FRUIT for NATIONAL DEFENSE 
Make your home an arsenal of healthful fruit for National Defense. 
Fruit helps form sound, healthy children full of energy and life. 
Just a few dollars invested in trees and vines chosen to tipen fruit in succession 
will supply a family with fresh fruit in season and a surplus to can, preserve, pickle 
—and a surplus to sell. Few things will give as much pleasure and enjoyment as 
fruit, berries, grapes, apples, figs, etc. In the home orchard, many varieties can be 
grown and enjoyed that cannot be bought. 
PEACHES 
(listed in approximate order of ripening.) 
MAY FLOW ER—Earliest of all to ripen. White 
flesh, freestone. Juicy. Mottled red. 
ARP BEAUTY—Early yellow semi-cling. Ripens 
first half of June. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE — Early yellow freestone, 
similar to Elberta. Large, delicious. June. 
CARMAN —One of best white freestones. 
Sweet. Good producer. June. 
HILEY—Juicy, prolific white freestone. Pro- 
lific. Good shipper. Last of June. 
FAIR BEAUTY—Yellow flesh, almost free- 
stone. Profitable market peach, ahead of 
Elberta. 
HALE HAVEN—One of newer Elberta-type, 
yellow freestones that is becoming one of the 
most profitable for market. Beautiful; high 
quality; prolific. It gets to market 2 to 3 
weeks ahead of Elberta. Good shipper. 
EARLY ELBERTA—Yellow flesh freestone, 7 
to 10 days ahead of Elberta. Good quality. 
ELBERTA—Well known, yellow flesh freestone familiar to everybody. Improved strain. 
LEONA—One of the most beautiful, largest and finest flavored yellow-flesh freestone peaches in 
our orchard is Leona. Heavy producer and wonderful quality. Ripens almost with Elberta and 
far superior to it. Highly colored red and yellow. 
J: H. HALE—Follows Elberta. One of largest, most beautiful peaches. Red color; yellow flesh. 
Brings high prices where it produces well. Sometimes this peach doesn't yield well for some - 
reason, but it surely is a dandy. 
FRANK—This variety is proving a disappointment in so many places that we have decided to 
drop it from our list. We pulled up 50 trees from our orchard after failing to make anything 
from them for six or eight years. 
RED INDIAN CLING—Well-known for pickling qualities and preserving. 
CHARLOTTE—We still think this is the most beautiful peach ever produced, and that it is one 
of the greatest money makers, but we have only two or three hundred trees this season unsold 
when this catalog is being printed; so we are not reproducing it in full color in our catalog. 
Ripens about 10-14 days after Elberta, freestone, yellow flesh, strikingly beautiful. Originated 
by J. A. Evans. Next year we hope to again have a full assortment of the dozen or so of the 
mew Evans peaches for you. Charlotte, with its striking beauty, comes in right at the time 
when peaches are scarce and in demand at good prices. Just a few trees for trial, 3 for $1.98 
postpaid, but don’t be disappointed if we have sold out and have to send your money back. 
PLUMS 
SIX WEEKS—Large, bright-red. Last of May. Earliest good plum. 
BRUCE—Very large, firm shipper. Early. Has been our most profitable plum. Red. 
AMERICA—Yellow, with red cheek. Enormous producer. One of best and surest. Cooking. 
GOLD—Large yellow. Sure bearing. Cooking. 
COMPASS—Medium size, dark red. Fine pies and cooking. The nearest thing to a cherry that 
will grow in some places. Excellent producer. 
PERSIMMON 
EUREKA—Red fruit resembles large tomato. One of hardiest. Almost seedless. Few trees are 
se ornamental in the fall than one of these loaded with huge, highly colored fruits. Delicious 
or eating.
