A field of yearling peach trees in the ‘“‘C. & O.’’ Nurseries. Note 
the long straight rows and the uniform, thrifty growth. 
PEACHES 
Arp Beauty. (F) One of the earliest good yellow peaches. Fruit 
medium size, creamy-yellow skin, heavily blushed with red. 
Flesh light yellow, firm, juicy, sweet, excellent quality. Trees 
hardy, productive. 
CANDOKA. (F) U.S. Plant Pat. 51. Fruit very large, about 
same size as J. H. Hale. Skin described as ‘’fuzzless’’, deep yel- 
low, almost entirely covered with bright flaming red color. Very 
beautiful and striking appearance. Flesh exceptionally firm— 
almost as solid as a clingstone. It can be left on the tree until 
almost ripe before picking for shipment. Flesh is clear golden 
yellow, richly flavored, remarkable quality, fresh, cooked or 
canned. Ripens about same season as J. H. Hale. Candoka is one 
of the best shippers we have observed in any freestone peach. 
With Candoka we recommend an interplanting of about 10 per 
cent of another peach variety for pollenization purposes. In our 
orchards at Wenatchee the Slappy peach has proved a good pol- 
lenizer for Candoka. 
CHAMPION. (F) Fruit large, round, white-fleshed, good 
quality. Firm, sweet, delicious flavor. Color, creamy white, pink 
on sides, red cheek where exposed to sun. Champion is one of 
the best of the early white peaches. Comes into bearing early, 
one of the hardiest peaches, very productive. 
Early Crawford. (F) Fruit large, yellow flesh, good quality, rich 
flavor, slightly sub-acid. Color golden yellow mottled with rich 
red. Good canner and dessert peach. Moderately hardy. Ripens 
50 days later than May Flower and usually 10 days before Elberta. 
Late Crawford. (F) Large, yellow with red cheeks. Flesh yel- 
low, good quality and flavor. Ripens a few days after Elberta. 
Trees vigorous and hardy. 
Elberta. (F) Leads all other peaches in America in number of 
trees planted and for 50 years has been one of the most popular 
peaches on the markets. Fruit large, bright yellow with red 
cheek. Flesh yellow, stained with red near pit. Good shipper. 
Early Elberta. (F) 
good shipper. 
Large, golden yellow. Excellent quality, 
Note: See also ‘‘Redelberta’’, a bud-sport of Elberta, and a 
genuine Elberta in every respect, but with double the red color, 
and ripens fully ten days earlier. See page 3. 
From CALIFORNIA: 
“Well pleased with the Golden Jubilee peaches that you sent 
me. Glad I planted 360 trees this spring—and talk about growth—they 
have the look of two-year-old trees.’ (Note: This grower planted 420 
more trees the following spring.) 
“T was delighted with the CANDOKA PEACH. My trees were two 
years old and I had a number of boxes of fruit. I expect to plant more 
this year.’’—Emil Kayser, California.

REDELBERTA (Trade mark reg.) U.S. Plant Pat. No. 232. 
(F) A bud sport of the Elberta. A true Elberta in all respects 
except that it matures fully ten days earlier and has double the 
red color of Elberta. See page 3. 
Gold Medal Peach. (F) (Fay Elberta) A yellow freestone some- 
what similar to Elberta. It has a smaller pit and ripens a few days 
earlier than Elberta. A good shipper, an excellent home orchard 
variety and a good canner. 
Golden Jubilee. (F) The earliest quality freestone peach. A 
good commercial money maker. Desirable for home orchards. 
In our own C. & O. orchards we have sixteen Golden Jubilee trees 
in bearing. The fruit ripens a week earlier than the Rochester 
peach. It is slightly larger than Elberta, attractive in appearance 
and of excellent quality. Golden Jubilee is one of the best early 
yellow freestone peaches. We recommend it especially for earlier 
districts. 
J. H. Hale. (F) Very large, golden yellow overlaid with bril- 
liant carmine coloring. Yellow flesh, solid and meaty. Firm but 
delicate texture, free from stringiness. First class shipper, does 
not ‘’squash’’ down in packing. Fruit averages half to third 
larger than Elberta. Ripens week to ten days later than Elberta. 
Trees are vigorous, robust growers, hardy. J. H. Hale is a com- 
mercial peach of first rank and measured from the standards of 
excellency one of the very best varieties. 

RIO OSO GEM 
A profitable late ripening peach. 
“The Rio Oso Gem is a wonderful peach. The three-year-old trees 
I purchased from you were full of fruit last year.—A. R. Burford, Ore. 
“The few Candoka Peach trees we bought from you some time ago 
were full of very fine fruit the season just passed.’’—J. P. Moon, Idaho.
