Peaches 
Peach Industry 
Being 
Revolutionized 
New methods of freez- 
ing, evaporating and 
keeping fresh Peaches on 
storage are greatly en- 
larging the use of Peaches 
—insuring a good de- 
mand and a profitable in- 
come for years to come. 
The moderate planting 
of properly located or- 
chards has promise of be- 
ing a profitable invest- 
ment. 
PEACHES IN READY DEMAND. 
The fruit is most generally in de- 
mand at good prices, since the crops 
in various communities ripen at 
different times—preventing con- 
gested 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 mar- 
kets, large and small, to daily have fresh fruit from the

MUCH DEPENDS ON THE TREES YOU PLANT. 
Fibrous rooted trees; grown in our sandy loam soil, trans- 
plant with fewer losses and better results than trees 
grown in less suitable soil. 
NATURAL ADVANTAGES. Being located in the Commercial Peach Orchard Section 
of Virginia, we are able to study the varieties in bearing orchards and cut our bud- 
wood from bearing trees. 
adding the promising ones and discarding those less desirable. 
We have an opportunity of studying the new varieties, 
So we attempt to serve as 
a bureau of information to the commercial grower, as well as furnish dependable trees. 
We Offer the Following Choice Varieties 
ALTON. Large white, semi-freestone. Good 
quality for an early Peach. July. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. An old Peach yet un- 
surpassed for a white freestone home and 
commercial variety. Large, white skin, red 
cheek; sweet, excellent peachy flavor. 
August. 
BRACKETT. An improved Elberta, ripening 
a few days later; same size, better color and 
quality. Will hang on the tree longer than 
the Elberta and is a better shipper. 
CARMAN. An old favorite white semi-free- 
stone Peach which continues to be popular, 
because of its large size, being a prolific 
bearer, and having good canning qualities. 
July. 
CHAMPION. Another old home orchard fa- 
vorite. Large, white semi-freestone. Very 
hardy in bud, often producing a full crop 
when other varieties fail. A good home or- 
chard variety for the roadside stand and 
local market. August. 
CRAWFORD’S EARLY. Continues to be 
planted for home use because of its good 
quality. Yellow, freestone. August. 
CRAWFORD’S LATE. Another old variety 
which has survived in spite of numerous new 
and improved varieties. Yellow, freestone; 
firm, medium size, good quality. A very 
good shipper, but now planted only in the 
home orchard. Late August. 
EARLY ELBERTA. A yellow, freestone of the 
Elberta-type, ripening two weeks earlier. A 
desirable variety where a succession of ripen- 
ing fruit is desired for home use, roadside 
stand, and local market. 
* EARLY ROSE. A popular, early, white semi- 
freestone. Medium size, bright red cheek. 
July. 
ELBERTA. Continues to be the most exten- 
sively planted Peach, not the best Peach in 
quality, but its size, color and firmness com- 
bine to make it the most popular commercial 
variety. A lengthy description is not neces- 
sary as everyone knows the Elberta. Yellow, 
freestone; red cheek. August. 
GAGE ELBERTA. Differs from the old El- 
berta by being resistant to bacteriosis, which 
is one of the Peach growers’ problems in the 
South. Same size and shape as the standard 
Elberta, ripening five days later. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. While still a new Peach, 
it possibly ranks second among varieties in 
the number of trees being planted. It is one 
of the first yellow, freestone Peaches of good 
quality to ripen. Good shipping qualities. 
Demands the top prices because of its earli- 
ness and good quality. This excellent new 
Peach is now being planted in almost every 
commercial orchard, as well as in home or- 
chards. July. 
« GREENSBORO. An early variety planted 
commercially in the South and a very good 
Peach of its season. White, semi-freestone; 
red cheek. June,

the home orchard, as well as for the roadside 
market. June.
