FRUIT 
During the past few years a great number of large 
commercial orchards have been neglected; so much 
so they are now considered worthless. It’s also a 
fact during the past few years very little planting of 
orchards has been done. During the Spring and Fall 
of 1933 planting picked up some yet it’s true that 
nurserymen discontinued propagating fruit trees and 
no extensive plantings could be made in a commer¬ 
cial way. With these facts before us, we feel reason¬ 
ably safe in recommending the planting of commer¬ 
cial orchards at this time if the trees are available. 
To those not interested in commercial orchards, and 
have not already made sufficient plantings to be 
assured of plenty of fruit for home use and local 
markets, I am sure will be interested in reducing the 
costs of living expenses by planting now fruit trees, 
small fruit plants, Asparagus, Rhubarb, etc. The 
saving in living expenses in the near future from 
TREES 
such plantings will be surprising, to say nothing of 
the health gained by being privileged to work out in 
the open with nature during a part of your spare 
time after discharging regular daily obligations. 
We are offering you only a limited number of va¬ 
rieties, ones that you can depend upon giving a good 
crop of fruit if properly cared for. We do not and 
never did think it a good policy to propagate in our 
nurseries a large number of varieties when we are 
convinced that a few of the best will make better 
fruit for the home owner and more money for com¬ 
mercial growers. 
To succeed in growing fruit, first of all plant good 
trees and plants. Give them proper cultivation, fre¬ 
quent spraying, good fertilization, correct pruning, 
careful picking and attractive packing. By so doing 
your orchard should give you a profit year after 
year.

U. S. Plant Patent No. 51 
THE “FUZZLESS” PEACH. A BLAZE OF GLORIOUS COLOR 
See illustration, fourth cover page 
This remarkable Peach was discovered by 
Mr. A. T. Gossman in an orchard near Tonas- 
ket, Washington, in late August, 1927. It has 
been tested thoroughly over a period of six 
years before a Plant Patent was obtained. The 
marvelous color of the fruit attracts attention 
while some distance away. Gives the appear¬ 
ance of deep red Apples due to the exception¬ 
ally smooth skin which is nearly free of fuzz 
or down. It was found to have excellent flavor 
and so firm that it proved a good shipper. Can 
be left on the tree until thoroughly tree ripen¬ 
ed, thus assuring the consumer of a Peach with 
tree-ripe flavor. This is very important as most 
varieties of Peaches must be picked green in 
order to withstand shipping. As a result they 
often arrive on the market somewhat withered 
and with inferior flavor. Averages 20 per cent 
higher prices over other Peaches on the market. 
To sum up, the Candoka Peach has the fol¬ 
lowing characteristics: 
COLOR—Deep yellow to flaming red, this bril¬ 
liant color is very striking. 
SKIN—Nearly as smooth as a Nectarine, it has 
been described as “Fuzzless.” 
SIZE—Very large, about the same as J. H. Hale. 
FLAVOR—Excellent, sweet and pleasing, simi¬ 
lar to the Hale but without the slightly bit¬ 
ter after taste of that variety. 
YELLOW FREESTONE—Exceptionally firm, 
almost as solid as a clingstone. It can be 
left on the tree until almost tree ripe before 
picking for shipment. 
SHIPPING QUALITIES—The best we have ob¬ 
served in any freestone Peach. 
RIPENING SEASON—About the same as J. H. 
Hale. 
Trees very hardy. The original tree has with¬ 
stood a Spring frost that killed the blossoms on 
a J. H. Hale tree adjoining—whereas the 
Candoka bore a full crop. We believe it is the 
most valuable Peach ever discovered.
