PEACH TREES 
ELOW we list a few of the leading standard varieties of fruit trees, the majority 
of which we have tested out and found to be best for this locality. If the va- 
riety you want is not listed, write us. If we do not have it will get same for you 
if obtainable. 
Throughout the South, on most any kind of soil, peaches thrive and bear abun- 
dant crops of one of the best fruits obtainable. Every home should have at least 
enough for home use. In most places, peaches will pay better in commercial or- 
chards than most anything we can plant. 
Nursery stock is very scarce this season, especially peach in the larger sizes. If 
you intend planting this season it is advisable that you place your order as early as 
possible. If not yet ready for the stock, have it reserved for you to be shipped later. 
Varieties marked H-C are both home and commercial; those marked H are 
good for home use and C are commercial use. 
The figures ( ) denote ripening dates as (6-1) June Ist.

We recommend planting of the sizes above but we have the following small trees in most varieties, 
which are good trees, true to name and just as clean and healthy as the larger, but smaller and perhaps 
would take some extra care.

ARP BEAUTY (6-1). Early. Yellow with bright 
blush, semi-cling, a juicy, excellent peach of un- 
usually good flavor. (H). 
AUGBERT (8-20). A freestone very similar to El- 
berta but later in ripening. Considered much su- 
perior by some. (H 
BEAUTY (6-15). Extremely hardy, ripens with the 
Golden Jubilee, about the same quality, but is semi- 
cling instead of freestone. (H-C). 
BELLE OF GEORGIA (7-10). One of the best 
flavored white freestone peaches. Fine for canning. 
Very prolific. (H-C). 
EARLY ELBERTA (7-5). Same as Elberta, only 
10 days earlier. (H-C). 
EARLY WHEELER (5-20). Red cheek, showy, 
white flesh, cling, one of the best early commercial 
peaches. (C). 
ELBERTA (7-15). Large size; deep yellow, splash- 
ed with crimson; perfect freestone, vigorous and 
highly productive; last of July, most popular peach. 
(H-C). 
ELBERTA CLING (7-15). A duplicate of Elberta 
except it is a cling; large yellow with bright red 
cheek. (H-C). 
EARLY ROSE (6-1). White cling. Sure and reg- 
ular bearer; is inclined to overbear; should be 
thinned or the fruit is sometimes small. But if 
thinned is good size. It is always easier to thin 
than to put fruit on the trees. Quality better 
than Wheeler. (H-C). 
FRANK (8-20). Extra fine quality, large yellow 
cling, ripens just after the Elberta, when good : 
peaches are scarce and the demand is good. Regular Mr. Creed Friou, 
bearer, has not made a failure here in 30 years. Cleburne, Texas.

in GOLD STANDARD 
GOLD STANDARD (8-10). This peach orig- 
inated from a chance seedling in the nursery 
rows of one of our largest and best pioneer 
fruit growers of this section. Has never 
failed to produce since the mother tree bore 
its fruit in 1896. Beautiful golden with a 
lot of red, almost perfectly round; if not 
overloaded, extra large, but has a tendency 
to overbear in which case is medium size. 
Firm, but tender texture. Highly flavored, 
the best canning, preserving, drying and 
sweet pickling peach we have ever tried. I 
remember my father, a pioneer fruit and 
berry grower, bought these peaches from 
the originator before his large orchard came 
into bearing more than 40 years ago, and I 
have never seen a better peach for any pur- 
pose. This peach is one of the best ship- 
pers. We will not have any trees larger 
than 4 to 5 ft. this year. Prices 25c per 
tree higher than standard varieties when 
ordered alone. H-C. 
Below we give some of its history and 
what others who have known the Gold Stand- 
ard for years think of it.
