those growing peaches for early market purposes. The 
fruit is of a light green color nearly covered with red. 
Flesh is creamy white, fine grained, and delicious. 
Ripens early in May. 
Miller’s Late. There are few peaches ripening after 
the Salway; hence a good peach ripening as late as 
November is a valuable acquisition. Miller’s Late is a 
fine yellow freestone of the Salway type, having bet¬ 
ter flavor and quality than the latter; a heavy bearer. 
November. 
Red Bird. An exceptionally high colored peach of 
excellent quality. Skin creamy white, overspread with 
bright, glowing red. Extra large in size for an early 
peach. A fine shipper. Beyond question one of the 
most attractive peaches of all on account of its large 
size and its wonderful cream white and red color. 
Early June. 
Saucer (Australian). Medium; flattened on both 
ends; creamish white, shaded crimson; flesh white, 
juicy and of peculiar sweet flavor. June. 
Orange Cling. Very large; golden yellow with crim¬ 
son cheek; flesh yellow, sweet and delicious. Much 
desired for home canning. Late August.

BABCOCK PEACH 
This peach has been on the market the past sev¬ 
eral years but is comparatively new. We are now 
offering this peach at regular prices for the first time. 
We do not hesitate to recommend this as one of the 
very best peaches. 
Aside from its regular heavy bearing habit, Bab¬ 
cock is a Peach of exceptional quality and commercial 
advantages. It is white-fleshed, beautifully red¬ 
cheeked, with a delicious flavor and abundant juice. 
The fruit is round, above medium size, and the skin 
is exceptionally smooth, with almost no fuzz. Ripens 
June.

PLUMS 
Most varieties of Plums will bear heavier crops if 
certain other varieties are planted nearby as pollin- 
izers. Burbank and Wickson all successfully pollinate 
the blossoms of most varieties, as well as each other, 
and we advise including some of these sorts in all 
Plum plantings. 
Apex Plumcot. This fruit, as indicated by its 
name, is a very satisfactory combination of the Apri¬ 
cot and the Plum. Large; round; yellow, rich and 
aromatic. June. 
Burbank. Is considered one of the best of the 
Japanese type. The fruit is large, bright red in color, 
slightly mottled with yellow. Flesh is rich yellow, 
juicy and very sweet. Late June. 
SANTA ROSA PLUM 
Damson. This variety enjoys the distinction of be¬ 
ing more widely planted and better known to plan¬ 
ters of home orchards than any other plum. Its quali¬ 
ties for the making of preserves, jellies, pies, dump¬ 
lings, etc., are unequaled by any other plum. 
The fruit is small, oval in shape, with a purple skin 
covered with a thick blue bloom. The flesh is tart 
and separates readily from the pit. September. 
Santa Rosa. Is one of the best of the late Burbank 
introductions and, owing to its large oval shape and 
beautiful purplish crimson color it is an excellent plum 
for shipping purposes. The plum is large and uniform 
in size. Skin purplish crimson color with a pale yel¬ 
low bloom. Flesh is yellow, streaked and mottled 
with red, juicy and of rich flavor. Early June. 
Satsuma. The well-known Japanese blood Plum so 
prized for preserves. Large, almost round, deep red 
outside and in, firm, juicy, and of fine flavor. Must 
be planted with other varieties to secure good crops. 
Late July. 
Wickson. Large; yellow, shaded crimson; flesh am¬ 
ber colored, juicy and sweet. Early August. 
Tragedy Prune. Large; dark purple; yellowish green 
meat; rich and sweet. Fine table prune. July. 
PEARS 
We do not strongly recommend pears for Salt River 
Valley. However there are a number of trees that 
are bearing good crops of satisfactory fruit each year. 
These trees can be planted to advantage in many 
parts of Northern Arizona. 
BARTLETT PEAR 
Bartlett. There has undoubtedly been more money 
made through the growing of Bartlett pears than from 
any other variety. The fruit is of large size, skin 
bright yellow when ripe, inclined to blush on the 
sunny side, and is oblong shape, tapering toward the 
stem. The flesh is exceedingly fine grained, white and 
buttery, full of juice and very highly perfumed. It is 
especially adapted to river bottom soils, but if prop¬ 
erly cultivated will thrive in clay loams and even 
adobe. Ripens in August. 
Kieffer. Very large; yellow, tinted red; flesh rather 
coarse, juicy, with a marked musky aroma. October. 
Winter Nelis. Medium size; dull russet; flesh yel¬ 
lowish white, fine grain, buttery and melting. Heavy 
and regular bearer. December.
