Flowering Peaches (4) 
Probably the most popular group due to easy culture, great beauty, remarkable productivity, 
and to the fact they can be cut freely for decorative material. It is very important to note that 
they should be pruned most severely as soon as they have finished blooming. Remove all of the 
previous season's growth except 4 or 5 inches. This entirely does away with curl-leaf; trees will 
be as large as ever by fall and will bloom all the better the following spring. 
Please note that all varieties mentioned have double flowers and that those in the “General 
Collection” are listed in the approximate order they bloom from early to late. 
NOVELTY 
Helen Borchers. Nearly everyone who has seen this claims that it surpasses all other Flowering 
Peaches. Not only does it produce enormous flowers up to 214 inches across but it yields them 
in extreme profusion. Color is clear shell pink. Originated here and first offered in 1939. ‘Only 
a few trees available at $1.25 each.

San Jose Pink. CEF. Far earlier than the others. 
Early Red. EF. Formerly the earliest. Good color. 
Peppermint Stick. DEF. Bears mainly white flowers with red stripes, some pink flowers with red 
stripes, and occasionally clear red flowers. Sounds bizarre but really handsome. 
Aurora. CDE. Soft pastel pink. Very vigorous. Bears small but excellent white-fleshed free- 
stone fruit. 
Early Double White. EF. Not quite as good as Iceberg but earlier. 
Red Pep. BC. Name is an abbreviation for “Red Peppermint Stick’ as we got this by bud selec- 
tion from that interesting variety. Result is a good midseason red. 
Burbank. CDE. Large; shell pink; very good indeed. 
Iceberg. BCDE. Easily the finest white. 
Camelliaflora. F. Very fine red, blooming after Early Red is gone. 
Double Cerise. DEF. Pink deepening to cerise with age. 
DWARE FORMS 
These are known collectively as the Mandarin Peaches and have a habit utterly different 
from the usual Peaches. They form attractive dwarf shrubs which, if grown in the ordinary way, 
will in several years make a globular bush four or five feet in diameter which blooms so freely as 
to look like one huge flower. However, their appearance is improved by top working on short 
stems. They are great favorites among the Chinese for growing in pots and tubs. Until recently 
they were available only in red, but by next season we expect to have Red, Light Pink, Deep 
Pink, and White. At present all we can offer is the new Light Pink on 2 ft. stems, usual heads 
$1.50, light heads $1.35; and Red on 1 ft. stems, light heads 75c. 
WEEPING FORMS 
As a group no further description is needed. They form beautiful garden specimens but 
should not be used as a source of cut sprays. The pink form is particularly fine and the red has 
the best shade of that color found in the Peaches. We also grow the white but have none to 
offer this season. 
Top worked on 4 ft. stems: heavy heads $2.50, usual heads $2.25, light heads $2.00.

Flowering Pears (5) 
A small but interesting group. We propagate only two, selected for fairly good flowering 
habit and the almost unrivalled beauty of their autumnal foliage tints. 4-5 ft. $1.00, 3-4 ft. 75c. 
PYRUS calleryana graciliflora. Has a fair crop of white flowers. Autumn coloring magnificent, 
a bronzy red tone predominating. 
PYRUS ussuriensis champali. A really fine flowering tree. The white flowers coming out ahead 
of the leaves are in large clusters strongly suggesting “Snowballs.” The orange and red autum- 
nal tints are excellent.
