WHITE HEATH CLING. Ripena 
25. Among cling Peaches this is undoubtedly the 
leader, and, while an old variety, has never been 
excelled by any other of its class. It is extra large 
and round; flesh is firm, white, exceedingly juicy 
and ripens fully to the pit. It has been, for a long 
time, a favorite for canning, as, like all cling Peaches, 
it is much more juicy than the freestone varieties. 
WILKIN’S CLING. Ripens Sept. 10-25. Large; 
blush and white; firm. Cling. 
WILLETT. Ripens Sept. 10-25. Large; yellow- 
red; rich flavor. Free. 
WONDERFUL. Ripens Sept. 1-10 When 
---- this Peach was first in¬ 
troduced it was such a radical advance over existing 
varieties that “Wonderful” was a fitting name for 
it. It is a very large Peach, oblong in form, with a 
sharp point, and in color a bright orange beautifully 
flushed with red; the flesh is yellow, firm, but 
tender, juicy and of delightful flavor. Free. The 
tree is strong and vigorous and noted for its abun¬ 
dant crops. Wonderful is one of the best Peaches 
for mountainous regions, and is strongly recom¬ 
mended for such sections of the country. 
YELLOW ST. JOHN (Meita) Ripens 
—----“- July 4-12. A 
most beautiful yellow Peach, medium to large in 
size and round. The skin is brilliantly flushed on 
the sunny side with bright, deep crimson, and the 
flesh is yellow, tender, juicy and altogether of extra- 
fine quality. Free. The tree is a strong grower and 
bears heavy crops every season. Being so early, 
this Peach reaches the market at a time when the 
demand for early fruit is at its height, and, if 
proper care is taken in the handling and packing, 
the best prices can be obtained for it. 
We are often asked why we have a test orchard of Peaches. There are several reasons, and the 
important one is that we may be able to tell our customers just what varieties will be suited to their 
local conditions. We can tell the time of ripening, for accurate records are kept of each tree, when 
it blooms, when the fruit shows color, when it is ready for picking. We know whether a variety is 
a free bearer, or inclined to be shy. We know the habits of the tree—whether it is a rapid or slow 
grower, whether it is sturdy or needs petting a little. It costs money to run this test orchard, but it 
is worth it, because we are in a position to give real help to our customers. 
The heavily loaded trees in our Peach orchard compelled us to use an extremely narrow sled for hauling the fruit to 
the packing-house
