gt AND WHEN 
TO PLANT 
PEACHES ~* 
A GOOD TIME TO PLANT PEACHES 
Peaches have always been a quick mone 
y crop and one of th 
pian fruit crops. Planting at this time on suitable land phould See 
profitable. 
Peaches Afford Quick Returns. A properly cared for P. 
properly located, usually begins to aoe pchires at Anne een 
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 communities 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 consumption. 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. 
Much Depends on the Trees You Plant! We have found th 
old-time Native Seedling Peach affords the best root stock we a sae 
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 orchards, 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:

of poor quality, but always sells because 
of being the first on the market. Tree
