FREESTONE PEACHES 
Babcock. Finest for Southern Califor- 
nia, particularly in home gardens. The

Fruits practically fuzz- 
larger fruit and prevent breaking of the tree.

winter, they will produce consistently year after year regardless of the 
winter. Ripens in mid-August. (Pat. 473.) Each $2.00.

size, and round in shape. Late August. Each $1.50. 
J. H. Hale. An old favorite, large, round fruit, very beautiful to look

popular and excellent quality. Bears well except after very mild win- 
ters. Middle August. Each $1.50. 
Meadow Lark. First good yellow fleshed peach to ripen in Southern 
California. Every one likes yellow fleshed peaches, especially if they 
are the first ones of the season. This one is oh-so-good. Imagine a big

produce the second year. Mid-June. (Pat. 528.) Each $2.00.

ripe in October and November almost to Thanksgiving. Fruits large, 
with tasty yellow flesh. Each $1.50.

weeks later and is a finer peach than that variety. Late August. (Pat. 
84.) Each $2.00. 
Robin. Here is a peach you will be proud of. Trees grow rapidly and 
are specially bred for consistent crops. Also specially adapted to our
