There is now scarcely a State throughout the northeastern, middle, western, south- 
ern, and southeastern portions of the United States that cannot and does not raise this 
delicious fruit in its highest perfection for home use and commercially. 
A congenial climate, judicious selection of location, soil, and varieties, with intelligent 
culture, grading, and marketing, bring the commercial grower high average profits. 
Fresh ripe home-grown peaches over a season of nearly three months are a luxury 
that may be had at little expense. They can be grown almost as far north as apples and 
will succeed farther south. They thrive on heavy clay soil or on soil that is nine-tenths 
coarse sand. You can never know how good peaches taste until you pick them fully 
ripened from your own trees. Plant largely of mid-season and late varieties, but include 
enough of the earlier and very late kinds to provide an ample supply throughout the 
season.

ALTON 
(White Semi-freestone) 
(Midseason) 
An early midseason, 
white - fleshed peach 
of Carman type, no- 
ted for its large size, 
gooa quality, and beauty. It is larger and a 
little later than Carman. The tree is a verj' 
]arge, vigorous grower; hardy. 
ARP BEAUTY Earliest ripening yel- 
(Yellow Semi-clingstone) 1 o w peach, it is 
(Early) round oval shape; 
juicy, sweet, and 
rich. The tree is vigorous and so productive 
that it is sometimes necessary to thin the fruit 
to prevent overbearing. An excellent peach for 
home garden and market. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA The best white peach 
(White Freestone) forhomeuseand mar- 
(Midseason) ket. Relle is to white 
varieties what El- 
berta to the yellow kinds, except that it has 
quality, which Elberta lacks. It is roundish 
oval oreamv white, witha bright red blush on 
the sunnv side. Very little fuzz. Flesh is firm, 
melting, and juicy ; rich sugar-sweet. The tree 
is a large, vigorous grower, open spreading top, 
hardy and productive. We especially recom- 
mend the Belle as the best white peach of its 
season for home use and commercial i)lantmg. 
CARMAN One of the hardiest, 
(White Semi-freestone) most widely planted 
(Early) early white peaches. 
Brilliant red, splash- 
ed with darker red on creamy background; flesh 
is tender, juicy, good quality for a peach of its 
season. Its chief asset is a constitution which 
enables it to stand a trying climate both North 
and South; thrives on a great variety ot soils. 
Belle of Georgia— The best white peach.
