The ease with which Peach trees may be 
cultivated, their comparative freedom from 
disease, the short period before they become 
productive, with the immense demand for 
the fruit, and the facility with which it may 
be shipped to distant markets, make Peach- 
growing extremely profitable. To secure 
healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees the 
ground must be kept clean and mellow, and 
it should receive an occasional dressing of 
wood ashes. It should be remembered that 
Peaches are all borne on wood of the previ- 
ous season's growth, and that this makes it 
absolutely necessary to prune the tree year- 
ly, to remove dead branches, to let in light 
and air, and to keep the trees in good shape 
to produce bearing wood.

GENERAL LIST OF PEACHES 
We are especially anxious to corres- 
pond with you on large 
quantities peaches 
Cravirford's Early — A magnificent large yel- 
low peach of good quality. Its fine size, 
beauty and productiveness make it one of 
the most popular sorts. Early September. 
Champion — Creamy white, with red cheek, 
flavor delicious, sweet, rich and juicy; pro- 
ductive. August. 
Elberta — The great market peach. It is per- 
fectly hardy at the North, and is confi- 
dently believed by the most experienced 
growers of the North, to be one of the 
very best peaches for home use or market. 
Ripens after Crawford's Early. The great 
commercial peach of to-day. See cut. 
Mr. H. S. Wiley, Cayuga, N. Y.: 
Dear Sir: I am sending you to-day a 
ohoto of a branch of one of my Elberta 
trees you sold me three years ago. The 
actual diameter of the branch close to the 
stem is y^ of an inch and contains 65 per- 
fectly developed specimens at this date, 
Sept. 28. I have to support it by tying it up 
to the main trunk in two places. 
Very truly yours,
