ARE NETTING GOOD RETURNS

In addition to its attractive appearance it contains more sugar qualities 
than any other peach, which allows it to dry exceedingly heavy, making it a 
very profitable variety to the producer. We feel that this peach is so widely 
known and favored among California planters that it is needless for us to 
mention all of its good qualities. 
We believe that anyone who contemplates planting a peach orchard for 
drying purposes should certainly not overlook the Muir. The California Peach 
Grower’s Association have demonstrated that this variety is the only one that 
can be ‘‘Process Peeled” successfully. Time of ripening latter part of July. 
f Originated on the grounds of J.- H. Peak, near Selma, Call- 
Peak S Cling 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 was originated by Joseph Phillips, of Sutter 
Phillips Cling 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. 
The late ripening of this peach makes it a great favorite in Cali- 
Salway 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. 
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. 
Another of the orange cling variety and which was 
Sellers Orange ding introduced by James Shinn, but originated on the 
ranch of S. 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¬ 
formity 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
