Neosho, Mo, 
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 
dehcious 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 httle 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. 
FBOM THE DEAN OP AMERICAN HOETI- 
CtTLTTJRISTS, — "The J. H. Hale ia very attractive, 
perfectly free, yellow flesh, good quality. I like the 
shape and general appearance of the peach. It should 
be a good market variety." — Prop. L. H. Bailet, 
Director, New York State College of Agriculture, Cor- 
nell University. 
ALTON An early midseason 
(White Semi-freestone) white-fleshed peach 
(Midseason) of Carman type, no- 
ted for its large size, 
good quality, and beauty. It is larger and a 
fittle later than Carman. The tfee is a very 
large, vigorous grower; hardy. 
ARP BEAUTY Earliest ripening 
(Yellow Semi-clingstone) yellow peach. It is 
(Early) round oval shape; 
juicy, sweet, and 
rich. No good in Georgia, according to Hale 
Orchard Co.'sexperience. An excellent peach 
for home garden. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA The best white 
(White Freestone) peach for home use 
(Midseason) and market. Belle 
is to white varieties 
what Elberta is to the yellow kinds, except 
that it has quality, which Elberta lacks. It 
is roundish oval, creamy white, with a bright 
red blush on the sunny side. Very httle fuzz. 
Flesh is firm, melting, and juioy; rich sugar- 
sweet. The tree is a large, vigorous grower, 
open spreading top, hardy and productive. 
We especially recommend the Belle as the 
best white peach of its season for home use 
and commercial planting. 
CARMAN One of the hardi- 
(White Somi-freestone) est, most widely 
(Early) planted early white 
peaches. Brilliant 
red, splashed with darker red on creamy back- 
ground; flesh ia 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 of soils.
