Sprajing in a Si,ooo-an-acre Delaware apple orchard 



Harrison's Ray Peach orchard in September, 19 n 



tender, and keeps well. An excellent shipper, of fine appearance, even after much handling. Trees exceed- 

 ingly strong growers, shapely and symmetrical. Old Peach orchardists would be surprised to see how quickly 

 they attain good size. A regular bearer of big crops. Beyond a doubt, Ray is in a class by itself, over a 

 vers' large range of territory and conditions. It has been tested thoroughly, as growers in eastern, central 

 and western states have large numbers of Ray trees. We have thousands of bearing trees in our own 

 orchards here in Berlin and elsewhere in Maryland and West \'irginia, and our experience with these trees 

 makes us all the more sure of our position in recommending it. Our i.ooo trees of four years' gro^^■th gave 

 a full crop and netted us more than S2.40 a bushel, season of 191 1.

 yellow varieties, season of 191 1.
