FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL NURSERY STOCK 



PEACHES, continued 



McCALLISTER. Ripens Sept. 1-10. Immense 

 size; yellow. Free. 



MOORE'S FAVORITE. Ripens first week in 

 August. Large; white, with blushing rather red 

 cheek; flesh white, tender and juicy. Free. When 

 trees have a good chance, results are wonderful. 

 The largest white Peach picked in our test orchard 

 was of this variety. 



MOUNTAIN ROSE. Ripens in early August. 

 Fruit large, round; white, with much red in several 

 shades; flesh white, with a red stain at the stone; 

 juicy, rich, tender and sweet. Free. This is one of 

 the best known of the older varieties, and in many 

 ways has never been surpassed in size, quality and 

 beauty. The fruit is firm and sohd, and stands 

 shipping well, so that it is possible always to put it 

 in market in first-class condition. It is a favorite 

 with many housewives for canning and preserving 

 and always commands the best prices. 



NEW PROLIFIC. Ripens Aug. 25-Sept. 1. 

 Large; yellow. Free. 



NDVGARA. Ripens Aug. 25-Sept. 1. A hand- 

 some, large, yellow Peach with a beautiful red cheek, 

 making it one of the most attractive. The flesh is 

 tender, rich and juicy, ripening clear to the pit. 



OLDM IXON FREE. Ripens middle of 



August. Fruit 



large; pale yellow, with good red cheek; flesh white, 

 with red stain at the stone; tender, rich and excel- 

 lent. Free. Tree fine and large, and does well in a 

 great variety of situations. 



Ripens Aug. 10-25. Some- 

 times a nurseryman's en- 

 thusiasm gets the better 

 of him when he attempts to 



teU of the quahties of a 



new variety. We beheve in the Ray, and we are 

 enthusiastic about it, but we want to be strictly 

 truthful. It has been tested thoroughly, as growers 

 in the eastern, central and western states have large 

 numbers of Ray trees. We have thousands of bear- 



RAY. 



Mamie Ross Peach is similar to Carman, but a little larger 



Greensboro Peach 



ing trees in our own orchards here in Berlin, and 

 elsewhere in Maryland and West Virginia, and our 

 experience with these trees makes us all the more 

 sure of our position in recommending it. Experi- 

 enced orchardists tell us that the Ray Peach is in a 

 class by itself, and that its range of territory is un- 

 usually large. The fruit is extremely large; the skin 

 is creamy white, deeply tinted with crimson and 

 shades of yellow. It is one of the handsomest 

 Peaches we have ever seen. Flesh white, with no 

 stain at the stone; firm, of the most excellent qual- 

 ity, juicy, delicious, tender, and keeps well. An 

 excellent shipper, of fine appearance, even after 

 much handling. Trees exceedingly strong growers, 

 shapely and symmetrical. 



The George B. Booker Co., Wilmington, Del., wrote 

 us as follows about the Ray: "Your carton of magnifi- 

 cent Ray Peaches came to hand this morning, and we 

 must say they are handsome specimens. In our long 

 years of experience we have handled many a Peach, 

 but can truthfully say that we have never seen more 

 beautiful ones than these; and the quality of this 

 Peach is certainly superior to anything coming from 

 any section at the present time." 



We can show you many letters written in the 

 same strain. There is no question about the Ray — 

 it is the Peach for all purposes, and the orchardist 

 who sets a large acreage is simply showing good 

 common business sense. We would not recommend 

 this variety so highly unless we were sure of the 

 position it holds now and will hold for years to 

 come. The illustration on the back cover was 

 made from a specimen picked on August 10, 1914, 

 and photographed on August 12. 



REEVES' FAVORITE. Ripens middle of Aug. 

 Large or extra-large fruit; round; yellow with beau- 

 tiful red cheek; flesh deep yellow, red at stone, juicy 

 as a melon; of excellent flavor.
