403 Perfect peaches on 



4 year old tree. 



Mr. C. E. Strawbridge. of 

 Lima, Ohio, writes us under date 

 of August 25, 1920, as follows: 

 "On April 10, 1916, I set out one 

 of your new Rochester Peach 

 trees. Last year we picked 5 

 peaches from it, each averaging 

 the size of an average tea cup. 

 THIS YEAR WE HAVE PICKED 

 EXACTLY 403 LARGE PEACHES 

 FROM THIS ONE TREE. Many 

 people have seen this tree, and 

 can hardly believe their own eyes. 

 One of its admirers was Post- 

 master J. E. Sullivan, who wants 

 me to put him in touch with the 

 "FELLOWS WHO HAVE SUCH 

 TREES FOR SALE." 



TREES planted in Spring, 1918, bore 150 to 200 peaches past summer. 

 THE EARLIEST YELLOW FREESTONE PEACH KNOWN 



"Rochester is greatest money making peach in the world" — Statement 

 by large orchardist. 



Originated in Rochester, New York, tree is a strong, upright grower, 

 has stood sixteen degrees below zero and produced a full crop, while the Elberta 

 and Crawford, under the same conditions in the same orchard, produced 

 no blossoms and consequently no fruit. 



Mr. Yarker, Greece, N. Y., who has an orchard of 500 trees, reports 17 peaches picked in 

 August from a tree planted the previous spring. 



Mr. C. M. Thomas, 215 W. 40th St., Savannah, Ga., purchased a Rochester 

 Peach from us last February and picked the first fruit in July.
