STATEMENT OF INSPECTION FOR TRUENESS TO NAME 
Amherst, Mass. 
October 29, 1940 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 
This is to state that all the saleable apple and pear trees now growing 
in the Wallingford Nurseries, near Wallingford, Connecticut, have been 
examined by me and, as they now stand in the nursery row all trees are, to 
the best of my knowledge and belief, true to name. 
J. K. Shaw, 
Research Professor of Pomology 
NON-WARRANTY 
We strive to avoid mistakes, but in the event that any nursery stock 
sold by us should prove untrue to the label under which it is sold, provided 
notice and proper proof are furnished to the seller, the seller shall, at the 
option of the buyer, either refill that portion of the order which was mis- 
labeled, by another delivery of stock or refund the purchase price. But in 
any case the seller is not to be held responsible for a sum greater than the 
original selling price of such stock. All sales or agreements to sell are made 
subject to shortage of nursery stock from fire, frosts, drought, or other causes 
beyond control of the sellers. 
APPLICATION OF PRICES 
Customers may select 5 of any kind (such as 5 peach) at the 10 rate, 50 
at the 100 rate. 
DISCOUNT 
5% discount may be deducted on all orders where the total amount is 
remitted with the order and this is sent before April Ist. 
SIZE OF TREES 
Caliper or diameter governs the size of all fruit trees except 1-year 
apple. Height is only approximate. 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some 
growers prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach 
trees, or early bearing varieties of apples, making them 20 feet apart, or if 
planted only in the center of the 40-foot space the distance will be 28 feet. 
As the trees begin to crowd, taking out one-half will leave them 28 feet 
apart and later when the remaining fillers are removed, the distance will be 
40 feet. Thus an income can be had for many years, when the permanent 
trees will need only a portion of the land.

THE NORTH EAST 
Fruit growing in the North Eastern United States has developed into 
one of our major agricultural industries, and well it should. There are natural 
advantages to this great section which should not be overlooked. Ze 
Its proximity to great consuming centers is its best ee a see

PEACH TREES 
SPRING DUG — FINEST TREES POSSIBLE 
For several years peach trees have been lightly planted in the North 
Eastern United States. The hurricane of 1938 ruined fully one half of those 
in production. The result, less orchards, less production and higher prices. 
Varieties for good commercial orchards have changed very rapidly over a 
period of twenty years. The State of New Jersey in its peach breeding work 
has continually introduced new varieties far superior to those previously 
commonly grown. We have endeavored to keep abreast of the times and as 
new varieties of superior merit have appeared, we have discarded the old 
and taken the new. This year is no exception.

Vedetta. A beautiful, large, yellow peach of Canadian origin following 
immediately after Golden Jubilee. 
Goldeneast. A very large, oval, highly colored, yellow fleshed peach, 
following Golden Jubilee and about two weeks before Elberta. Its unusually 
attractive appearance, high quality, large size and firmness stamp it as the 
finest introduction from New Jersey in several years. Our budding wood was 
purchased directly from New Jersey under the supervision of the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. We offer this variety this year for the first time at no 
additional price but only in connection with the purchase of other varieties. 
Eclipse. August 25th. Medium size, yellow freestone, red cheek. 
Hale Haven. This variety originated at the Michigan Experiment 
Station as a cross between South Haven and J. H. Hale. It is an improved 
South Haven, having large size, high color, excellent flavor and is very 
hardy. Don’t fail to plant Hale Haven. 
Belle of Georgia. September Ist. Probably the best known and most 
popular of white varieties. 
Elberta. September 4th. Known to all. King of Peaches.

a chance seedling of that variety. Not quite as much red, but otherwise . 
similar.
