Peaches like these bring fancy prices 



Our Profitable Peach-Orchard 



A net profit of more than $43,000 in two years from 100 acres of land 

 is a pretty good income, don't you think? 



We thought that we were getting high prices for Peaches, in the season 

 of 1913, when our crop of sixty-two cars netted us more than $25,000, 

 but our crop o'f 1914 brought even better prices, the forty-two cars selling 

 for a sufficient sum of money to make a net profit of more than Si 8,000. 



The same orchard at the time this price-list goes to press is heavily laden 

 with fruit. 



You can make your orchard just as profitable, if you have the RIGHT 

 LAND and the RIGHT TREES, and give them proper care. Let us tell 

 you how Tve succeed. 



The Peaches, shipped in carload lots, all are packed in six-basket carriers 

 containing about three pecks of Peaches. Attractive labels, such as 

 those shown in the above photograph, were used on all carriers con- 

 taining select fruit. 



Many of our Peaches sold on the market at from $3.00 to $3.50 per 

 carrier. After deducting freight, icing charges, etc., the net price to us 

 was from S2.50 to S2.80 per carrier. 



The Peaches are packed with great care. They are graded into three 

 sizes, observing the regular three-tier, or two-and-one-half-tier pack. Only 

 ripe, well-developed, high-colored fruit is shipped. 



We sell to large dealers we are acquainted with in northern cities, some 

 of whom come to our orchards and buy the Peaches as they are loaded. 

 When f.o.b. prices seem too low, we ship to reputable commission houses 

 and let the quality of the fruit be the test, and we usually get full value, 

 according to quality of fruit placed in the carriers. 



We aim to pick the fruit after the dew is off, when it is dry and clean, 

 and get it into the cold cars as quickly as possible. 



Peach-growing is a profitable and safe business if you apply up-to-the- 

 minute business methods. The introduction of self-boiled lime and sulphur 

 for spraying Peaches not only controls disease, but preserves the Peaches 

 while growing on the tree, so when picked and placed in iced cars, they 

 can be kept for days in safety, especially such varieties as Belle of Georgia, 

 Champion, Ray, Elberta, Crawford, all of which show quality and firmness.
