FRUIT TREES 
Planters desiring to purchase any fruit trees should order early. The 
list of varieties is limited as well as quantity. Many nurseries are not list¬ 
ing them at all. 
PEACH TREES 
The past two severe winters damaged thousands of orchard trees so badly 
that it is unlikely that any plantings made previous to 1933 will be alive two 
years hence. Therefore the grower who plants orchards this year and next will 
be sure to have but little competition in the markets when they come into bearing. 
Our trees are grown on seedlings of natural Tenn. mountain strain and the 
buds were taken from orchards that bore the finest type of that variety which 
we wanted to grow. We have our nurseries remote from any orchards which 
might transmit diseases and breed insects.

Those varieties marked with (*) we only have in the two large sizes. 
NAMED IN ORDER OF RIPENING 
Maules Early. —Red with skin almost entirely covered with red, medium, fair 
quality, half cling and the earliest of all peaches. Its extreme earliness, hardi¬ 
ness in bud and fine in color, make it a very desirable market variety. 
Cumberland. —A seedling of Belle crossed with Greensboro. Large oval, white- 
fleshed, usually free. Ripens a few days before Carman. Recommended as a 
variety to precede the Carman season. 
Kathryn. —It bears very young; three-year-old trees were loaded with fruit and 
it shows a lot of fruit buds on one-year-old stock in the nursery row. The 
fruit is large, slightly elongated, very regular in size and shape, making a splen¬ 
did appearing peach. It is a perfect freestone. Its season of ripening is along 
with the last of Carman but extends over a slightly longer period. The color is 
clear cream-tinted white overspread with a beautiful pink which is a very deep. 
Golden Jubilee. —Without question the Golden Jubilee is the best peach of recent 
introduction. 
This variety was propagated by cross-pollenization by the New Jersey Ex¬ 
perimental Station and this is what they say about it: “It is similar to Elberta 
in tree habit and form and appearance of the fruit. It is essentially an early 
Elberta.” It is certainly a fine, early, yellow freestone, ripening at a time which 
assures it a splendid market. 
N. J. 66. —New Jersey No. 66 is the result of a cross of J. H. Hale X 40 C. S., 
another experiment station seedling. It is a large, round, oval, white-fleshed 
freestone, which ripens at the same season as Carman and closely follows Golden 
Jubilee. The tree is equal to Carman or Belle in vigor, the fruit is even larger 
and more attractively colored with red than Cumberland and much firmer in 
flesh. The fruit hangs to the tree well, even after it is ripe, and retains its 
firmness well. The quality is good and a bit sprightly. 
Eclipse. —“A self-pollinated seedling of Belle. A dark red, yellow-fleshed texture 
and good flavor, ripening with Hiley. Size equal to Hiley, tree more vigorous. 
Fruit oval, flesh grained, excellent shipper, hangs to tree well.” We consider 
this the highest quality of all yellow peaches and one of the hardiest.
