J. H. HAI.I: PEACH. 



This peach is enormously productive, 

 fruit of largest size, fully one-half larger 

 than Elberta, globular like best specimens 

 of Reeves Favorite, only far larger than 

 that showy variety when at its very best. 

 Color, a deep, golden yellow, overlaid with 

 bright carmine, except a very little on 

 under side. Smooth, solla, thick skin, tight- 

 ly drawn over the solid flesh, a peach with- 

 out the fuzz, absolutely distinct in this 

 respect. This one feature alone puts it in 

 a class by itself, always to be remembered. 

 Ripens three days to a week ahead of El- 

 berta.' Its commercial value is greatly en- 

 hanced by the fact that it colors up all 

 over a week or ten days before fully grown 

 and matured, and that these undeveloped 

 fruits are of larger size than big Elbertas, 

 and if picked will in time mellow up and 

 become good edible peaches, so that an ex- 

 tra early picking can be started and the 

 season greatly lengthened, especially owing 

 to solidity and firmness of flesh, fully ma- 

 tured specimens can be allowed to remain 

 much longer upon the tree than can any 

 other known variety, and so extend the 

 season at either end. Price, $1.00 each.

JAPANESE SUGAR CANE. 



The want of an abundant supply of 

 green forage is the one great need to the 

 production of more and better live stock In 

 the South. To produce a good grade of live 

 stock an abundance of good feed must be 

 supplied. The forage to grow, is one that 

 will produce the best yield per acre and 

 that will supply the largest amount of nu- 

 trition, as well as being palatable. 



Japanese Cane is both nutritious and 

 palatable, and also makes the largest yields 

 of any forage crop; is easy to plant, and 

 one planting lasts several years, which is a 

 big item in the expense of production. 



It produces from thirty to forty tons to 

 the acre. Can be planted from November 

 to March, but the very best results are ob- 

 tained by early planting. 



Should be planted in seven or eight foot 

 rows, and the cane lapped in the row, that 

 is two rows of cane in each row. Japanese 

 Cane is relished by all kinds of live stock, 

 and can be either pastured, put into silo, 

 stacked into shed or banked in the field. 

 Stalks for seed run from four to six feet 

 in length. 



Even 100 stalks will give you a good 

 start, and every owner of stock should 

 grow it. Grows anywhere that Velvet 

 Beans will mature. 



Stalk will average five joints, and each 

 joint will grow from five to ten stalks. 



100 stalks will weigh 100 pounds. 



Japanese is a true sugar cane, has no- 

 seed is only grown by planting the stalks. 



Prices: $2.00 per 100; $18.00 per 1,000.
