The Rochester Peach,— 
—Finest in Quality 
You can grow this wonderful variety—and serve 
its luscious fruit to your guests. 
T HIS richest in flavor peach conies into ripening the middle 
of August. It is a large yellow and red free-stone; of yel¬ 
low flesh and is very highly flavored; its stone is very small. 
To eat out of hand, to serve from the home table for desserts 
or when preserved even, it remains unexcelled as a delicacy. 
This peach was originated in Rochester, New York—by a 
Mr. Wallen, who as an experiment had planted a few peach 
seeds. One of the trees resultant produced a remarkable sup¬ 
ply of this wonderful fruit. The other trees produced just 
natural ordinary peaches. The original orchard has now borne 
its tenth annual crop this season and the fruit is the finest 
quality these trees have ever borne. Some of the specimens 
measure twelve inches in circumference and weigh twelve 
ounces. The fruit has sold at the orchards and to local gro¬ 
ceries at one dollar to two dollars per eleven quart basket. 
The tree comes into bearing when very 
young; generally the second season al¬ 
though we have on record several instances 
of fruit the first season set. 
It is seldom known to fruit growers for 
young trees planted a little over a year to 
bear fruit. This new Rochester peach 
solves the problem for you. 
Let us present you further information 
and details concerning this wonderful 
variety so that you may partake of its ad¬ 
vantages in your own home orchard. 
We have some especially fine specimen 
trees available for immediate sale, for 
quick results. 
Plan to place your orders early that we 
may have ample time to give you not only 
the choicest selection of stock, but the full 
course and extent of Mayo service. 
Advantages of Northern 
Grown Nursery Stock 
Located near the shores of Lake On¬ 
tario, with wide variations of temperature, 
at times 15 degrees below zero, the con¬ 
ditions are extremely favorable for the 
production of hardy, robust trees and 
plants. These conditions—with a soil best 
suited to produce the healthiest condi¬ 
tions of growth, namely that solid, firm 
texture of the wood, with abundant fibrous 
root, so necessary to successful transplant¬ 
ing—enable us to offer the choicest nur¬ 
sery stock with entire confidence to 
planters in all sections of the country. 
Shall We Send 
You Our Catalog? 
Our organization is built for 
service, our catalog is intended 
likewise to serve home owners by 
placing before them offerings of 
the world’s best trees and plants 
for the home grounds. Illustrated 
in color, with many points of un¬ 
usual interest. You will be repaid 
for studying before you send 
orders for Spring plantings. It 
will be sent to readers of House 
& Garden on request. 
Improving the Natural Scenery 
About Your Home 
A BARREN lawn, uncovered foundations, just a 
square piece of ground—nothing on it but a house. 
Now think of the same property transformed—fra¬ 
grant Wisteria clambering over the porch, a vista of 
colorful shrubs in every direction, increasing the size of 
the property many times by appropriate placement; 
the house looking as though it had grown up among 
the evergreens, azaleas, and other natural clothing of 
its foundations. 
The same thought and consideration should be given to 
one’s “outdoor” home surrounding as is given to the interior 
of the home. Certainly our guests and neighbors see first 
the outer home and if the setting is not harmonious to our 
inside home, there is a discordant impression. 
Changing Your Outlook 
You can change your outlook on life by 
changing your landscape, your scenery, 
your surroundings. Five minutes spent in 
contemplation of a well-planned bit of 
landscape furnishes a “mental bath.” We 
should have more of this about our homes 
that those who are nearest and dearest 
shall have a natural outlook, that their 
home may be truly a place of re-creation, 
re-refreshment; re-renewal. Environment 
exercises an almost unlimited influence. 
What have you done to improve the en¬ 
vironment of your home? 
As a general rule, it is necessary to 
wait a number of years for Nature to 
complete the picture which your imagina¬ 
tion has planned. With our plan it is 
possible by the use of specially well- 
grown nursery stock of greater age than 
ordinary to get such a finished result the 
first year as to surprise one. 
To the home owner who does not find 
it possible to invest in a complete plant¬ 
ing this year, we recommend what we call 
our “progressive planting program”, i. e. 
we work out a two to five year planting 
program, yet securing from each year’s 
planting a picture charming to behold. 
Our Landscape Department is in charge 
of two of the best landscape engineers in 
the country and we are in a position to 
supervise any kind of planting, carrying 
out the complete work from establishing a 
simple garden to completing an estate. 
We are primarily nurserymen. Our knowl¬ 
edge therefore of the plants themselves 
gives us the ability to choose material 
of the highest quality and conse¬ 
quently we make only a limited 
charge for plans and yet supervise 
the complete planting. 
We are in a position to send a 
member of our Landscape Engi¬ 
neering Department to any part of 
the United States to consult with 
you on your landscape problems. 
Our Landscape Department of¬ 
fers its services to you that your 
surroundings may be beautiful. 
We are specialists in NATURAL 
SCENERY. We are the scene 
shifters for the surroundings of 
fine homes. Our services are yours 
to command.
