Few fruits enjoy a greater popularity than peaches. With de¬ 
licious flavor they combine attractive appearance and the uses to 
which this fruit may be put are so many that there are never enough 
on hand for all. This applies especially to small communities in 
which farmers and fruit growers can establish a thriving business 
without serious effort. 
Peaches do well in most soils and by carefully following some of 
the suggestions offered below, trees may easily be established and 
bring splendid returns in a few years. By selecting varieties which 
bear early and late the peach season may be extended over a con¬ 
siderable period. 
Cultural directions for peaches are enclosed with each peach 
tree order. 
Tree Ripened Peaches Taste Best! 
You can never really know how good peaches taste until you pick 
them fully ripened from your trees. Fresh, ripe, home-grown peaches 
are delicious fruit that may be grown at little expense. They are 
easy to grow, quick to come into bearing, and very productive.

APRICOTS 
A beautiful and delicious fruit; a close relative of the plum and 
peach, combining the qualities of both. The fruit ripens after the 
early cherries and just before the plums and peaches. Tree is as 
hardy as the peach and requires about the same cultivation. It ships 
well and commands a good price in the markets and for drying and 
canning it has no superior. 
GILBERT. Medium size, very early, good quality. 
MOORPARK. One of the largest; orange-yellow with numerous 
specks and dots; flesh yellow, sweet, juicy and rich; tree is some¬ 
what tender and is inclined to ripen unevenly. August. 
ROYAL. Large, roundish-oval; pale orange with faintly tinged 
red cheek; flesh yellow, firm, sweet, high flavored, slightly sub-acid 
and good quality, ripens a week eai'lier than Moorpark; a good 
market variety. 
WENATCHEE MOORPARK. The tree a more thrifty grower 
than the genuine Moorpark. These are quite extensively planted in 
the irrigated districts and are a splendid commercial variety. 
LEWIS. One of the largest apricots known; handsome in appear¬ 
ance; flavor excellent. If you have room for only one apricot tree, 
plant the Lewis. 
TILTON. We consider this variety one of the best commercial 
sorts. Flesh firm, sweet and juicy; tree hardy and thrifty grower. 
YAKIMENE. Very large, early, yellow; fine texture. 
(All apricots listed some price as peaches.) 
NECTARINES 
The Nectarine is really a smooth-skinned peach. The prevailing 
opinion among many people has been that the Nectarine is a hybrid 
resulting from the crossing of the peach with some other fruit, which' 
is not the case. The Nectarine is a most delicious fruit, requiring 
the same culture as the peach, from which it differs by having a 
smooth skin like a plum. They are a luscious fruit with a rich, sweet, 
aromatic flavor; excellent for eating fresh, for canning or drying. 
BOSTON RED. Large size, deep yellow with bright blush, sweet. 
NEW WHITE. Large, white with blush, good quality. 
QUETTA. New, introduced by the U. S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture. Large size, attractive mottled coloring over light yellow, deli¬ 
cious flavor. A fine fresh fruit for breakfast.
