RIO OSO GEM PEACH 
Rosedale’s Select Peaches for Home Planting 
Peaches are an all around useful tree for home planting. Few others do as well, so freely setting their 
luscious fruits with so little trouble. The trees bear well even while small, and never get very large. 
Ever pick peaches fresh from your own tree? If you have, you understand our enthusiasm for this choice 
fruit. If not, you have one of the greatest pleasures in store for you. 
There are two types of peaches, ‘‘clingstone’’ in which the 
stone adheres to the flesh when the fruit is cut in two, and 
“freestone’’ which does not. Clings are the finest for home can- 
ning, presenting a tempting color and possessing a rich flavor. 
Freestone peaches are best for eating fresh, although they can 
well, too. The yellow varieties are best for canning. Th2 peach 
season begins with Mayflower in May and ends with Krummel in 
October. Thus selections can be made to have peaches fresh in 
the garden long before and after they are on the market. 
CLINGSTONE PEACHES 
Price of Peach trees—Each, $1.85. 
Peaks Cling. Superior quality fruit—large, uniform in size and 
round with clear golden yellow skin. Deep yellow, firm flesh, 
sweet and tasty. Small stone, heavy bearing in mid-August. 
Orange Cling. Large orange-yellow fruits with d2ep yellow col- 
ored flesh for canning. This variety is the best for this purpose. 
Late August. 
Sims Cling. This fine quality peach bears consistently good crops 
each season. Golden yellow fruits, larger than average and of 
excellent quality to the pit. Late August. 
FREESTONE PEACHES 
Except where noted, prices of following, $1.85 each. 
Australian Saucer. Oddly shaped saucer-like peaches about 3 
inches across and less than one inch thick with a small round 
stone, but for flavor the sweet, juicy white flesh is very fine. 
One of the showiest trees for early spring flowers—beautiful 
deep pink. June. 
Babcock. Although not a large peach, the Babcock is the finest 
for Southern California, particularly in home gardens. The trees, 
usually small in size, bear prodigious crops year after year, often 
so heavy that thinning is often necessary to give larger fruit and 
prevent breaking of the tree. Fruits delicious, richly flavored 
white flesh. Attractive on the outside with their lovely deep red 
cheeks. Late June. 
C. O. Smith. Another consistently good bearer and a wonderful 
peach for home use. Fruits larger than Babcock with richly 
flavored, juicy white flesh. Late June.
