WAYNESBORO NURSERIES, INC. 

WAYNESBORO PEACHES 
Peach Industry Being Revolutionized 
New methods of freezing, evaporating and keeping fresh Peaches on 
storage are greatly enlarging the use of Peaches—insuring a good demand 
and a profitable income for years to come. The moderate planting of prop- 
erly located orchards has promise of being a profitable investment. 
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 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. 
MUCH DEPENDS ON THE TREES YOU PLANT. Fibrous rooted 
trees, grown in our sandy loam soil, transplant 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 bear- 
ing orchards and cut our budwood from bearing trees. We have an op- 
portunity of studying the new varieties, adding the promising ones and 
discarding those less desirable. So we attempt to serve as a bureau of in- 
formation to the commercial grower as well as furnish dependable trees. 
PEACH TREES VERY SCARCE. Poor stands of seedlings and shortage 
of efficient labor have contributed to a serious shortage in Peach Trees 
in the Nursery row, possibly not more than half the number which 
would be planted this season if available. If you should not succeed in 
obtaining your requirements for this Spring’s planting, we agree to 
accept your order now for Fall, 1945 or Spring, 1946 delivery on any 
varieties we expect to have available. By doing so you will be pro- 
tected and will assist us in serving you better.
