Peach Industry Being Revolutionized 
The Peach, an old favorite in the fruit family, is now making new friends. Recent chemical discoveries have simplified spraying, market expan- 
sion has been made possible by modern methods of freezing, home freezing units, frozen food locker plants, new methods of canning and keep- 
ing fruit fresh in storage. Planting of properly located orchards consisting of improved varieties has promise of being a profitable investment. 
NEW METHODS SIMPLIFY PEACH CULTURE—At one time 
borers discouraged Peach culture, but Paradow Peach Gas eliminated 
much of the trouble. The recent introduction of DDT has made possible 
almost the extermination of the borer, Oriental moth, and curculio with 
much less effort and expense than the old methods. 
IMPROVED MARKET CONDITIONS—Population in the South 
has advanced with industrial development. Improved highway and haul- 
ing facilities are enabling markets, large and small, to provide the ‘con- 
sumer 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 differ- 
ent times, the market is seldom congested. However, modern fruit pro- 
cessing plants are ready to handle any surpluses which may develop. 
FROZEN PEACHES IN GREAT DEMAND—Frozen fruit processing 
plants have created a new, profitable market for Peaches. Home freezers 
and frozen food lockers have likewise extended the local market for fresh 
fruit. The frozen fruit industry is just in its infancy, so in adding new 
varieties we are considering their freezing qualities. 
ADVANTAGES IN PLANTING WAYNESBORO NURSERIES’ 
TREES—Being located in the Commercial 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. We 
can thus study new varieties, adding those which are promising and dis- 
carding less desirable ones. In this way we attempt to serve the commer- 
cial grower as a source of information, as well as furnish dependable trees 
grown in our sandy loam soil, noted for producing an excellent root system. 
We Offer the Following Choice Varieties
