Belle of Georgia 
*Champion - Extra Hardy 
Freestone, fairly large, 
creamy white, with red 
cheek. Excellent flavor, sweet, rich and juicy, white-meated. 
Champion is one of the hardiest peaches you can grow, and I 
recommend it highly for Nebraska and any place on the northern 
edge of the peach belt. Ripens in August. 
Crawford's Early 
Freestone. A g-ood market peach, 
fruit very large, oblong yellow with 
showy red cheek. Flesh yellow, juicy and sweet. A good 
bearer. Hardy south of here. Ripens in August. 
/- , t .__'L.--. Freestone. An old timer but still in good demand. 
UlUaily Medium size, round with distinct seam on the 
blossom end. Lemon yellow and very downy; flesh bright yellow 
and firm. On account of its great hardiness, and dwarfish 
growth it has long been a favorite with the market growers.

early in August. 
Freestone. A little larger than the El¬

mend it highly for Southern Illinois, Indiana, Southern Missouri 
and Kansas, and from there south, but not hardy in Nebraska 
and the Middle West. 
Early Wheeler - Red Bird SSr'vfry W.'SS 
the quality is excellent. A new peach of a great future in the 
Middle West owing to its hardiness. Include this tree in your 
planting.

good as the Champion, the flesh, however, is 
yellow, it is of the same high quality as Champion. Plant them 
freely. Ripens in August.

large and round, white, juicy and fine qual¬ 
ity. Reasonably hardy here. Ripens in October.

xi. unit; orange yellow color with carmine cheek 
(smooth, without fuzz) and the further fact that it is almost 
as hardy as the Champion and Fitzgerald have made this peach 
by far the leader within the last few years. Does well up to 
the middle of Nebraska. J. H. Hale will be the pride of your 
orchard. Ripens end of August.

bearer, about the size of the Elberta. 
Dark yellow with deep crimson blush. 
Flesh yellow, very firm, juicy, and the 
quality is as good as the best. Ripens in 
October when all other peaches are gone, 
and assures you of an extra good price at 
that time. Be sure to plant a few of this 
variety, you will be well pleased.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
With the planting part completed, the newly planted trees and shrubs are pruned. Apple and plum trees are pruned alike Cut 
all branches back to about one-half of their length, and if the branches happen to be too dense cut some of them out There 1 
should be one branch in each direction, making the tree-top at planting time consist of one center branch, called the "Leader ” 
and from 3 to 5 branches, which should be in even distances around the tree. Pear trees are pruned the same way except that 
those branches which remain on the tree, including the leader, are not cut back, because the pear has its strongest buds at the 
end of each branch. Sour Cherries require no pruning. On Peach trees cut off all branches to within one inch from the stem 
Apricot trees are pruned same as apple and plum.
