Sest Hardy Teaches 
IAVING more Peach trees in orchard than any other man in America, and havintr I believe 
made them far more prorital)le than the average orchards, it is fair to assume that I am in 
a position to know something of varieties and llieir adaptability to various soils and con¬ 
ditions : and I venture to assume that if I could have had the propagation of trees, selection 
of varieties, planting and care of orchards, I could readily have doubled the profits of the 
i each orcluyds of America. A good many, however, aeem to want cheap trees rather than profit* 
able orchards; so it has come about that the business of cheap Peach-tree making has been 
de%'eloped largely by nurserymen having no fruiting orchards, knowing little of the actual fruiting 
\alue of varieties and who cut their buds annually from the adjoining nursery row, rather than 
from selected and well-tested fruiting trees. People who want to know the pedigree of a dog pig 
or calf seem to care nothing for the parentage of the Peach tree, if it is only cheap ! A few cents 
saved on the first cost of a tree seems to be more thought of than the dollars upon dollars that 
might be made later on if the start had only been willi a better breed of trees. For my own 
orchard planting I want the best-bred trees obtainable, and to customers who want such grades 
and varieties of trees as I myself would plant, I shall be pleased to book orders for family o-ardens 
or commercial orchards. 
The following list, from earliest to latest, is I believe the most valuable one for the north¬ 
eastern section of the United Stales. 
Sneed and Triumph 1 can recommend only for family use to start the season e.vtra early.
