Hardy Fruits 



The following varieties are selected for the home fruit garden rather than for commercial planting. 

 We all remember how delicious those peaches tasted that our country friend picked from his choicest 

 trees, and while we ate, told us just why that particular variety was better than all others. 



It is possible for the city or suburban family to select an assortment of fruits that will supply their 

 table from the time the first cherries ripen until mid-Winter, when they enjoy the spicy Stayman Winesap 

 before the friendly glow of the open fire. 



The home fruit garden can easily be made a part of the whole scheme of beautifying your property. 

 The snow-white cherry blossoms appear soon after the frost is out of the ground, then come the plum and 

 peach, especially the Carman with gorgeous bouquets of large pink flowers. Following these are the apple 

 and pear, which seem to vie with each other in profusion of bloom. There is much satisfaction in watching 

 the growth of these trees that brighten the landscape in Spring and later supply delicacies to please both 

 eye and palate
