PEACHES ON APRICOT ROOT 
We offer peaches on apricot root for 
the benefit of those growers whose soil 
is infested with nemotode. The 
apricot is highly resistant to nematode 
injury, and by its use, successful peach 
orchards can be developed regardless 
of how badly infested your soil may be. 
We offer the following varieties at no 
increase in price:—
