Crosby “Frost-Proof” Peaches 
Crosby. (Hardy Yellow Freestone.) Very hardy. A 
fine handsome peach with a remarkably small pit. It bears 
regular crops north of the peach belt; fine quality and very 
delicious. Season follows quickly after Early Crawford. 
A remarkable peach for growing in sections too far north 
for other varieties. On account of its ability to withstand 
severe winter weather it is often called the “Frost-Proof.”

Green s Nursery Co.: 
I received your fruit trees and must say they are the nicest 
trees I ever saw. Your small size trees are as large and more 
healthy than the largest size trees I bought of another company. 
Y ou can depend on my telling my neighbors to order from you.

We Prow Our Own Trees on Our Own farms 
We have received letters from our patrons and prospective 
patrons, stating that they had been advised by tree agents and 
others of our competitors that we did not grow any of our trees, 
but bought them of other nurseries. In contradiction of this 
statement, we want to say that with the exception of a few vari¬ 
eties, we grow everything we sell, and it is grown on our own farms. 
We have three farms southwest of this city. The first one 
contains 134 acres. The next contains 70 acres and the third 
contains 100 acres. A short distance west of Rochester, we have 
four separate small farms totaling in all 50 acres. 
We do not grow everything on one farm, because different 
kinds of trees require different soil. For instance, a peach tree 
grows best on a light soil and a pear tree on a heavy soil, and we 
grow only that class of tree on each soil that is best adapted to 
that particular soil. 
On these farms we have houses for 20 families, and the nearest 
village to one of our farms is made up almost entirely of our 
employes. We have extensive buildings for storage and other 
purposes, which we are constantly enlarging to meet our require¬ 
ments. 
So if anybody tries to persuade you that we do not grow our 
own trees, we would like to have you invite them to visit us, and 
we will prove to them that we do grow our own trees.

Crawford’s Early Peaches—The Good Old Peach of Our Forefathe 
Old Mixon Free. (Free¬ 
stone.) Large, yellowish- 
white with deep red cheek, 
tender and juicy, very hardy 
and productive. Middle 
September. 
Crawford S Early. (Freestone) 
--— Last of Au¬ 
gust or beginning of September. A 
magnificent large yellow peach of excel¬ 
lent quality. Well flavored and not ex¬ 
celled for the home garden. Not as 
good a shipper as Elberta, but better 
flavored. Most people, when they buy 
peaches, ask for Craw¬ 
ford’s as they know little 
about any other varie¬ 
ties. The trees are vig¬ 
orous and productive. 
This is the reliable old 
varietv of our forefathers.
