Ramsey’s Peaches for Texas and the Southwest 
With most people, the PEACH is the favorite fruit. It may well be called the 
QUEEN OF FRUITS. Fortunate it is that in all parts of Texas and the Southwest, 
peaches can be grown; and, in the more adapted Peach section, the finest fruit that 
can be produced in the world. 
Successful Peach and Plum growing depends greatly on the selection of proper 
varieties. Texas and other parts of the Southwest of similar latitude give as wide a 
range of variety requirements as the territory from the Gulf Coast to the most North¬ 
ern States. 
Therefore we give below lists of proper Peach varieties for the different sections. 
It is necessary to confine selection to these varieties for best results.

TEXAS VARIETIES OF PEACHES 
Few people realize how many good varieties of Peaches are of strictly Texas 
origin. In describing varieties, we often want to say, “This is the Best”. There is hardly 
ONE best variety. All good kinds have superior points. But we can truthfully say 
that the following lists of Peaches, of Texas origin, introduced by our Nursery, during 
the lifetime of F. T. Ramsey, and by the late J. W. Stubenrauch, are not surpassed. 
In fact, they will make a complete orchard anywhere. See descriptions following.

DORMANT-BUDDED FRUIT TREES 
Our fruit trees have two year old roots, and one year old tops, the best possible 
age for transplanting. These are in contrast to JUNE-BUDDED trees, which have roots 
eight months old and tops five months and which we do not consider strong enough 
for most parts of the Southwest. 
DESCRIPTIONS OF PEACHES 
Dates of ripening given are the average 
at Austin, but these will vary several days 
to several weeks, according to the year and 
location.
