PEACH 
Peach growing continues to be one of America's best — 
paying crops. No other fruit stands ahead of the peach — 
for general planting over a very large section of the coun- 
try. While the trees prefer a well-drained, sandy loam, 
they will adapt themselves to almost any well-drained loca- 
tion, if given proper care. Our wide range of varieties 
makes it possible for you to have fruit ripening over a long 
period of time. Varieties are listed in about the order in 
which they ripen, though some overlap and ripen about the 
same time. 
Spraying is necessary for peaches if best results are de- 
sired. Ask your state entomologist to send you a bulletin 
giving full instructions. The department will also tell you 
where to get machines and materials. Careful spraying 
» means profits in peach growing. | .

Mayflower. The earliest known peach, but blooms late and 
is seldom damaged by frost. Size medium, round; bright 
red all over; ripens well to the seed; tender, juicy, and of 
excellent flavor. Tree bears young and is very prolific. 
Red Bird. One of the best early peaches. Bright red 
color, with good flavor. Good shipper. Used as a com- 
mercial variety in the South. Fruit is large, white-fleshed, 
overspread with bright, glowing red. Earliness, high color, 
and productiveness make it a very profitable variety. Cling. 
Red Haven. A grand peach; the most promising new early 
yellow variety for either home use or commercial markets. It 
is extra early (ripens a month before Elberta), brilliant in 
color; fine flavored, being very sweet, juicy, and fine tex- 
tured; is an excellent shipper, having very firm flesh and 
' tough skin; perfect freestone, medium to large size. Smooth 
skin, almost fuzzless. Bears heavy crops. Originated at the 
Michigan Experiment Station and has been thoroughly tested. — 
Early Rose. Fruit beautiful brilliant red all over; flesh 
fine-grained, tender, and of best quality. Tree vigorous, 
hardy, and an early bearer. Tends to overload and should 
be thinned; where this is done, the most beautiful peaches 
can be grown. They carry well. Semicling. 
Carman. Among many white-fleshed peaches, few hold 
a more conspicuous place than Carman. It adapts itself to 
almost any climate and to a great variety of soils. Fruit is 
a brilliant red splashed with darker red on a creamy-white 
background; very nearly round in shape, and is scarcely 
surpassed in attractiveness when packed in box or basket. 
Quality and flavor very good. Tree is very hardy and 
abundant producer. 
Golden Jubilee. Unusually hardy, resists excessive cold: 
a sure cropper after severe winter and heavy frosts. Medium 
to large in size, ripens almost four weeks ahead of Elberta, 
and considered to be one of the best early ripening varie- 
ties. Fine flavor, yellow freestone, attractive color, and 
fine texture. Profitable for market and excellent for home 
use. It has been thoroughly tested, and we recommend it 
highly. 
Rochester. A large yellow peach, with a handsome over- 
color of mottled red. The flesh is thick and firm, marbled 
yellow, stained with red at the pit, juicy, rich, sweet: ex- 
quisite flavor. (Requires only half the usual amount of sugar
