PEACHES 
The peach tree requires a well drained, moderately rich soil; warm, sandy loam is 
probably the best. 
VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MENTION 
The following varieties are of our owm introduction being of local origin here in Northern 
Ohio. We feel that for home use we cannot recommend these varieties too highly. In the 
past fifteen years we have sold many thousands of them and our call is increasing every 
year. Some of the largest fruit growers in Ohio consider them among their very best and 
most profitable varieties, but we recommend them especially for home use. 
In quality they are all of the finest. If 
you want an extra large variety plant Bri- 
ner’s Favorite. If you want varieties of 
good size which will bear when others fail 
and trees which will stand the winter when 
many other varieties freeze out, plant Hei- 
delburg, Day’s Nonpariel and Winstone. 
Briner’s Favorite — Yellow free stone of fin¬ 
est quality; large and is always evenly 
distributed over the tree so that there 
is very few small peaches mixed in. 
Tree of low branching habit, with the 
small, dark green type of foliage which 
is not subject to curl leaf. Equal to 
Elberta in size and superior in quality 
but for very long distance shipments 
from here to Philadelphia and New 
York City, it does not hold up quite as 
well as the latter. Ripens a few days 
earlier than Elberta and stands ship¬ 
ping ordinary distances well. 
Heidelburg — The peach par-excellence for 
home use; yellow freestone of good 
size; delicious flavor and small pit; 
hardy tree and heavy bearer. A 
splendid market variety and stands 
shipping well. Ripens just after Early 
Crawford. 
Day’s Nonpariel—Another heavy bearer 
of the very finest peaches, and a very 
hardy tree; yellow free stone and 
colors up well on the tree. Originated 
in our orchard.'One large peach grow¬ 
er says, “I would rather lose any oth¬ 
er variety in my orchard than the 
Day’s Nonpariel.” Good size, but should be thinned for market growing. Ripens 
between Late Crawford and Smock. 
Winstone Seedling —A seedling of late Crawford which it resembles in every way, but tree 
* is much hardier. During the severe winter of 1904 we had a tree of Winstone and one 
of Late Crawford standing side by side in a small test orchard. The latter tree was 
killed completely but the Winstone, a few a feet way was uninjured and bore fruit the 
following season. This was also true of the Heidelburg and Day’s Nonpariel while 
many of the old varieties such as Elberta, Crawford’s Early and Late and others were 
entirely killed. 
READ WHAT OTHERS SAY OF THEM. 
The Heidelberg bore the most, but the Briner's Favorite were the largest, in fact equal in size to- the 
Elberta. I would have been five hundred dollars ahead last year if all my trees had been of these two varieties. 
W. S. Miller, Ottawa Co., Ohio. 
My Heidelberg tree was full again this year. I sell eight or ten dollars worth of peaches from it every year 
to my neighbors who think they are fine. J. H. Beck, Cleveland, Ohio. 
The Heidelberg PeachTrees were loaded with big yellow peaches and they brought top prices.
