DELICIOUS PEACHES 
The Peach requires a well drained moderately rich soil. Warm sandy loam is considered the 
most ideal, but hundreds of the best orchards in the Ohio peach belt are on heavy clay and others 
on heavy black loam. If you want the best all round Peaches, for homo use or market, and varieties 
that will produce fruit and lots of it and trees that will stand the most severe winters, and bear 
when others fail, we have them in the following seven varieties of Special Mention. 
VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MENTION 
Theso with the exception of the Hale and 
Wilma were introduced by us, some of them 
over 20 years ago, and are varieties of local 
origin here in the peach belt of Northern Ohio. 
They have stood the test of time both in com¬ 
mercial orchards ns well as in small home or¬ 
chards, and have given the greatest of results 
whenever we have sold them. They have far 
surpassed our expectations und our claims for 
them. 
We recommend the Briner, named from the 
man from whoso orchard we first got buds, for 
large size, uniformity, freedom from disease, na¬ 
ture of foliage, and above all quality. As Jarge 
as Elberta and 100 per cent better. As hardy 
as Elberta and all lending varieties. 
We recommend the other three for oxtremo 
hardiness both of tree and in bud. For fine qual¬ 
ity and for being extra heavy and suro bearers. 
Fully as hardy, even if not more so, ns Crosby 
or Golddrop, just ns heavy bearers and as good 
flavor, and much larger. 
In 1915 we saw several orchards of several 
hundred trees each in the Ohio peach belt, of 
Day’s Xonpariel, loaded to tho ground with 
highly colored fruit, and the size of the latter 
was a surprise, even to us. A large per cent 
would grade AA, and the balanco A, and in one 
orchard of about 100 trees, which were heavily 
loaded last year, and as a consequence not quite 
as full this year, almost every peach would grade 
extra fancy, and was as large as any Elberta 
the grower had had. They were on good ground 
and well cared for. The grower had. however, 
set two rows of them next to his Elberta orchard 
on the side toward a swamp for the reason that 
they would stand the lower and heavier soil bet¬ 
tor than Elberta or most anything else. 
In another orchard of several thousand trees, 
just at the close of the Elberta season, when 
someone wanted a real good peach to eat, the 
owner told him that he would go over to his 
Heidelburg orchard, where they had finished 
picking some ten days before and see if we 
could find a stray poach still loft as ho said 
whenever ho wanted a good poach to eat for 
himself he always took a Heidelburg if he could 
get it, and that lie considered it the best flavor¬ 
ed peach that he had ever grown. And tho rich¬ 
est, when canned. 
Wo cannot recommend those varieties too high¬ 
ly. If you want varieties that will boar when 
most others fail, trees that will stand tho win- 
tors, trees that will do woll on lioavy soil, that 
will produce fruit, aud lots of it, and of good 
sizo do not fail to plant them. 
BRINER—Yellow free stono of finest quality; 
large and is always evenly distributed over the 
tree so that there is very few small poaches 
mixed in. Tree of low branching habit, with 
the small, dark green type of foliage which is 
not subject to curl loaf. Equal to Elberta in 
size and superior in quality. Ripens a few days 
enrlier than Elberta and stands shipping ordin 
ary distances well. 
DAY—Another heavy bearer of tho very finest 
peaches, and a very hurdy tree; yellow free¬ 
stone and colors up well on tho tree. Originated 
in our orchard. Ono largo poach grower says: 
“I would rather lose any other variety in my 
orchard than the Day’s Nonpnriel.*' Good size, 
but should bo thinned for market growing. 
Ripens between Lnto Crawford and Sinock. 
J. H. HALE This is the new variety advertised 
so extensively an»I sold in immense numbers 
throughout the country in the last three years. 
Claimed to be a few days earlier than Elberta, 
larger, and better, and just as good a bearer 
as that variety. Wo offer fine trees at an ordi¬ 
nary price. 
HEIDELBURG -The peach par-excellence for 
home use; yellow freestone of good size; de¬ 
licious flavor and small pit; hardy tree and 
heavy bearer. A splendid market variety and 
stands shipping well. Ripens just after Early 
Crawford.
