HOW TO R'lAD
BLUE PHlitfTS
A practical coursa that will help
every man In the building trades
rru 1: IHE building trades are booming
There is a shortage of trained
men in many lines. Men who
can read blue prints are especially
in demand.
It isn’t hard to learn to read blue
prints if you go about it in the right
way. You can learn right at home
in spare time, through the inter¬
national Correspondence Schools,
without losing a day or a dollar
from your present work.
Through this course you not only
learn all you need to know about
building materials and specification
writing, but you work on actual
blue prints — the very same blue
prints a contractor would receive
if asked for an estimate, or a fore¬
man would receive from a contractor.
In a surprisingly short time you
can acquire a knowledge of blue
prints that will be of great value
to you in a salary way the rest of
your life.

1 FOUR NEW VARIETIES
PEACHES
rp ih , ? bri , . ? g j n £. e fourth , of a new
v anety of frmt 1S a compara
tlvel . simple and is
be y matter, to
encourj W ed - The introduc
tion of new varieties is the ba¬
sis of improvement of our
mestic plants.
An old variety may be propa¬
gated for several decades, and
there is practically no danger
of degeneracy; while on the
other hand it is practically im¬
possible to improve its many
characters. A variety has its
fixed characters and allows prac¬
tically no alteration. If a bet¬
ter fruit is to be had a new va¬
riety must be introduced. So we
should not be surprised nor dis¬
couraged at the constantly re¬
placing of a variety of fruit for
a variety that is more desirable
The Georgia Experiment
tion has recently brought to light
four new varieties of peaches.
In 1911 approximately 500 seeds
from the Elberta variety were
planted, all of these seedlings
were brought into bearing; and
out of this number, four were
selected as being worthy of pro¬
pagation. Two trees of each of
these are now in full bearing at
the Station, but have not as yet
been named. They are known by
the numbers, one, two, three, and
four; and are described as fol¬
lows :
No. 1, Yellow flesh, decidedly
free stone, medium size, well
colored, sweet, juicy, slightly
like the Elberta in flavor, pro¬
lific, and the size of the Elberta,
ripening 8 days later than the
almost immune to scab.
variety has a commercial
in that it ripens
later than the Elberta.
No. 2, Y'ellow flesh, decidedly
free stone, medium size seed,
prolific, well flavored but
juicy, high colored
red color of skin going
into the flesh, ripens 3
later than the Elberta.
variety tends to overbear,
it is as large as the
and possesses an attrac¬
that is very much de¬
by the commercial buyer;
is remarkably cold resistant.
No. 3, Yellow flesh, decidedly
stone, beautifully colored,
of seed extended slight¬
ly in to the flesh, sweet and
with a well developed flav
large seed, prolific, as large
the Elberta, and ripens 4 days
This variety is practically
from scab, and is very
for home use and the
market.
No. 4, Yellow flesh, decidedly
stone, well flavored, redness
seed extending into the flesh
the form of red streaks, med¬
size seed, larger than the
and ripens 10 days lat¬
Prolific, not subject to scab,
subject to brown rot. This
is not as attractive as the
three, but it possesses
possibilities in that
t closely follows the Elberta in
of ripening, and may thus
the harvest period.
The aim sought for in this
work was to get a variety that
the equal of the Elberta
commercially, and ripen about
ten days later.
