Fruit large, round; white, with much red in several 
shades; flesh white, with a red stain at the stone;

the best known of the older varieties, and in many 
ways has never been surpassed in size, quality and 
beauty. The fruit is firm and solid, and stands 
shipping well, so that it is possible always to put it 
in market in first-class condition. It is a favorite 
with many housewives for canning and preserving 
and always commands the best prices.

Ripens Aug. 10-25. Some¬ 
times a nurseryman’s en¬ 
thusiasm gets the better 
• of him when he attempts to 
---- tell of the qualities of a 
new variety. We believe in the Ray, and we are 
enthusiastic about it, but we want to be strictly 
truthful. It has been tested thoroughly, as growers 
in the eastern, central and western states have large 
numbers of Ray trees. We have thousands of bear- 
Mamie Ross Peach is similar to Carman, but a little larger 
Greensboro Peach 
ing trees in our own orchards here in Berlin, and 
elsewhere in Maryland and West Virginia, and our 
experience with these trees makes us all the more 
sure of our position in recommending it. Experi¬ 
enced orchardists tell us that the Ray Peach is in a 
class by itself, and that its range of territory is un¬ 
usually large. The fruit is extremely large; the skin 
is creamy white, deeply tinted with crimson and 
shades of yellow. It is one of the handsomest 
Peaches we have ever seen. Flesh white, with no 
stain, at the stone; firm, of the most excellent qual¬ 
ity, juicy, delicious, tender, and keeps well. An 
excellent shipper, of fine appearance, even after 
much handling. Trees exceedingly strong growers, 
shapely and symmetrical. 
The George B. Booker Co., Wilmington, Del., wrote 
us as follows about the Ray: “Your carton of magnifi¬ 
cent Ray Peaches came to hand this morning, and we 
must say they are handsome specimens. In our long 
years of experience we have handled many a Peach, 
but can truthfully say that we have never seen more 
beautiful ones, than these; and the quality of this 
Peach is. certainly superior to anything coming from 
any section at the present time.” 
We can show you many letters written in the 
same strain. There is no question about the Ray— 
it is the Peach for all purposes, and the orchardist 
who sets a large acreage is simply showing good 
common business sense. We would not recommend 
this variety so highly unless we were sure of the 
position it holds now and will hold for years to 
come. The illustration on the back cover was 
made from a specimen picked on August 10, 1914, 
and photographed on August 12. 
REEVES’ FAVORITE. Ripens middle of Aug. 
Large or extra-large fruit; round; yellow with beau¬ 
tiful red cheek; flesh deep yellow, red at stone, juicy 
as a melon; of excellent flavor.
