MIDSEASON VARIETIES 



BELLE OP GEORGIA. Fruit large size; color red 

 and white; flesh white, firm and highly flavored. 

 This variety has become one of the standard va- 

 rieties in the big commercial orchards, both North 

 and South. Stands shipping well and brings top 

 prices. Tree a rapid grower; very productive. 

 Perfect freestone. 



EARLY ELBERTA. This is one of the finest of 

 all the Elberta family, being larger than Elberta, 

 finer flavored, as handsome in color, perfect free- 

 stone. Whoever plants this variety will be more 

 than satisfied as it is a money maker and a great 

 peach for all purposes. Ripens from one week to 

 ten days earlier than the regular Elberta. 



ELBERTA. The leader of all peaches and the 

 greatest commercial variety on the market; 50 per 

 cent of peaches planted are Elbertas. In all prob- 

 ability no peach will succeed over so wide a range 

 of territory as this kind. It will thrive where any 

 peach can be grown. High colored yellow free- 

 stone. 



J. H. HALE. A description will hardly do justice 

 to this fine variety. In size it is one-third to one- 

 half larger than the Elberta and is more highly 

 colored. The skin is deep crimson, smooth, tight, 

 and without fuzz. Fish is golden yellow, firm, and 

 has a most delicious flavor. The pit separates 

 easily from the flesh. It is exceptionally valuable 

 as a commercial peach owing to its unusual keep- 

 ing qualities. Will ship nearly as well as an apple. 

 Fruit ripens about five days before the Elberta, 

 but it will hang on the tree longer. Your collec- 



OVER 4,000 TREES GIVE SATISFACTION

Princess Anne, Md. 

 Gentlemen: 



I want to report on the trees bought of you 

 and planted last Fall and this Spring. 



They were the finest lot of trees I have 

 ever planted — both peach and apple. Every 

 apple tree grew. Lost something like thirty 

 peach trees or less than one per hundred. 

 These trees are not only living but have made 

 excellent growth. This is quite remarkable 

 in view of the fact that we are experiencing 

 the most severe drought known to the weather 

 bureau in fifty years of its existence. 

 Very truly yours, 



L. O. MOWERY. 



tion is incomplete without it. Note. — The J. II. 

 Hale does not have an entirely perfect bloom, and 

 to get best results it should be planted with some 

 other variety. 



SHIPPERS' LATE RED. A comparative new peach 

 extremely hardy. Large, very highly colored to at- 

 tractive red. Yellow fleshed, freestone and good 

 quality. Ripening just after Elberta and Hale. 

 Ca n be recommended to follow Elberta season. 



THE BRACKETT PEACH. This is a comparatively 

 new variety in some sections, but has been tried 

 and proven one of the most profitable peaches in 

 the South. Its season is about five days after 

 Elberta, with a beautiful orange-yellow skin tinged 

 with carmine. Flesh is a deep yellow and much 

 higher flavored than Elberta. This peach sizes up 

 well under heavy crops and is equal to Elberta 

 as a shipper. A perfect freestone. These qualities 

 combined are fast bringing it to the front as one 

 of our best commercial peaches, and can be con- 

 sidered a three-point winner, in color, in size and 

 in quality. Midseason. 



MEDIUM LATE VARIETIES 



ROBERTA. A new variety that is becoming justly 

 popular. Very similar to Elberta in all respects 

 except its season, which is a week to ten days 

 later. The Roberta is an excellent variety to plant 

 to lengthen the Elberta season. 



HEATH CLING (Cling). Very large creamy-white 

 with delicate red blush; flesh white, slightly red at 

 the pit; tender, juicy and sweet; a valuable sort 

 for canning and one that commands fancy prices 

 in all markets. 



CRAWFORD'S LATE (Free). 



Large, roundish-oval, yellow 

 with broad red cheeks; flesh yel- 

 low with red at pit; melting 

 vinous and very good. 



VERY LATE VARIETIES 



IRON MOUNTAIN. Free, white. 

 Size enormous, egg-shaped; color 

 pure white, with slight blush; 

 good quality; good keeper; very 

 regular bearer. 



SALWAY (Free). Large, round- 

 ish, deep yellow with rich red 

 cheeks; flesh yellow, Arm and 

 juicy and sugary; trees are 

 strong growers and bear plen- 

 tiful crops. A late market sort. 



XRUMMEL'S OCTOBER. A mag- 

 nificent peach; the most prolific 

 and best late Yellow Freestone, 

 which ripens about two weeks 

 after Salway, or four weeks 

 after Elberta. Large, almost 

 round, deep yellow with a dark 

 carmine blush; very firm, fine 

 texture. 



LEVY'S LATE. A large yellow 

 peach, good for either market 

 purposes or home use. One of 

 the best real late yellow free- 

 stone peaches. Ripens late in 

 October.
