FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
Largest Growers in Virginia—Possiblyjthe East 
Our fruit tree business is chiefly with commercial planters, who are familiar with standard varieties 
and the quality of the stock we furnish. Therefore, in this catalogue we will not go into lengthy descrip¬ 
tions of varieties almost every commercial planter already knows. 
In our descriptions of the new varieties we will attempt to bring out any weak points the variety 
may have, as well as its merits, so that you may be guided by same in making a selection. 
We Are Continually on the Alert for Newer and Better Varieties 
We, however, do not attempt to offer a new 
variety until we have either thoroughly tested it 
ourselves or have accurate information from a 
reliable source. It costs too much money to in¬ 
troduce a new variety and to offer same before 
we are thoroughly convinced that its merits 
justify its being placed on our list and in your 
orchard. Within the past ten years we have not 
attempted so much to discover new varieties as 
we have to improve on the varieties we already 
have. Much has been accomplished in that di¬ 
rection. Improvements have been confined chiefly 
to color. 
Among the improved strains are the New Red Delicious, 
New Red Stayman, New Red Jonathan, New Red 
Rome, New Red Duchess, and Red Spy. The outstanding 
New Red Sport is the YORKING, which is one of the few 
Apples ever to be honored with a United States Patent. 
The YORKING is a sport of the Standard York, differing 
by being a solid red and coloring two weeks earlier. 
In recent years most of the new varieties have been 
sports. The Turley, however, has been an exception, being 
crossed with the Winesap family. Resembles the Stayman, 
but has better color and does not crack. 
PROGRESS MADE WITH OTHER FRUITS 
Equal progress has been made in improving varieties of 
Peaches, Cherries, Pears, Plums, Strawberries, and other 
Small Fruits. 
The Golden Jubilee, Hale Haven, Valiant, South 
Haven and Vedette —each being a Yellow Freestone Peach 
of good quality—have been well received and have great 
promise. 
BERRIES GREATLY IMPROVED 
The New Patented Acme Thornless Youngberry is 
not only a greatly improved, most delicious fruit, but its 
vine is without the objectionable saw teeth and cat claws 
which leave thorns in the flesh and torn clot hing . 
The Boysenberry, which has been produced by cross¬ 
ing the Blackberry, Raspberry and Loganberry, has pro¬ 
duced almost unbelievable results, the Berries averaging 
1 Vi inch in length and producing as much as 6J4 tons per 
acre. 
The Native Blueberry has been improved in both size 
and quality, the improved being as large as Cherries and 
of a most delicious quality. 
A Block of 350,000 Old Time Peach Seedlings Soon to be Budded 
to Commercial Varieties 
The Gem Everbearing Strawberry is 
no doubt outstanding among the New 
Strawberries. The Fairfax and Dorsett, 
however, are valuable acquisitions and 
will do much to increase Strawberry con¬ 
sumption and bring better profits.
