STANDARD PEARS 
PEACHES 
The trees furnish excellent fruit for both eating out of hand and for 
canning purposes. Unlike other fruits, it should not be allowed to 
ripen on the tree but should be picked green and stored in a dark, 
cool place. Under such conditions the fruit will ripen perfectly. 
The peach prefers a light, well drained soil of sandy texture. The 
ease with which it grows plus the fact that it comes into bearing 
early, and its comparative freedom from disease makes it very 
popular. The fruit is delicate and of incomparable flavor.
