Peaches like these bring fancy prices 
Our Profitable Peach-Orchard 
A net profit of more than $43,000 in two years from 100 acres of land 
is a pretty good income, don’t you think? 
We thought that we were getting high prices for Peaches, in the season 
of 1913, when our crop of sixty-two cars netted us more than $25,000, 
but our crop of 1914 brought even better prices, the forty-two cars selling 
for a sufficient sum of money to make a net profit of more than $18,000. 
The same orchard at the time this price-list goes to press is heavily laden 
with fruit. 
You can make your orchard just as profitable, if you have the RIGHT 
LAND and the RIGHT TREES, and give them proper care. Let us tell 
you how we succeed. 
The Peaches, shipped in carload lots, all are packed in six-basket carriers 
containing about three pecks of Peaches. Attractive labels, such as 
those shown in the above photograph, were used on all carriers con¬ 
taining select fruit. 
Many of our Peaches sold on the market at from $3.00 to $ 3 * 5 ° P er 
carrier. After deducting freight, icing charges, etc., the net price to us 
was from $2.50 to $2.80 per carrier. 
The Peaches are packed with great care. They are graded into three 
sizes, observing the regular three-tier, or two-and-one-half-tier pack. Only 
ripe, well-developed, high-colored fruit is shipped. 
We sell to large dealers we are acquainted with in northern cities, some 
of whom come to our orchards and buy the Peaches as they are loaded. 
When f.o.b. prices seem too low, we ship to reputable commission houses 
and let the quality of the fruit be the test, and we usually get full value, 
according to quality of fruit placed in the carriers. 
We aim to pick the fruit after the dew is off, when it is dry and clean, 
and get it into the cold cars as quickly as possible. 
Peach-growing is a profitable and safe business if you apply up-to-the- 
minute business methods. The introduction of self-boiled lime and sulphur 
for spraying Peaches not only controls disease, but preserves the Peaches 
while growing on the tree, so when picked and placed in iced cars, they 
can be kept for days in safety, especially such varieties as Belle of Georgia, 
Champion, Ray, Elberta, Crawford, all of which show quality and firmness.
