“FROM THE ROOTS UP" 
We believe that anyone who contemplates planting a peach orchard for 
drying purposes should certainly not overlook the Muir. The California Peach 
Growers’ Association have demonstrated that this variety is the only one that 
can be “Process Peeled” successfully. Time of ripening latter part of July. 
Peak’s Cling Originated on the grounds of J. H. Peak, near Selma, Cali- 
6 fornia, and is very similar to the Phillips cling. 
It has practically the same color, and size, having a small pit. It is a good 
keeper and enjoys about the same popularity among valley canners, where 
grown, as the former. 
In sections where planted it seems to ripen somewhat earlier than the Phil¬ 
lips being ready to pick shortly after the Tuscan. 
Phillips Cling 
Phillips Cling Phillips Cling was originated by Joseph Phillips, of Sutter 
County, California, and first propagated by J. T. Bogue, of 
Marysville, California. It enjoys the reputation of being the best peach for 
canning purposes as it is of a very even size, practically the same color all 
through; has a very small pit, is exceedingly rich in flavor and highly colored. 
It remains on the tree well which gives ample time for harvesting and deliv¬ 
ering. Its lateness of ripening also makes it a great favorite with the canners 
as it prolongs their season thus enabling them to put out a much larger pack. 
The fruit has a beautiful yellow skin with a bright tinge of red on the 
sunny side. Flesh is very fine grained and of a lemon yellow color. The tree 
is a very vigorous grower and a heavy producer and for this reason is a great 
favorite among orchardists. Ripens early in September. 
Picquet’s Late Another valuable freestone variety for the home orchard. 
The tree is a strong grower and a good producer. 
The peaches are large, usually quite round but sometimes a little flattened. 
Skin is yellow, often bearing a red cheek on the sunny side. Flesh is yellow, 
sweet and possesses an unusual aroma. Ripens in early September. 
Runyon’s Orange Cling This is . ? ne the Orange cling family and 
was originated on the Sacramento river by Mr. 
Sol Runyon. 
The tree is a strong grower and a heavy producer. The fruit is very large, 
yellow with a crimson cheek on the sunny side. The flesh is fine, rich 
and of high flavor. Aside from being a favorite for canning it is an excellent 
shipper. 
To anyone wishing to plant an Orange cling orchard we feel they can make 
no mistake in planting Runyons Orange. Ripens early in August. 
Salway The late ripening of this peach makes it a great favorite in Cali¬ 
fornia, for dessert purposes, coming in at a time when practically 
all other freestones are gone. It is also a good variety for drying purposes 
enjoying the distinction of losing less weight in drying than any other variety. 
We do not recommend the Salway as a drying peach, on account of its late 
ripening, the drying process often being hampered on account of early rains.
