We have made growing Peach Trees a specialty for 20 years and carry probably the largest assort¬ 
ment of varieties, and have grown more Peach for the last 20 years than any firm in America. Our 
doors are open for all prospective buyers to visit us and look over our stock at any time. 
From the planting of the Peach seed (naturals), which are the best, the growing of Peach has our 
personal attention. The budding is done under the direction of a competent man. The buds are care¬ 
fully selected. 
TWELVE WINNERS. 
TESTED VARIETIES THAT BRING THE ROCKS. 
Elberta. —Very large; skin golden yellow, where 
exposed to the sun faintly striped with red; flesh 
yellow, very fine grain, juicy, rich, sweet and splen¬ 
didly flavored; tree very prolific and presents a 
handsome appearance and a more luxuriant growth

cessful market varieties. This is truly a fine peach, 
noted for its large size and fine appearance. Ripens 
early in August.
