FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
PEACH TREES 
No long winded talk about peach trees is necessary. They 
are entirely at home in the South and Southwest, and cer- 
tain varieties may be grown on any kind of soil, and in 
every county in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and 
the South. If you do not know what varieties are best for 
your locality,, leave it up to us, we will select those varieties 
that will give you fruit. The trees we offer you this year 
are the best that can be grown; fine root systems, smooth, 
healthy bodies and limbs. You could not buy a better tree 
at $1.50 each. 
The 2 to 3 foot trees quoted below are fine young trees, 
used largely by orchardists, commercial growers and large 
home orchards. They usually bear three years after planting. 
The 3 to 4 foot trees quoted below are bought generally 
by people who want a good young tree, at a low price, 
and are in no particular hurry. These 3 to 4 foot trees 
usually bear two years after planting. 
The 4 to 5 foot trees quoted below are planted by the 
average home owner that does not want to plant too large a 
tree. These are partly branched and sometmes bear year 
following planting, and if not will bear second year. 
The 5 to 6 foot, well-branched, bearing size trees quoted 
below are the best that can be had, at any price, and are 
selected from thousands of trees for customers who want 
the best. These trees usually bear the year following plant-
