PEACHES 
For twenty-nine years we have been studying Peaches. During this period we have originated 
and introduced a large number of different kinds. We have throughout this period been growing 
nursery trees, and the trees which we are producing for our customers are better than ever before. 
Our land is particularly adapted to the growing of fine Peach stock, and we arc able to offer our 
customers the best trees that can be produced. They are well-grown, true to name,—in short “Quality 
trees” of the very best strains. 
Varieties of Peaches should be carefully selected, to have them adapted to the section where 
they are to be planted. This done, good trees planted on new land with good drainage, and care¬ 
fully cultivated, they bring quick returns, and are among the most satisfactory fruits that can be 
grown either for home use or for the market. 
The types of Peaches are as follows: Persian , commonly planted in the North. Northern 
Chinese, which includes Elberta and related varieties, generally planted in the cotton-belt; well 
adapted to western Florida. Spanish, native varieties that have originated in Florida and on the 
Gulf Coast; adapted to the latitude of northern Florida. Honey, comprising the Honey and its 
seedlings, adapted to northern Florida, southern Georgia and westward around the Gulf; Peen-to, 
comprising the original Peen-to and the varieties originated from it; well adapted to Florida, tropical 
and subtropical regions. Jewel, the most important commercial variety in the group. Oriental 
Bloods, Red Ceylon, adapted to the same range as Peen-to, and Japan Dwarf Blood to the same 
territory as the Honey Peach.

LIST TO AID SELECTION 
In assigning varieties to districts of wide area, there will be local exceptions, but the follow¬ 
ing lists are based on many years of somewhat extensive planting, experimenting, research and 
observation, and are as nearly accurate as we know how to make them. 
SUCCESSION OF RIPENING.—The terms “very early,” “early,” “midseason.” and “late,” 
in the following list (as indicated to the right of each variety by the abbreviations “VF,” “F,” 
“M,” “L”) indicate the comparative ripening time of the variety. 
EXPLANATION OF LIST.—The varieties best adapted and most valuable for market in a par¬ 
ticular section are indicated by **. Varieties next in order of merit by *.
