We have made growing Peach Trees a specialty for 20 years and carry probably the largest assort- 

 ment of varieties, and have grown more Peach for the last 20 years than any firm in America. Our 

 doors are open for all prospective buyers to visit us and look over our stock at any time. 



From the planting of the Peach seed (naturals), which are the best, the growing of Peach has our 

 personal attention. The budding is done under the direction of a competent man. The buds are care- 

 fully selected.
