LINN COUNTY NURSERY 
Peaches 
Hardy peaches is one of our leading specialties. The list of varieties we offer 
is the result of years experimenting in endeavoring to find varieties' hardy enough 
to endure the trying Iowa winters. Our greatest success has been with varieties 
originated here in Iowa. The following list cannot be excelled for hardiness. We 
do not claim that Peach trees are as hardy as plum and apple, but they have suc- 
ceeded in living through the most severe winters. While old trees were badly in- 
jured or killed last winter, younger trees survived and recovered from their injuries. 
Our trees are one year old and most of them wintered outside last winter. 
Our Peach trees are budded upon the hardiest stock in existence, namely, 
seedlings produced from seed of the Bailey peach grown here in Linn County. Plant 
them about a foot deeper than they stood in nursery, so that if the tree is ever 
killed back to the ground it will throw up a sprout from above where it was budded 
and thus renew the tree.
