POLLINATION With the exception of Mikado and J. H Hale, all the varieties we offer are self-fruitful. Extra Early Variety ^Arkansas Black Arkansas Stone Fruit Nursery Stock is VIRUS CpCC Our stone fruits are grown under the vigilant eyes of the â ^â â¢^^ inspector of the Arkansas State Plant Board in a region free from virus diseases, making it by far the safest and best nursery stock for you to buy. Virus diseases such as "Peach Yellows," "Phony Disease," "Peach Mosaic," and "Little Peach Disease" have ruined thousands of valuable peach orchards and practically wiped out the peach industry in certain peach-growing areas. These diseases are established in orchards by means of a few diseased trees in shipments of nursery stock and when planted these diseases spread from tree to tree by insects. The only control measures so far available are the destruction of the trees and planting of new trees grown in regions free of these diseases. Don't take any chances by ordering trees that might be infested with these diseases. ALL OF OUR STONE FRUIT NURSERY STOCK IS COMPLETELY FREE FROM VIRUS DISEASES AND IS THEREFORE THE BEST AVAILABLE FOR PLANTING IN ANY OF THE FRUIT-GROWING AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES. BE SAFE AND ORDER FROM US. DON'T RISK THE LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE ORCHARD. ANOTHER BRAND NEW PEACHâ The Arkansas Black is the earliest peach known in this section. The most beautiful color we have yet seen for a peach. They are a very dark red getting almost black; clingstone and of good qual- ity. They have a good color for several days before they are ripe, and from the time they are ripe the fine appearance they have and good quality make them sell like hot cakes. 1 to 3 ft., $1.02; 3 to 5 ft., $1.25 ASTONISHING LOW PRICES 5 Lot 2 Lot 12 Lot 25 Lot Under Not More Than 1 ft .20 ea. .24 5 Per Customer 1-2 ft .39 .42 .36 .34 2-3 ft .66 .69 .64 .58 3-4 ft .98 1.03 .93 .87 4-5 ft 1.19 1.22 1.15 1.10 5-6 ft , , 1.43 1.47 1.39 1.33 NOTf.- VVrife for special prices on large orders.

Jeffers, a well known Arkansas orchardist, got as high as $10.00 per bushel for Red Bird.
