Mr. and Mrs. E. I . I’liumphrey’s Peach Orchard on 
Highway 71. one mile south of Bentonville 
This block of peach trees was 
bought from us in February 1933. 
When he planted these trees they 
were small 1 to 2 ft. trees. When 
they were planted Mr. Phumphrey 
says they were so small that he 
could hardly see them and he placed 
a small stake at each tree to keep 
from plowing them up when culti¬ 
vating them. The above picture was 
made in Oct. 1934, only 20 months 
after he planted these small trees, 
and you will note they are taller 
than Mr. Phumphrey, who is a man 
more than six feet, and they have 
a spread of as much as their height. 
He had gathered one crop of peach¬ 
es from these trees when this picture 
was made. Only sixteen months 
after these small 1 to 2 ft. trees were 
plants, Mr. Phumphrey gathered 
ripe Peaches from them. These 
small trees, from us, grown here in 
the heart of the Ozark Mountains are 
so well rooted that they will grow as 
fast as weeds and make bearing trees 
within a few months. This root sys¬ 
tem grown in this fertile Mountain 
soil is responsible for all this life and 
pep. Compare these trees with any 
grown at other places and you will 
be convinced our trees will make 
twice the growth of others. Mail 
your order early while the list of var¬ 
ieties is complete.
