Hints on Growing Peaches 
W E started growing peach¬ 
es as a commercial propo¬ 
sition solely to make our 
nursery business more cthcient. 
^Ve found it almost impossible to 
grow trees in a commercial way 
in the nursery without having 
an orchard of standard varieties 
from which to cut buds. There¬ 
fore, we planted four differem 
test-orchards, containing 100 va¬ 
rieties, G trees of each variety. 
In a few years these trees began 
to bear fruit, and then it became 
a question of disposing of the 
crop. We soon found that peach- 
growing on the Peninsula was 
profitable, and as a result we in¬ 
creased our orchard plantings 
year by year, until at the pres¬ 
ent time we have something over 
1000 acres in fruit trees, about 
oqually divided between peaches 
and apples. 
Different Krades of Peach Trees bandied 
ready to ship in sizes, viz: 6 to 7 ft.. 
6 toe ft., 4 to 5 ft., 3 to 4 ft., 
2 to 3 ft. 
We had a full crop of Peaches in 1922—Red Bird Cling. 
Greensboro, Carman, Slappey, Hilcy, Belle of Georgia, Ra}', 
Hale, Elberta, Brackett—over 300 cars gave us an opportunity 
to learn the value of varieties—and a chance to cut our buds 
from the fruiting trees when the fruit was ripe, and how you 
can tell the selected trees to cut buds from. Our buds are 
cut by careful men who have spent their life in the nurseries 
and orchards and know the value of keeping our varieties 
true to name to the best of our ability. Every variety 
growing and being propagated and sent out to our customers is 
absolutely true to name. We most respectfully invite you 
to visit our orchards and nurseries.
