaches for market or home use. To those growing 

 peaches for market we commend this varietv especially. It produced a large crop ot very 

 .perfect fruit in 1898, when all other late varieties failed. It seems to be proof against rot. 

 The fruit is unusually handsome, being a beautiful vellow of unusual richness. It coiors up 

 tiilly before ripening, and will keep for several weeks. It comes when all other marketable 

 peaches are gone, and hence has a clear field. It can be depended on to bring a big price— a 

 fancy price. It is the peach to plant now to make money. Plant a lew hundred or tew 

 thousand trees, and it will be like a gold mine to you in years to come.
