PEACHES 
The name in parenthesis following variety name is the name of the 
orchard from which propagating buds are taken from the parent tree. 

Because Peaches come into bearing in three years, they are the 
quickest of all orchard trees to bear profitable crops. And because more 
trees can be planted per acre, the largest cash returns per acre can be 
expected. Used as fillers—set between permanent Apple trees—Peaches 
bring a quick profit from the orchard until the Apples come into bearing. 
As in other fruits, Greenings have played a star role in producing 
big profits from Peach orchards by improving varieties—maintaining 
standards—eliminating virus diseases and making available new varieties 
with merits of greater profit. 
Varieties following offer a wide range of the best varieties of the 
ripening season—a choice of exclusive strains, proven by progeny tests 
and by successful Peach growers as the leaders of the kind. 
You play safe with Greenings trees—for Greening Bud Selected 
quality only has made Greening one of the largest growers of Peach 
trees in America—trees that are inbred with factors that mean the 
biggest profit per tree and acre.
