THIS IS OUR SLOGAN

We believe, however, this is one of the best varieties to plant for late ship¬ 
ment to eastern as well as local markets. We have never known a time when 
late freestone peaches were not in demand for dessert purposes. 
The skin is of a yellow color having a brown, or red cheek. The flesh is 
yellow and inclined to be red at the pit. While it is not very juicy it pos¬ 
sesses a very pleasing flavor. Ripens middle of September. 
Sellers Orange Cling Another of the orange cling variety and which was 
introduced by James Shinn, but originated on the 
ranch ot b. A. Sellers, Contra Costa county. It is highly favored by many 
growers in the different cling growing districts of California because of its 
•productiveness. It is also highly valued by canners for its fine color and uni- 
lormity of size and on account of its favorable ripening period. While the 
Orange Cling of late years has not brought as large prices per ton, as the Tus¬ 
can and Phillips, it must be remembered that the tree is a very heavy producer 
and in many sections makes up for the difference of price in tonnage. 
The fruit is large, uniform in size and a beautiful golden color. The flesh 
is a deep golden, very firm and of good flavor. 
Canners recommend Sellers Orange as one of the best mid-summer varieties 
Ripens early in August. 
Sneed The Sneed was originated in North Carolina and has proven to be 
an early fruiting variety of merit. 
The tree is a-vigorous grower and a heavy bearer. The fruit is of a beau¬ 
tiful creamy white color with a red cheek on the sunny side. The flesh is 
white, juicy, melting and delicious and has a tendency to cling to the pit. 
On account of the fine quality of this peach and its earliness of ripening, 
coupled with its good shipping and market qualities, we feel that we should 
highly recommend it to all planters as one of the very best of the early varie¬ 
ties. Ripens latter part of May. 
Strawberry Jo those desiring a good early white peach we recommend the 
Strawberry. The skin is of a creamy white color, partly cov¬ 
ered with a dark red. Flesh is very white, with a tendency to be quite red near 
the pit; juicy and possesses a rich flavor. We recommend the planting of this 
variety in all home orchards. Ripens early July. 
Susquehanna The Susquehanna is supposed to have originated on the 
banks of the famous river by that name in Pennsylvania, 
and has become a very popular variety. 
The tree is a good grower and a heavy producer. The fruit is of large 
size, having a deep yellow color, partly covered with red. The flesh is yellow, 
juicy, and possesses a rich flavor. 
In former years this^ variety was planted very extensively for drying pur¬ 
poses but it is now being bought up and shipped extensively by green fruit 
shippers to the eastern markets. 
It ripens just a trifle later than the Elberta which makes it quite valuable for 
both shipping and drying. Ripens middle of August. 
Triumph Originated in Georgia and is one of the most profitable of the 
early varieties. 
The tree is an unusually strong grower and a heavy producer. The fruit is 
of medium size; flesh yellow in color, very fine and possesses a good flavor. 
The Triumph has proven itself to be unusually profitable for market pur¬ 
poses. . In the Santa Clara valley, to which it is well adapted, we have known 
it to yield planters as much as $1,000 per acre. 
We do not hesitate in recommending the Triumph to anyone wishing to 
plant peaches for the early market. Ripens the middle of June. 
Tuscan Cling The Tuscan Cling peach, ever since its introduction, has 
been acknowledged as being the best early clingstone 
variety on the market for canning on a commercial scale and is always in great 
demand and commands the highest price for canning peaches. 
The fruit is very large and yellow in color presenting a fine appearance 
when canned. The tree is a strong grower and a heavy producer and is par- 
ticularly adapted for planting in the interior valley and foothill sections. 
We know of Tuscan cling orchards that under good care and cultivation, 
have produced from twelve to fifteen tons of fruit per acre. 
, To anyone familiar with the growing of cling peaches in California we be¬ 
lieve the Tuscan needs no further recommendation. Ripens the middle of 
July.
