After careful testing, the late Charles J. Goodman 
planted 3,000 trees in 1910 and we commenced to sell 
trees in 1915. Today I am selling more trees of this 
variety than of any other clingstone peach. Z.Akers, 
Shepparton Fruit Preserving Co., Shepparton, Victoria, 
has a block of 6-year-old Goodman's Choice and he 
claims to have harvested an average crop of 3| bushels 
of fruit per tree when the trees were just four years 
old." 
Prom E. Meeking, Senior Fruit Inspector, Mel- 
bourne .Victoria, June 14, 1922: "The Goodman's Choice 
variety of peach is considered , in the opinion of those 
competent to judge, the best canning peach which has 
yet been produced. It is a good cropper , produces uni- 
form fruits, is of excellent color and texture,and its 
flavor is considered . superior to that of any other 
canning peach yet produced." 
From L.J. Wicks, Highbury, South Australia, July 
13,1922: "As a canning fruit Goodman's Choice is cer- 
tainly 0. K. The texture is just right; it makes a 
rather pale sirup which, however , is remarkably clear."
