Not difficult to grow, but the trees are happiest in well drained, 
rich soil. The Sour varieties grow more readily than do the Sweets, 
but you can have both if the location is good. Be sure to plant 
the trees as soon as they arrive—don't let them lie around. Press 
the dirt firmly around the roots; tramp it hard. Prune the same 
as apples or pears but do not cut the central leader.

SWEETS OR "HEART" 
CLUSTER AND SUB-ACID 
You may plant one of these varieties, and you will be rewarded. This 
group seldom fails to bear a good crop. 
EARLY RICHMOND. This old standard Cherry has been the favorite for 
years. The fruit is tart and very valuable for canning purposes. Yields 
necrly every year and reddens the tree with its wonderful crop. It suc¬ 
ceeds everywhere Cherries will grow and is the earliest in season. 
MAY DUKE. Ripens a little earlier than Early Richmond, and while not quite 
so vigorous in tree, the fruit is slightly superior. Has been tested and found 
worthy of a place in all Cherry plantings. 
This group grows luxuriantly, makes a fine show¬ 
ing for a few years, and then if not in soil that is 
exactly suitable, may die. These varieties are the 
hardiest of the group. 
BLACK TARTARIAN. Perhaps the most popular of 
the sweet varieties. Fruit is large, black, and 
heart-shaped. High quality. The tree is vigorous 
in suitable soil. 
GOVERNOR WOOD. Few Cherries are superior to it 
in quality or productiveness. Fruit medium size, 
soft, and of fine flavor; pale yellow with blush. 
YELLOW SPANISH. Later. Large, yellow, firm, and 
high quality. It is not quite as tender as some 
others, but the fruit can be adapted to a multi¬ 
tude of uses. Not planted as it should be. 
Elberta 
The Peach is the quickest maturing of fruit trees, often bearing the second 
year after transplanting. Plant only in well drained soil but otherwise follow 
methods recommended for other fruit trees. 
When planting, prune very severely, removing all side branches to short stubs 
and head low. The tree gets top-heavy if allowed to develop a high head. Sub¬ 
sequent orchard pruning consists of shortening the terminal growth and keeping 
the tree compact and shapely. 
The borer which hibernates right below the ground line and frequently girdles 
the trunk should be removed annually. A new chemical, Para-dichlorobenzine 
may be used to control this pest. Our orchard growing and nursery experience 
is always at your service. Write us your questions and we will try to help you.

MONTMORENCY. Gradually supplanting Early Richmond because of its size. 
Except for being a little later it is practically the same. Not quite as acid; 
when ripe is good to eat from hand. The tree is hardy, blooming late, and 
frequently will make a crop when the sweet varieties fail. 
Black Tartarian 
A home garden without Peaches? Can you imagine such a thing! Just think 
what you are missing—luscious fruit from late June to mid-October if you 
select an early, a midseason, and a late sort. One tree of each is better than 
none, but if you have space, plant five of each class. For a commercial orchard 
you need a special selection and several varieties—better write us and ask 
our advice. 
PLANTING AND CARE 
MAYFLOWER. (Free.) The earliest ripening 
Peach we grow. Very hardy and productive 
and red all over. June 25. 
CARMAN. (Free.) White, with red blush. Ex¬ 
tra hardy. Bears every year, and when it fails 
all else fails, too. Tree a robust grower and 
produces heavily. Carman should be consid¬ 
ered next to Elberta. We are partial to it. 
July 10 to 15. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. (Free.) A new, large, early 
Peach, highly recommended by the Kentucky 
Experiment Station and other leading au¬ 
thorities. Yellow with a distinct blush. Qual¬ 
ity fine. July 1 5. 
HILEY. (Free.) Follows Carman, and is an 
early Belle of Georgia. White flesh, firm, 
sweef, of good quality, and best of its sea¬ 
son. July 30. 
SOUTH HAVEN. (Free.) Better color and qual¬ 
ity than Elberta. Larger and ripens 1 0 to 14 
days earlier. Has been much hardier than 
other yellow Peaches and because of our 
tests we recommend it highly. August 5th. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. (Free.) White, with de¬ 
cided blush; excellent quality. Heavy and 
regular bearer. The best white-fleshed Peach 
for home or market. August 5. 
VALIANT. (Free.) A new, extra hardy out¬ 
standing variety of good quality. August 
10th.

covered with red; more highly colored than 
Elberta; flesh firm, melting, and of best 
quality. Ripens August 10 to 15. 
ELBERTA. (Free.) Fruit large, yellow, shaded 
with deep red. Elberta has been the standard 
Peach for years, and is just as good today.

ings are of Elbertas. August 15. 
HEATH. (Cling.) White, tinged next to the 
sun. A large, firm, juicy Peach of most 
pleasing flavor. Well known. October 1.
