PEACHES, continued 
trees must necessarily be healthy anti vigorous. We have been growing summer-budded peaches 
for years, and they have given best kind of results. 
Our t rees are true to name under which we ship them. A rather important point, too, as or- 
chardists are well aware, who, after going to the expense and time of bringing trees into bear¬ 
ing, have had to cut out a large portion of the trees on account of being untrue. 
In planting Peaches, it must be borne in mind that it is of utmost importance that proper 
varieties are selected for the particular section in which they are to be grown. While a few 
varieties can be successfully grown over a more or less widely extended area, most varieties are 
limited in their range of adaptability. 
There are several different classes or types of Peaches, as follows: Persian , which includes 
a large number of varieties most commonly grown in the North, and comparatively few of which 
are adapted to Florida or the Gulf coast country. Northern Chinese , which includes Elberta and 
many other fine varieties adapted to most of the country generally spoken of as the “Cotton 
Belt,” but with northern Florida as about the southern limit of adaptability. Spanish , which in¬ 
cludes many native varieties that have originated in Florida and the Gulf-coast country, and 
which are for the most part fine Peaches, but better adapted to the latitude of North Florida than 
to that of South Florida. Honey , which includes the parent Honey and numerous varieties that 
have originated from it, the range of best adaptability being from half-way down the state of 
Florida northward to middle Georgia, and similar latitudes farther west to the Mexican border. 
Peen-to, which includes the original tomato-shaped Peen-to as well as the regular peach-shaped 
varieties that have originated from it, best adapted to Florida and similar semi-tropical and 
tropical latitudes. Oriental Bloods , which include the Red Ceylon, adapted to the same range as 
the Peen-to type; and the Japan Dwarf Blood, adapted to the same range of territory as the 
Honey type. 
To better enable our customers to select varieties adapted to their particular sections, we 
give the following carefully prepared 
LISTS TO AID SELECTION 
In assigning varieties to districts of wide area there will be local exceptions, and absolute 
accuracy cannot be expected; but the following 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 list below (as indicated to the right of each variety by the abbreviations “VE,” “E,” 
“M,” “L”), indicate the comparative ripening time of the variety. 
EXPLANATION OF List. — The varieties best adapted and most valuable for market in a 
particular section are printed in capitals, thus: “ANGEL.” Varieties next in order of merit are 
printed in small capitals, thus: “CLIMAX.” Other varieties recommended are printed in 
ower-case type, thus: “Countess.”
