PEACHES—For a Quick Profitable Crop 
Peaches Are Profitable—Coming into bearing early and 
always in demand, 
Peaches Afford Quick Returns—A properly cared for 
Peach orchard, properly located, usually begins to bring in 
returns at three years. 
A Sure Crop—A properly located Peach orchard seldom 
fails affording an income each year. 
_ Peaches in Ready Demand—The fruit is most generally 
in demand at good prices, since the crops in various communi- 
ties ripen at different times—preventing congested markets. 
Better Markets—The rapid increase in the population of 
the South, caused by manufacturing coming to the South, has 
greatly strengthened our Southern markets. Good roads and 
trucks have made it possible for markets, large and small, to 
daily have fresh fruit from the orchard, greatly increasing con- 
sumption. This has also made it advisable to plant a larger 
assortment of varieties ripening over a longer period. The 
future in Peach growing in suitable locations in Virginia and 
adjoining States is most encouraging. 
Start with Dependable Trees—We have found that the 
old-time Native Seedling Peach affords the best root stock we 
can obtain and that our sandy loam soil grows a much more 
fibrous, vigorous root system than clay soil. We have also 
found that the only possible way to grow Peach Trees true to 
name is to grow them ourselves, cutting buds from bearing or- 
chards, which is made possible by our being located near the 
commercial Peach belt of Virginia, where we can not only cut 
buds from bearing orchards but can study the varieties to know 
what to grow and recommend for various markets. With these 
natural advantages and the experience we have had in growing 
millions of trees, we are able to grow and furnish trees of the 
highest quality, true to name, and render the best of service. 
We Offer the Following Choice Varieties: 
ALTON. First early White Peach of good quality. Large, 
firm, red cheek, prolific bearer. Ideal to follow Red Bird 
where it is desired to have Peaches ripening in succession. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. Large size, white skin with deep red 
cheek, white flesh, firm and fine flavor; heavy bearer. Best 
canning qualities of any Peach on the market. Fruit ripens 
early part of August. Freestone. 
BRACKETT. An improved Elberta ripening a few days 
later; same size, better color and better quality. Will hang 
on the tree longer and will hold up for a longer time after 
being picked. 
Elberta 


Belle of Georgia 

CARMAN. One of the heaviest bearers, large size, creamy 
white, reddish cheek on sunny side. Semi-free. Ripens 
about middle of July. 
CHAMPION. White semi-free with red cheek. Will stand 
more cold when in bloom than most varieties. It has been 
a money maker for the growers, especially for local and road- 
Piside markets. Late July. 
GRAWFORD’S EARLY. Anexcellent home orchard variety 
because of its canning quality and Peachy flavor. Yellow, 
freestone, large and sweet. Early August. 
CRAWFORD’S LATE. An old-time yellow freestone. Good 
quality and popular as a home and roadside market variety. 
Late August. 
CUMBERLAND. Large semi-free; white flesh. Belle of 
Georgia type, ripening three weeks earlier. Excellent quality. 
EARLY ELBERTA. Very popular at one time because of its 
name, but has been forced to give way to Hale-Haven and 
other varieties of better quality ripening early August. 
EARLY ROSE. Rich, delicious, sweet flavor. Attractive 
flaming cherry red. Very early. 
ELBERTA. The most extensively planted Peach, serving as a 
standard from which the quality and ripening periods of 
other varieties are reckoned. While Elberta continues to be 
the leading commercial variety, earlier yellow freestone 
varieties of better quality are gaining in popularity. Until 
the newer varieties are better known, Elberta will continue 
to be the leader. Middle August. 
GAGE ELBERTA. Can be best described by quoting Dr. L. 
BE. Scott, of the Experiment Station at Columbia, 8. C.: 
“The Gage or Gage Elberta was found in an Elberta block in 
Illinois, apparently free from an attack of bacteriosis that was 
severe in that locality. The Gage is an Elberta type Peach, al- 
though a distinct variety, both in tree and fruit characteristics, 
ripening five days after Elberta, so that there is some overlapping 
of the harvest season. It has been found not entirely resistant to, 
bacteriosis, but it is much less susceptible than Elberta, and has not 
been observed with a severe attack. The foliage is particularly 
vigorous, seeming to withstand adverse conditions such as arsenical 
injury and drought. The tree is unique in growth, extremely 
spreading in habit, so that the scaffold limbs often grow out 
horizontally from the trunk. Production has been comparable to 
that of the heaviest producing varieties. The fruit qualities are 
good, the Peach larger than Elberta under similar conditions, 
developing extremely high color and of equally good edible and 
shipping characters. The Gage is probably the best bet for the 
grower who wants to extend the Elberta season.” 
Our Peach Trees are propagated from Virginia's most profitable orchards.
