BRACKETT. (Named by us in honor of Col. G. R. 
Brackett, Pomologist, U. S. Department of Agri¬ 
culture, Washington, D. C.) After experimenting 
with the best named varieties, we have finally suc¬ 
ceeded in securing in the Brackett a Peach which 
fills a long-felt want. Before disseminating this 
valuable Peach, we have given it a thorough trial for 
seven years, and it has come up to our most sanguine 
expectations. Its period of ripening commences just 
at the close of the Elberta season. The fruit is a 
perfect freestone; large to very large, oblong, with 
sharp apex and shallow suture; color orange-yellow, 
washed red and mottled deep carmine, with a very 
dark carmine cheek; flesh deep yellow, juicy, highly 
flavored and of the best quality. This Peach is 
evidently a cross between Smock and Chinese Cling. 
It stands shipping well and promises to be a most 
popular variety. Make your reservations now. 
CARSON. (Originated in Hancock County, Georgia.) 
Above medium; very pale yellowish ground, totally 
overspread with light carmine, with deep carmine 
cheek; flesh white, very juicy, vinous, red near the 
stone. A sure and heavy bearer, and a desirable 
variety. Ripens last of July. Cling. 
KENT. A most desirable new variety which originated 
at Augusta, Ga. Fruit of large size, slightly de¬ 
pressed at apex; skin greenish yellow, tinted carmine 
at apex and on cheek; flesh yellow, buttery and of 
exquisite flavor; skin very tough but peels readily. 
Fine for canning and also an excellent shipper. 
After fruiting this variety for several years in many 
localities we recommend it unhesitatingly. Cling. 
Ripens August 1 to 15. 
WALLER. Yellow freestone, originating with Waller 
Bros., near Sparta, Ga. Matured (1908) one week 
later than Elberta. Evidently of Crawford type. A 
large Peach, but not averaging quite the size of 
Elberta. Very heavy bearer—fourteen six-basket 
carriers gathered from one four-year-old top-worked 
tree in July, 1908. Flesh yellow; stringy; quality 
good. Shows deep red color over more than half 
the surface of the Peach. 
PEARS 
As a rule, Pears are most successfully grown in a heavy clay, or clayey loam, that has been well 
fertilized. If grown in sandy soil, coarse manure or litter should be worked into the soil. Mulching is 
of great benefit, and the orchard should be kept cultivated at all times. 
This list of select varieties has been reduced to such as have been thoroughly tested and have proven 
valuable throughout the largest sections of the South. We grow Standard Pears principally, but can fur¬ 
nish Dwarf trees of a few varieties. See page 12.
