Peach Trees 
Carman Peaches 
For many years it was the popular opinion that peaches would thrive 
in only certain sections of the country. We know better now. With 
one or two exceptions it has been shown that this fruit can be grown at 
a good profit in every state in the Union. Peaches can be grown on any 
soil that will produce the average yield of farm crops and are adapted 
expecially to the lighter soils. Careful cultivation and intelligent pruning 
will work wonders in the production of peaches. If properly cared for. 
the trees are sure to bring in a handsome return on your investment, 
As in other fruits it is imperative, however, that your trees are the of 
best stock. It is very important that wood growth on peach trees is well 
ripened and that they have a good and sufficient quantity of fibrous 
roots so they will withstand the hot sun and drought that may occur 
after planting. Thousands of trees are lost this way by the planter. This 
season we have a very good stock of hardy Northern grown trees, with 
well ripened wood and an excellent root system and 
We make the lowest possible price on this quality of stock.
