Elberta Peaches — Noted for Size, Beauty and Productiveness—Early September 
PEACH TREES 
Peach trees can be grown on any land that will grow a good crop of com or potatoes, but will do better on a sandy loam 
in preference to a heavy clay soil. 1 o secure heavy, vigorous and healthy trees the ground should be kept clean and mellow 
and should receive an occasional dressing of wood ashes. They should also be pruned yearly, all the dead and useless wood 
cut out, and the light and air let in. 
The trees should be planted 16 feet apart each way, and at this distance 170 trees will be required for each acre. In my 
garden 1 plant in hedge row 3 feet apart and get bg crops. 
Peach trees make very desirable fillers in an apple orchard. They come into bearing when very young and will pay for 
the care and maintenance of the apple trees and net a handsome profit besides; and by the time the apple trees need the room, 
they will have borne full crop and can be dug up without loss. We secure buds from bearing trees which insure their being 
true to name. & 
Elberta. 0ne the great peaches of the earth. (Free 
——:- stone.) Ripens here early in September, 
following closely up on Early Crawford. A beautiful, extra 
large golden yellow peach, with a brilliant red cheek, firm, 
juicy, high flavored, rich and sweet. This is the best com¬ 
mercial variety. For years it has been the standard market 
variety, and its place in the estimation of commercial growers 
would be hard to fill with any other variety, for no other 
peach has yet been introduced that will fill all the require¬ 
ments of a commercial peach with such success as the Elberta. 
In addition to its high quality, large size and attractive 
appearance, the Elberta has a tough skin and consequently 
does not bruise easily and ships exceedingly well. Elberta 
remains the peer of all commercial peaches, and from present 
indications will hold this place undisputed. 
Green’s Nursery Co.: The peach trees came in splendid 
condition. They are the finest trees ever seen around here.

Peach growing in the orchards of Maryland has been quite 
successful. During the last season one peach orchard, five 
years old, of ten acres, yielded over $8,000 from peaches, 
principally of the Elberta type, says J. B. Seth. 
THE POPULAR ELBERTA PEACH 
Of the older well known varieties of peach there is none so 
popular both for market and home use as the Elberta. This 
truly great peach ripens at the close of the season of the Early 
C rawford. It is hardy in bud. The tree is vigorous and very 
productive. The fruit is of the largest size and is covered 
with a thick and tenacious skin which enables the Elberta 
peach to be shipped safely long distances and which pre¬ 
vents early decay. There is no peach that wall keep longer 
than the Elberta. A noted peach grower says that his Elberta 
peaches cost him much less per bushel to produce than most 
other varieties, owing to the fact that the Elberta trees are so 
productive. The flesh of the Elberta is deep yellow, reddish 
near the stone. Elberta peach has a strong peach, flavor 
which many people like. 
GREEN ON THE PEACH 
The peach bears quickly after planting. Its fruit is most 
tempting, meeting with ready sale. # It differs from the orange 
in flavor but resembles the orange in color. Unlike the pear, 
the peach is of best quality when allowed to ripen fully upon 
the tree. Do not pick all of the fruit frem the peach tree at 
once. The peach is remarkably productive. An acre planted 
to peach trees might under the most favorable circumstances 
yield 500 bushels of fruit.
