Peach Trees. 



This being one of our strongest specialties 

 we are second to none in the United States. We 

 have more peach trees in our nursery, at this 

 writing, than any other firm can show, and the 

 quality is among the best grown from natural 

 seed and on virgin soil, guaranteed free from any 

 taint of disease. Being located in a section where 

 there are but few peaches grown, only for family 

 use, you are taking no risk of being hit by a 

 Spaniard or affected by the yellow fever or mea- 

 sels. Being near the ocean you get the benefit 

 of the fresh air, which develoDS in a healthly 

 diet. 



WADDELL — This remarkable new peach 

 belongs to the North China type which is the 

 most hardy, vigorous and reliable of any class 

 we have. The tree is a heavy, stocky grower, 

 with the low, spreading habits so distinctive ot 

 its class, and while it is not quite so irregular as 

 Sneed, it is somewhat like it. Its fruit buds <ind 

 blossoms are among the most hardy, and twice 

 since 1890 it has produced a full crop of fruit 

 when other standard varietieb failed entirely. 



I believe, except in very rare instances, it 

 will prove to be a sure annual bearer, which jji 

 an exceedingly strong point in its favo^' 



Mr. Waddell, the originator, Writes me; 

 ^'The blossoms were frozen stiff one year and 

 yet it bore a crop of fruit when other varieties 

 were all killed.^ ^ 



''The fruit is of medium^ to large size, ob- 

 long, rich, creamy white with bright blush on 

 sunny side, often covering two-thirds of the 

 peach, skin thick, flesh firm, rich, sweet and 

 melting when fully ripe, freestone, almost as 

 large and fine in appearance as Belle of Geor- 

 gia or Oldmixon but ripens fully a month
