Fruit Department 
No home is complete without a few fruit trees, grape vines, or berry plants growing around the 
yard. With proper planning and care it is possible to grow a variety of fruit on a comparatively 
small place. By doing so, one not only adds attractiveness and value to the home, but also derives. 
fresh fruit during the season. True, that no home is too small for an orchard or a few fruit trees; 
neither is a farm or ranch too large for an orchard planting. There are three good reasons for plant- 
ing an orchard on your farm. First, it will be a source of food for the home, giving fresh fruits in 
season and they can also be canned to offer cooked fruits throughout the year. Second, it will be 
a source of income that will help the financial problems of a farm. Third, it will help complete the 
farm and add to the value of it. 

PEACHES 
The peach is probably the most widely grown of all fruits, being produced over a wide variety of 
soils. No home should be without one or more trees of this valuable fruit. Select varieties to give 
a succession of ripening dates. Plant heavily in commercial orchards. Peaches should be planted 25 feet 
apart or 69 trees to the acre. The following list of varieties we offer are grouped according to 
the ripening dates. These dates are only estimates, as they will vary in the different sections of the 
country and under different climatic conditions.
