Profitable Peach Orchards 
We could tell you stories about the profits in raising Peaches that would rival the 
Arabian Nights—but 
Our stories would be true. 
We have a hundred-acre Peach orchard at Berlin. The crops of 1913, 1914, 1915, 
and 1916—four years—have netted us more than $80,000. And there are other growers 
making as much. There is no secret about it; all you need is the best trees, the best 
varieties, proper cultivating, spraying, pruning, packing, and marketing. It means 
some work—but, my! look at the money! 
The Ray Peach is one of the best white varieties. It ripens at Berlin about 
August 10, at a time when Peaches are selling for good prices. Ray is a business 
orchardist’s variety. 
When we talk about Carman, Belle of Georgia, Champion, and Elberta, we name 
sorts that every practical grower knows by actual contact and orchard experience. It 
is time now for every home gardener and for large and small orchardists to become 
acquainted with these varieties. You can be introduced by turning to the Peach 
department, pages 7 to 11.
