We started grow¬ 
ing peaches as a 
commercial proposi¬ 
tion solely to make 
our nursery business 
more efficient. We 
found it almost im¬ 
possible to grow 
trees in a commer¬ 
cial way in the 
nursery without 
having an orchard 
of standard varie¬ 
ties from which to 
cut buds. Therefore, 
we planted four dif¬ 
ferent test-orchards, 
containing 100 va¬ 
rieties, 6 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 Peach Trees—Graded, Ready to 
as a result we in- p ac k and Ship, 
creased our orchard 
plantings year by year, until at the present time we hav 
something over 1000 acres in fruit trees.
