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. Belle 
The moderate planting of 
of properly located or- Georgia 
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 
orchard, greatly increasing consumption. This has also 
made it advisable to plant a larger assortment of varie- 
ties ripening over a longer period. 
MUCH DEPENDS ON THE TREES YOU PLANT. 
Fibrous rcoted 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. 
We have an opportunity of studying the new varieties, 
adding the promising ones and discarding those less desirable. 
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 
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 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. 
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. 
Demards 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. 
HALE. A large, firm, yellow freestone. Golden 
yellow skin, red cheek. Excellent shipping 
qualities and demands the top prices on the 
market because of its size and good quality. 
Ranks high as a commercial variety. August. 
Good shipping qualities.

that of later varieties, but it has a place in 
the home orchard, as well as for the roadside 
market. June.
