GURNEY’S DAKOTA PEACH— The hardi¬ 
est peach in existence has borne regular crops for 
many years, hardy in both wood and fruit 
bud, fruit as large as Elberta, quality and color 
very much better. We have a very limited sup¬ 
ply this season. Advise those planting north of 
Yankton to plant this Peach on south side and 
close up to house or fence for protection. 
MISS SOUTH DAKOTA PEACH— An ex¬ 
tra large hardy, freestone peach. Originated at 
Yankton. On account of this tree’s productive¬ 
ness and hardiness, and the high quality of its 
fruit, it is bound to hold first place among hardy 
Northern Peaches. This tree has been growing 
in the open without any protection and has stood 
South Dakota winters without any indications of 
damage.
