PIGFORD NURSERIES, LUMBERTON, MISSISSIPPI 
With well directed effort and intelligent care there is no small investment 
that will return so great a dividend as a HOME ORCHARD of fruits 
and nuts. 
Set out trees this season so you and your family may enjoy choice fruit next 
season. Sooner you get them out the sooner you will have fruit to eat. 
PEACHES 
Every garden, lot or farm should have a few peach 
trees for family use, as well as commercial. Several va¬ 
rieties ripening in succession should be set, in this way, 
have fresh peaches from May 15th to September 15th. 
Only those who have experienced it know the joy and 
profits of having peaches direct from the trees for home 
use and to give friends, as well as to sell or to can. 
OUR TREES are grown by us in our nurseries. By 
using rich, fertile, new land, best foundation stock; by proper care, fertilization and 
cultivation we have very choice stock. We have selected only the best tried varieties 
which we unhesitatingly recommend for the Home Orchard which ripen in the order 
named below. 
MAYFLOWER is the earliest peach to ripen. It is a cling;, large, with red blush. Being 
first on market is a ready seller. 
EARLY ROSE —One of the best early varieties. Blooms late, therefore misses the late 
frO'Sts. Fine, large, juicy, very heavy bearer, firm. Has fine red blush; cling. Ripens in early 
June. 
RED BIRD CLING —Very fine, ripening in June. Flesh firm, red to seed. Cling. 
HI LEY BELLE —Begins to ripen before the Carmen is gone. Very red blush. Flesh, firm, 
excellent, when ripe creamy white. Freestone. 
“The trees I bought are doing fine—some of them had fruit on them this season. I hope 
to be able to get more the coming season. As soon as your new catalogs get out send me 
one.”—Miss.
