or fall. That is regulated by the opening of the season— 
early or late—and by the ripening of the stock in the 
fall; as the season for planting is not regulated so much 
by any particular month or day, nor by the state of vege- 
tation, but more particularly by the condition of the trees 
to be planted. It is therefore better that orders be sent in 
early so the stock can be shipped or delivered at the proper 
season in good condition. 
We replace all stock that die first year at half price, if 
customer has taken reasonable care of it. 
Further, it is mutually understood by purchaser that no 
salesman has the authority to change terms of replace- 
ment other than herein given, and for replacement on 
terms listed, the customer is to notify the Company at 
Higginson, Arkansas, by letter, giving such information 
as they may request from time to time, and that the re- 
placement cost is to be paid in advance of shipment, all 
replacements to be f. 0. b. Nursery, Higginson, Arkansas, 
in season following agreement on goods to be replaced. 
GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS 
While the greatest diligence and care to have all trees, 
etc., true to label, will be expressed, mistakes may occur, 
and in such cases, upon proper proof, the trees, etc., will 
be replaced free of charge, or the amount paid refunded; 
the method is to be at our option, replacement of goods or 
refund amount paid for them, but it is mutually under- 
stood and agreed to between the purchaser and ourselves 
that the guarantee of genuineness shall in no case make 
us liable for any sum greater than that originally paid for 
the trees, shrubs, roses, seed, plants, etc., that prove 
untrue. 
HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING 
SOIL, ITS PREPARATION, EXPOSURE, ETC.—Any 
soil that will grow good crops of corn and small grain will 
answer for fruit trees, etc. Eastern and northern ex- 
posures are usually considered best, but perhaps more de- 
pends on the quality of the soil and its preparation and 
after-cultivation than on the exposure. If the ground is 
naturally wet, spouty, and cold, artificial draining is nec- 
essary before planting. Any ground should be well pre- 
pared by twice plowing, using the subsoil plow after the 
common one at the second plowing, and stirring the 
ground 20 inches or more deep—the deeper the better. 
This is not only for trees, but small fruits as well. On 
good, rich soil, manuring will be unnecessary, but on thin 
or poor soil, fertilizer such as decomposed manure or 
compost should be applied freely. Never grow small grain 
in the orchard, but always some crop that will require 
thorough cultivation, and the rows of trees should be kept 
cultivated at least until the latter part of August. 
TRANSPLANTING.—When the trees are received, open 
the bundle and heel in, so that mellow earth will come in 
contact with all the roots. It may be necessary to apply 
water to moisten the soil. Before planting, the ends of all 
bruised and broken roots must be cut, sloping from the 
under side. If the soil is properly prepared, the holes 
need not be dug much larger than to receive the roots in 
their original position. In planting in soil, in yards or 
lawn, the hole should be dug 3 or 4 feet in diameter and 
a. little deeper than is necessary to set the tree, always 
using good mellow soil in filling in, pressing the ground 
well about the roots, and in such manner as to leave-them 

in their natural position as much as possible. Water free- 
ly used in planting helps to settle the earth about the 
roots. Mulching as soon as the tree is planted 3 to 4 
inches thick, and 3 to 4 feet in diameter, should be applied. 
but the earth should be well pressed about the trees before 
applying the mulching. 
PRUNING.—Cut, back one-third to one-half of last sea- 
son’s growth, and one-year-old peach to almost a bare 
stock, and headed back to the desired height, for forming 
the top; the buds on the body of the peach tree will make_ 
a better growth and form a better top than if the side 
branches are left on. It is not advisable to do this close 
pruning until just before the buds start in the spring. 
Remove the labels before the trees begin to grow.

2-YEAR-OLD PEACH TREES 

Peaches are about the most popular and delicious fruit 
we have. Arkansas grown Peach trees are in demand 
everywhere. Now is the time to set out new orchards and 
in three to four years you will have a full crop of Peaches. 
There will be a big demand for Peach trees this year; get 
your order in early so you will not be disappointed. We 
list only those varieties that have a ready sale on the 
market. 
RED ELBERTA.—Discovered in August, 1928, by Mr. 
Jay Perry in his orchard, Kennewick, Washington, grow- 
ing on a special limb of an Elberta tree and from this 
small limb, the present stock has been propagated, it being 
a true bud sport of the Elberta combines the long estab- 
lished good qualities of its parent along with desirable new 
features of commercial importance. 
This peach is identical with Elberta in tree and fruit 
except that the fruit ripens approximately ten days earlier 
than common Elberta and has fully double the red color 
of that variety. 
In the Redelberta nature has performed one of her pe- 
culiar pranks and produced a bud sport or mutation of the 
popular old Elberta. Into this bud sport nature packed 
all of the good qualities of the favorite old parent Elberta 
and also added the outstanding new qualities; double red 
color and early ripening. ;
