Here is another fruit that ought to be in every garden. The trees will grow in a small 
space and yield freely if taken care of properly; 
right care. Peach trees bear w

Peaches will do well on almost any soil that has good drainage, regardless of character 
or color, but if very poor, fertilizing will bring 
the trees along. There is no material differ- 
ence which way it slopes. The care given the trees is the main factor that makes for 
success or failure.

VERY EARLY PEACHES 
MAYFLOWER. Semi-cling. May 20 to 25. 
The earliest Peach known, but blooms Iate 
and is seldom damaged by frost. Size 
medium, round; bright red all over; ripens 
well to the seed; tender, juicy, and of 
excellent flavor. Tree bears young and is 
very prolific. 
MIKADO. A new introduction. A large 
yellow Peach, semi-cling, of excellent eating 
quality. A real “peachy” Peach, but 
bruises too easily to be shipped success- 
fully. Ripens just after Mayflower. Very 
hardy and productive; profitable for both 
home and market. 

SECOND-EARLY PEACHES 
DIXIGEM. Freestone. Ripens just ahead 
of Golden Jubilee. The medium-sized; 
yellow fruit has a bright red blush. Fine 
texture and excellent flavor. Vigorous; 
free bearer. 
EARLY ROSE. Semi-cling. Middle of June. 
Fruit beautiful brilliant red all over; flesh 
fine-grained, tender, and of best quality. 
Tree vigorous, hardy, and an early bearer. 
Tends to overload and should be thinned. 
GREENSBORO. Semi-cling. June 1 to 10. 
Large for so early a Peach; beautifully 
colored light and dark red, shaded yellow. 
Ripens perfectly to the seed.
