Budded Peaches 
The Peach tree requires a moderately rich, well drained soil, and in order to preserve 
the continued healthy growth of the tree and thus cause it to produce well matured 
fruit, its branches should be headed each year. 
Peach trees when planted alone should be set twenty feet apart, or they may be planted 
between apple trees. Plant them deep enough so that the crooks in tree where budded is 
covered over with earth. 
In Nebraska we cannot expect a full crop of peaches each year, owing to our cold 
winters, which kill the bloom buds; but if you can only get a full crop once in three years 
they will pay you better than any other crop that can be raised in Nebraska, cherries and 
strawberries excepted. 
Below we give a short description of those varieties which we consider among the best, 
the greater number of which we have fruited in our own grounds. 
CHAMPION. Many specimens have 
measured 10 inches in circumference. The 
flavor is delicious, rich, sweet and juicy; 
surpasses all other varieties; skin creamy 
white with red cheek; strikingly handsome. 
It is hardy, productive, the largest size, 
highest flavor and best shipper of the early 
peaches. Ripens in early August. 
FOLLY. Most delicious of all. Polly is 
the outstanding hardy peach, originated by 
the Iowa State College. Judged on its 
orchard performance, Polly is probably our 
hardiest peach. Large size fruit, 2 y 2 to 3 
inches in diameter, a pale creamy-white 
overlaid with a deep red blush, freestone, 
white meated, juicy and of the highest 
quality; ripens about the middle of August. 
ELBEBTA. A Georgia cross between 
Crawford and Chinese Cling; very large, 
well colored; all things considered, the fin¬ 
est yellow freestone in cultivation; no one 
can go amiss by planting it; fruit perfectly 
free from rot, and one of the most suc¬ 
cessful shipping varieties. August 20. 
BED BIRD. A fine early peach; bright 
glowing red. A good shipper. Flesh juicy, 
firm and most delicious peach flavor im¬ 
aginable. Tree hardy and vigorous. 
MAYPIOWEB. Earliest peach known, 
semi-cling, medium size, color bright red; 
ripens well to the seed. Young and prolific 
bearer. Tree an upright good grower.
