Peaches Of Any Size Grown Near
Here This Year.

"There," said w. d. ingalls,, proprie-
| tor of the North Yakima nursery, as
he stood proudly surveying a waving
| forest of green, lis the finest block of
young peach trees in central Washing
ton. It Is my especial pride, and 1t
is the hope Of those in this section
of the state who intend to set out
peach orchards this year. was sue
cessful where all other nursery men
failed, and have the only block of
young peach trees at North Yakima
suitable for sale and planting this
fall.
at is not of the number and size
alone that am so proud" he contin-
ued, but Of their quality as well.
There you see $4,000 symmetrical,
strong young trees and there is not
grated one in the block; every one is
budded. will get out Of grated stock
Just as. soon as can, for 1t has come
to be a generally recognized fact that
budded trees are harder, bear younger
and produce finer fruit than grated.
| These trees speak for themselves, don't
they"
~ a tree to be seen that was less than
four feet in height, and they include
all the varieties that are favorites with
Yakima planters. the Alberta predoni-
mating. Near the peach block was a
smaller lot of peach plums that were
equally fine. Then came the apples,
row after row, block after block. Mr..
ingalls, never produced finer trees than
he has this year, and his display at
the state fair this fall will prove this
to the satisfaction Of all who are in
terested. And the quantities of each
kind are so great that no uneasiness
need be felt about the supply this fall.
There are $4,000 Rome Beauties in
block by themselves and $4,000 Stamen
Winesaps nearby that have this year
attained growth that would at first
indicate Q years Of age. In another
block are $4,000 Spitzenbergs. OF this
variety there has never before been
enough to supply the demand, and Mr..
ingalls, will try to have enough on
hand this year. The coming three
months is the growing time for the
young trees, and considering the
growth they have made up to this time.
by the middle of October the will be
the largest of their age ever offered
for sale in the county. They promise
to run from four and a half to six
| feet in height then-the best size for
packing and shipping, and the best
size to plant.
planting is going to be heavy this
fall" said Mr.. ingalls,. IT am selling
large orders now throughout the north
| part Of the state, where they can't
raise trees, and wouldn't II they could.
Why? Because 1t Is becoming widely
known that nowhere else on earth can
trees be so satisfactorily produced for
| planting in all parts Of the northwest
as in the Yakima valley-and the IA
vored spot in the valley. the best for
all kinds of fruit Is on Mob Hill. I
am prepared to furnish more than a
third of a million trees this year. Will
sell them all? Yes; every one. I
expect to be sold out early. have
more than forty acres in all, including
the block of fine young pear trees on
rented ground, containing $4,000 trees
Pears are in great demand. and I am
sorry I have not $4,000 of them"
The North Yakima nursery Is doing
a great deal in advertising the Yakima
country. and doing It In a beneficial
manner. The greatest care is taken
to have every tree delivered in per-
feet condition and absolutely true to
name Securing healthy scions from
early bearing trees Of prolific variety
| Is another matter that receives the
proprietor's most careful attention. His
business is growing every year. and
he Is now looking about for additional
land for use as nursery purposes.
