THE 1947-48 PEACH TREE SUPPLY 
Due to adverse growing conditions during 1946 and 
1947 seasons the nurserymen of the Nation are again 
confronted with very short stocks in good yearling 
peach trees. Reliable reports from all nursery sec- 
tions as well as our own observations indicate that 
the better grades will be scarce. 
June buds generally will run to the smaller grades 
due to poor growing conditions in the producing 
areas. 
Here at Bountiful Ridge we are fortunate to have 
an increased production and hope to have a good 
amount of the larger grades in most varieties. Some 
important commercial varieties will be short how- 
ever. Our supply is about 55% of normal. 
We feel that large commercial plantings will be 
somewhat curtailed, unless early buying is practiced. 
Plan carefully your future planting—watch variety 
trends—new market developments which are coming 
into the picture to absorb future production. 
Bountiful Ridge will make every effort to keep you 
posted on changes in the fruit industry and lend our 
entire cooperation to make your future plantings a 
success.

Growers in highly infested nematode areas should 
plant nematode resistant root stock on all peach 
varieties when available.

1947 and Spring 1948 we will have the more popular 
commercial varieties next year and thereafter in 
yearling stock only. 
It pays to protect your orchards and future income 
at the outlay of a few cents more because you get 
early and rapid growth of tree—longer lived tree-

DIXIRED (a) 
A NEW EARLY YELLOW PEACH 
RIPENS TWO WEEKS BEFORE GOLDEN JUBILEE 
ATTRACTIVE OVERALL RED COLOR—GOOD 
QUALITY—FIRM SHIPPER—PRODUCTIVE 
Dixired is a product of the U. S. D. A. Experiment 
Station at Beltsville, Md., and tested largely in 
Georgia and South Carolina as FV 5-70. 
The fruit ripens about with Erly-Red-Fre or two 
weeks earlier than Golden Jubilee. 
It is a clingstone, medium size, round with light 
pubescence. About three fourths of the surface igs 
covered with a bright attractive red blush. Flesh is 
yellow, firm but melting, medium textured and of 
good flavor. 
The outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its 
unusual firmness and slow rate of softening for an 
early peach, plus an attractive appearance. The 
fruit acquires color long before it is ready to pick. 
Dixired is recommended for trial as an early ship- 
ping peach. Trees limited.
