improved varieties has promise of being a profitable investment. 
Population in the South has ad- 
vanced with industrial development. Improved highway and hauling facilities are 
enabling markets, large and small, to prov ide 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. Since the fruit in various Peach growing 
sections ripens at different times, the market is seldom congested. However, mod- 
ern fruit processing plants are ready to handle any surpluses which may develop. 
FROZEN PEACHES IN GREAT DEMAND—Frozen fruit processing plant 
have createda new, profitable market for Peaches. Home freezers and frozen food 
lockers have likewise extended the local market for fresh fruit. It is claimed that 
the frozen fruit industry is just in its infancy, so in adding new varieties we are

WHY PLANT WAYNESBORO NURSERIES’ TREES—Being located in 
the Connery Peach Orchard Section of Virginia, we are able to make variety 
research in bearing orchards, to take advantage of valuable information furnished 
by various State and Federal Experiment Stations, and to cut our budwood from 
fruiting trees. Wecan thus study 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.
