PEACHES bear here often enough to make 
them a very satisfactory crop and some 
growers make money producing them for 
market. It is a noticeable fact that trees 
planted on high, well drained land, and given 
proper cultivation and pruning to keep them 
in good thrifty condition, will get by the 
blizzards and bear oftener than others. 
Ripening time given for peaches and all 
other fruits is approximate for this local¬ 
ity. This is governed largely by soil and 
weather and may vary a few days or weeks. 
We list everything in order of ripening as 
near as possible, but even this will not be 
exactly the same from year to year. 
June Varieties 
Mayflower, red, semi-cling, white flesh. 
Alexander, same description, few days later.

APPLE TREES planted 40 feet apart on 
deep loamy land, and given reasonable cul¬ 
tivation, pruning and spraying provide a 
source of satisfaction and profit and live for 
many years. Thousands of families on farms 
and suburban tracts could have an abundant 
supply of home grown apples even if they do 
not care to grow them for sale. 
June Varieties —Early Harvest, Red June, 
Yellow Transparent. 
July Varieties —Golden Sweet, Liveland, 
Summer Pearmain. 
August and September Varieties —Jona¬ 
than, Delicious, Red Delicious, Yellow Deli¬ 
cious, Grimes, King David. The season of 
these may be extended several months by 
cold storage, but they will keep for weeks if 
picked before they are dead ripe, and stored 
in a ventilated room or basement. 
Later Varieties —Winesap, Stayman. 
Crabs —Florence, Whitney, Hyslop. 
PLUM TREES —Natives and hybrids are 
especially desirable. We have discarded all 
Japanese varieties.
