WAYNESBORO, VIRGINIA 7 

Peach Industry Being Revolutionized 
The Peach, an old favorite in the fruit family, is now making 

new friends. Market expansion has been made possible by new \ 
methods of freezing, canning, evaporating and storage. A mod- y ; 
erate planting of properly located orchards has promise at \ oe 
this time 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 and markets are seldom congested. 
CONSUMER INCREASE—Population in the South has advanced with 
industrial development. Improved highway and hauling facilities are 
enabling markets, large and small to provide the consumer with fresh 
fruit daily from the orchard. For this demand, it is advisable to plant 
a larger assortment of varieties ripening over a longer period. Belle of

WHY PLANT WAYNESBORO NURSERIES’ TREES— Being located 
in the Commercial Peach Orchard Section of Virginia, we are able to 
make variety research in bearing orchards and to cut our bud wood from 
bearing trees. We can thus examine new varieties, adding those which 
are promising and discarding those which are less desirable. In this way 
we attempt to serve the commercial grower as a source of information 
as well as to furnish dependable trees, grown in our sandy loam soil, 
noted for producing an excellent root system. 
SUPPLY LIMITED—The scarcity of efficient labor has 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. You are urged to place your order early so that trees 
may be reserved.
