Frank Bears Five Times as Much as Elberta 
Goldthwaite, Texas, Jan. 3, 1936. 
Dear Mr. Wolfe: 
The Frank peach is ideally suited to this locality. It out 
bears Elberta 5 to 1 and is the only peach I would want 
to plant commercially. I have 350, 30 months old trees that 
produced 175 bu. in 1935. I have 400 Frank trees up to 
eleven years, the oldest of which have averaged producing 
5 Y 2 bushels per tree for the past 5 years which sold at an 
average of $2.50 per bu. in 1931. The average price for the 
past 5 years has been $1.55 per bushel. I am, 
Sincerely yours, 
GEO. ROBERTSON. 
Frank Peach Sells for $2.25 Per Bushel 
Marble Falls, Texas, Dec. 23, 1935. 
Dear Mr. Wolfe: 
I have 300 bearing trees of Frank and over 400 Frank 
just coming into bearing. They come in to bearing the third 
year and out of 13 years trial they have never failed to bear 
a heavy crop except this year, the crop was light due to 1935 
drouth. I have been selling Frank peaches on the San An¬ 
tonio market for $2.00 and $2.25 per bushel. I am, 
Sincerely yours, 
KURT SCHROETER.

PRUNES 
German Pmne : This is an even cross between a plum and 
a prune that will grow and bear in Texas. The size of the 
fruit is from IV 2 to 2 inches in diameter, round in shape, blue 
black in color with reddish meat and very small seed. The 
fruit is very delicious and is good for jelly, preserves and 
canning. Ripens from July 10th to 20th, and will stay on the 
trees several days after ripening. It can be marketed with 
Elberta peach. I secured my start of this from a ten-year-old 
tree in Comanche, Texas, which was over one foot in diame¬ 
ter. It has produced a crop of fruit every year.
