PEACHES 
A home-garden without Peaches? Can you imagine such a thing! Just think what you are missing— 
luscious fruit from late June to mid-October if you select an early, a midseason, and a late sort. One tree 
of each is better than none, but if you have space, plant five of each class. For a commercial orchard you need a special selection 
and several varieties—better write us and ask our advice. 
PLANTING AND CARE 
The Peach is the quickest maturing of fruit 
trees, often bearing the second year after 
transplanting. Plant only in well-drained 
soil but otherwise follow methods recom¬ 
mended for other fruit trees. (See page 26.) 
At pruning time prune very severely, re¬ 
moving all side branches to short stubs and 
head low. The tree gets top heavy if allowed 
to develop a high head. 
Subsequent orchard pruning consists of 
shortening the terminal growth and keeping 
the tree compact and shapely. 
The borer which hibernates right below 
the ground line and frequently girdles the 
trunk should be removed annually. A new 
chemical, Para-dichlorobenzine may be used 
to control this pest. Our orchard growing and 
nursery experience is always at your service. 
Write us your questions and we will try to 
help you.

Early Ripening 
MAYFLOWER. (Free.) Earliest Peach 
known. Red all over. Fine and good. 
June 25. Extra hardy. 
Second Ripening 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. (Free.) White, with 
decided blush; excellent quality. Heavy 
and regular bearer. The best white-fleshed 
Peach for home or market. August 5. 
CARMAN. (Free.) White, with red blush. 
Extra hardy. Bears every year, and when 
it fails all else fails, too. Tree a robust grower 
and produces heavily. Carman should be 
considered next to Eiberta. We are partial 
to it. July 20. 
CHAMPION. (Free.) Attractive red cheek; 
juicy white flesh of good quality. Depend¬ 
able. August ripening. 
EARLY ELBERTA. (Free.) Clear yellow, 
with blush; fine grained and sweet. Tree 
a strong grower with a tendency to thin 
itself, carrying moderate loads of fruit. 
August 10. 
ELBERTA. (Free.) Fruit 
large, yellow, shaded with 
deep red. Eiberta has 
been the standard Peach 
for years, and is just as 
good today. More than 
80 per cent of commercial 
plantings are of Elbertas. 
August 15. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. A new 
variety, highly recommended 
by the Kentucky Experiment 
Station. Midseason and of 
unexcelled quality; yellow 
flesh with distinct blush. 
HILEY. (Free.) Follows Car¬ 
man and is an early Belle of 
Georgia. White flesh, firm, 
sweet, of good quality, and 
best of its season. July 30. 
J. H. HALE. (Free.) Fruit 
large, yellow, almost covered 
with red; more highly colored 
than Eiberta; flesh firm, 
melting, and of best quality. 
Ripens August 10 to 15. 
SOUTH HAVEN. Better color and quality 
than Eiberta. Larger and ripens 10 to 14 
days earlier. Has been much hardier than 
other yellow Peaches and because of our 
tests we recommend it highly. 
Late Ripening 
CHAIR’S CHOICE. A big, round golden 
yellow with blush. Best late freestone. 
Ripens in September. 
HEATH. (Cling.) White, tinged next to the 
sun. A large, firm, juicy Peach of most 
pleasing flavor. Well known. October 1. 
Quince. See page 30. 
GRAPES 
Other crops may fail, but you never lose 
all the Grapes—unless the boys g t them. 
Grapes are a sure crop. Vines bear every 
year, need little attention except training, 
lots of sunshine, and plenty of plant-food. 
In the home-garden, use Driconure or bone- 
meal; in the vineyard, use well-rotted manure. 
2-year-old vines, 20 cts. each, 10 for $1.75, 
100 for $15. By Parcel Post, add 10 per cent 
for postage 
Black Grapes 
CONCORD. The best general-purpose 
Grape grown. Berry large; bunches 
shouldered and compact. Should be the 
“backbone” of your planting. Special 
prices on large quantities. 
MOORE’S EARLY. An extra-early variety. 
Medium bunch; large black berry. Vine 
is hardy, very reliable, and does well wher¬ 
ever planted. 
WORDEN. A seedling of Concord. Better 
quality; ripens 10 days earlier. Bunch and 
berry large; compact. Not quite so hardy 
or long-lived, but is needed in every 
collection. 
Red Grapes 
CACO. An amber-red variety of unusual 
promise. It is a cross between Catawba and 
Concord and is different from either. Vine 
vigorous and bears very early. Fruit sweet.
