PEACHES 
Here in the South the 
climate and soil work to¬ 
gether to produce the finest 
Peaches grown anywhere. 
From your own garden you 
get the best Peaches, for the 
fruit becomes fully ripe on 
the tree. Peaches can be 
grown readily in small gar¬ 
dens just as well as in large 
commercial orchards. 
On page 26 we list the 
varieties that experience has 
proved to be best adapted to 
general Southern planting. 
The area has been divided 
into four zones, and the 
approximate time of ripening 
is given. This plan will help 
you to select varieties suited 
to your own locality—for 
instance. Jewel Peach is 
adapted to Central and 
Southern Florida and tropical 
climates, and ripens the 
latter part of May. 
GRAPES That Thrive in the South 
Thomas Grapes 
All Grapes that grow in the open ground are descended from the wild 
Grapes of field and forest. By crossing varieties and by selection over a long 
period of time, we now have varieties that freely yield large, well-filled bunches 
in both the Muscadine and Bunch Grape classes. We recommend the varieties 
listed on page 26.
