In a consideration of new varieties advice should be obtained from the 
local agricultural representative or your nearest experiment station. In 
most cases it is wise to plant only small planting of new varieties.” 
You can not get a complete story on any variety in any Nur- 
sery Catalogue and this includes ours. The history, adaptability, di- 
sease resistance, shipping quality, and various other points concerning 
any variety is enough to fill a catalogue itself. Melvin Worley, during 
his studies at Penn State College spent several semesters studing varie- 
ties and orchard management and he is not able to give you complete 
information on all varieties, but we feel sure he is able to give you 
some valuable information concerning these varieties and with the 
use of his private library can give you complete details concerning 
this problem and various other problems connected with orchard man- 
agement. 
I do all the selecting of the buds to be sure at the start that 
they are true to name. My son and I travel over 5,000 miles during the 
budding season to cut buds from selected superior strains of fruit. We 
go to the bearing orchard where the orchardmen, we are sure, can take 
better care of the bearing trees than we could. 
After the trees are grown we get Dr. Upshall, who is the great- 
est authority in the world on peach varietial identification, to inspect 
our whole Nursery, not just part of it, to be further convinced that our 
trees are true to name. 
Below is a Letter of Certification from Dr. Upshall 
July 23rd, 1940 
This is to certify that Worley’s Nurseries salable stock of apple, 
pear, plum, and cherry trees has been inspected for mixtures in the 
summer of 1940 and to the best of our knowledge is true-to-name as 
it stands in the nursery row. 
It is impossible to positively distinguish all varieties of peaches 
in the nursery row, but the salable peach trees have been carefully 
examined and are thought to be true-to-name.
