HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT, INDIANA 53. Peaches To secure healthy, vig- orous and fruitful trees, the ground must be well drained and kept clean and mellow. Peach trees are easily cultivated and their freedom from dis- ease, the short time it takes to come into bear- ing and the immense de- mand for the fruit make them extremely profit- able. Peaches are borne on wood of the previous season's growth, and this makes it absolutely es- sential to prune the trees yearly, remove dead branches and let in light and air. Keep the trees in good shape and you will have splendid re- turns. Early Ripening Admiral Dewey (Free). A perfect freestone, of fine size, form and color, with delicious yellow flesh that is yet firm enough to ship well. The tree is a strong, hardy, symmetrical grower and produces well. We con- sider this Peach the very best tearly yellow free- stone. July. Belle of Georgia (Free). Very large, skin white, with red cheek; flesh white, firm and of excellent flavor; fruit uni- formly large and showy. Tree a rapid grower and very productive. July. Greensboro (Semi-Cling). Large, rather roundish; yellow with splashes of bright red; highly colored in the sun; flesh white, very juicy and of good quality. July. Lewis. The earliest white-fleshed freestone; attractively colored; a good shipper. Of vig- orous growth, very hardy, immensely produc- tive. Early July. Mayflower (Semi-Cling). It is a red Peach, absolutely red all over, even before it gets ripe enough to ship. Carries to market in fine shape and sells well, as it is the only early Peach that is well colored. A strong, thrifty grower, inclined to overbear, should always be thinned. Early July. Yellow St. John. A superfine early yellow freestone, nearly as large as Crawford, as finely colored and of even better flavor. I
