THE PACIFIC GOLD PEACH 
Pacific Gold —the newest peach on the market— 
has been developed especially to suit the needs and 
growing conditions in Western Washington. 
Pacific Gold was developed in our orchards at Buck- 
ley, Washington, where we have approximately 
three hundred trees of this remarkable variety in 
profitable commercial production. 
They are very hardy and regularly bear big crops 
of fruit. Two year old trees are often loaded with 
fruit, and in our orchard three and four year trees 
have produced three to five boxes of fine peaches. 
The Pacific Gold peach is a rich golden color with 
a beautiful red cheek. The flesh is rich yellow and 
the flavor delicious. Having no acidity it requires 
less sugar when eaten fresh or as a preserved fruit. 
It entirely lacks coloration about the pit and bitter¬ 
ness characteristic to some other peaches. 
The flesh is firm and solid and a very good eanner. 
It is a good tree-ripened shipping peach with a small 
free-stone. The skin of this peach is as nearly fuzz¬ 
less as any peach now being raised. 
For years there has been a real 
need for a good peach for the 
Coast. Fruit from distant orchards 
is often harvested in a semi-green 
state to reach market in solid con¬ 
dition. Consumers in the city sel¬ 
dom taste "tree-ripened" peaches 
that have been allowed to stay on 
the trees until the fruit has ac¬ 
quired its natural sugar and 
sweetness that comes only from 
normal, proper ripening. 
Growers of Pacific Gold can place 
a fine, tree-ripened peach on the 
market—full of real flavor—within 
only an hour or two from the time 
the peaches are picked. Pacific 
Gold is the one peach tried and 
proved that produces heavy prof¬ 
itable crops of quality fruit under 
Western Washington conditions. 
Pacific Gold matures its fruit one 
week to ten days ahead of East¬ 
ern Washington crop, which is a 
great advantage in marketing.

NEW PEACH NAMED 
"PACIFIC GOLD" 
Remarkable success has been 
attained by Mr. Schwab in the ex¬ 
perimental work on the new peach 
trees, which have been under re¬ 
search on the nursery grounds for 
many years. 
The peach is a free-stone, with 
golden appearance, deep yellow 
and fine grain, and was the only 
peach submitted at the Puyallup 
Fair to stand up under the tests, 
thereby winning first place. The 
Buckley sample was picked two 
weeks prior to the exhibition and 
placed in cold storage, and at the 
time of the judging was in perfect 
condition, with no bruises or mold 
spots. 
Mr. Schwab's work in the past 
years developing a tree especially 
adapted for this locality has been 
greatly rewarded, and it is now 
possible that through his efforts 
peach growing will become a pro¬ 
fitable industry for this territory.

Pacific Gold Peach Took First Prize For 3 Consecutive 
Years At the Western Washington Fair 
For three years the Pacific Gold Peach has been exhibited 
at the Western Washington Fair, and each year awarded first 
prize. Hundreds of people have admired these fine peaches pick¬ 
ed from our orchard of Pacific Gold trees at Buckley. Many have 
been astonished by the fact that such exceptional peaches can be 
produced in Western Washington and the Coast. The fact that 
Pacific Gold peaches bear in only a year or two from planting, has 
been another great source of interest to those who have 
viewed this peach at the Fair.

NEW PEACH OFFERS POSSIBILITIES 
FOR LOCAL GROWERS 
We saw the finest basket of fruit Sat¬ 
urday that it has been our lot to inspect 
since coming to the coast. This fruit 
was grown on the Schwab ranch at 
Buckley. 
For eight years Mr. Schwab has 
worked to produce a peach which will 
yield prolifically, regularly, and ripen 
with the color and flavor that good 
peaches are supposed to have. 
The fruit displayed here comes from 
trees four years old. The trees com¬ 
menced bearing in the second year. In 
the spring of 1935 these trees bloomed 
when there was snow on the ground 
which proves they are hardy. 
They are a free-stone peach which 
breaks clear from the seed. The meat is 
rich yellow, the flavor brings back 
pleasant memories of the Missouri and 
Georgia peach—what more need be 
said as to flavor.
