VARIETIES LISTED IN ORDER OF RIPENING 



SHIPPERS LATE RED (Big Red) u« 



A large, very highly colored attractive red, yellow 

 fleshed freestone and good quality peach, of distinct 

 Hale type. Ripens just after Elberta and J. H. Hale. 

 A good shipping peach, extremely productive, very 

 hardy and its beauty and size enables it to bring top 

 prices on the markets. This splendid variety should be 

 planted more extensively as we know of no" variety we 

 can recommend more highly for a peach to follow the 

 Elberta. We have the true type Shippers and you 

 should plant some of them this year. 



GAGE ELBERTA u*o 



A DISEASE RE- 

 SISTANT BUD 

 SPORT OF THE FAMOUS ELBERTA PEACH. (Ex- 

 cerpts from detailed description given March issue 1920 

 Journal of Heredity, written by H. W. Anderson and 

 M. J. Dorsey, University of Illinois). 



This splendid peach originated in the orchards of 

 Mr. John A. Gage near Texico, 111. It has been tested 

 now for a number of years. Possibly its greatest re- 

 commendation is the fact that up to the present time 

 it has proven almost entirely immune to bacterium 

 pruni. The tree is very spreading in growth habits. 

 It is equally as thrifty a grower as the Elberta and 

 looks very much like the typical Elberta tree except 

 that the leaves are apparently thicker and darker in 

 color. Gage Elberta blooms from two to four days 

 after Elberta and apparently has a very strong blossom 

 setting a crop of fruit under unfavorable conditions. 

 The fruit is so near the Elberta that only an expert 

 can distinguish the difference. It ripens two to three 

 days! later than Elberta. 



This variety is proving well adapted to the Southern 

 conditions in the trial plantings at Columbia and Clem- 

 son. South Carolina, and is to be preferred over the 

 Elberta in many respects. We have a nice supply of 

 these in yearling trees this year. 



Very favorable reports are coming to us from Ohio, 

 Indiana, and Illinois on the Gage Elberta and some 

 large orchardists are planting it in preference to the 

 Elberta in largo quantities. 



THE BRACKETT PEACH «») 



This is a comparatively new variety in some sections, 

 but has been tried and proven one of the most profit- 

 able 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. 



MEDIUM LATE VARIETIES 



HOPE FARM as) 



WILMA «3") 



ROBERTA u«»> 



IRON MOUNTAIN <"> 



LIZZIE <"«> 



Introduced by us in 1925 

 originating on Hope Farm. 

 Bergen County, New Jersey. A large, white-fleshed 

 freestone peach of superior quality. Follows Elberta 

 about live days in ripening. Partially self -fertile. Ex- 

 tremely hardy in bud. Proving a favorite in Northern 

 Districts. 



A very large, late, yellow freestone 

 peach. Somewhat round in shape, 

 nicely colored and good quality. It ripens from ten 

 days to two weeks after Elberta and is the true type 

 of Wilma peach. Tree hardy, thrifty and productive. 



CRAWFORD'S LATE <Free) ««> 



Large roundish-oval, yellow with broad red cheeks: 

 flesh yellow with red at pit ; melting vinous and very 

 good. 



A variety that is becoming 

 justly popular. Very similar 

 to Elberta in all respects except its season, which is a 

 week to ten days later. Our original buds of this va- 

 riety came from the orchards of Mr. Roberts, Moores- 

 town. N. J. An excellent variety to follow Elberta 

 season. 



Free, white, med- 

 ium to large size, 

 egg-shaped: color pure white, with slight blush; good 

 quality; good keeper: very regular bearer. 



The origin of this peach is some- 

 what in doubt but it is being grown 

 quite extensively by a few large commercial orchard- 

 ists of New Jersey and Conn. It is a distinct Elberta 

 type peach, very large, freestone, fine yellow flesh of 

 excellent quality, ripening from 12 to 16 days after El- 

 berta. Tree is thrifty, hardy, heavy bearer of regular 

 crops. Some growers consider it the best of our pres- 

 ent list of late peaches. 



A large late yellow freestone 

 peach of distinct Elberta type 

 with good color and quality. Very similar to Roberta 

 only ripens a week later. Can be recommended as a 

 late* Elberta type peach. 



HEATH CLING (Cling) <«»> J"££ffla 



with delicate red blush; flesh white, slightly red at the 

 pit; tender, juicy and sweet; a valuable sort for can- 

 ning and one that commands fancy prices in all mar- 

 kets. 



VERY LATE VARIETIES 



SALWAY(Free) <« ;g£ S8S a, & d 3 



cheeks: flesh yellow, firm and juicy and sugary; trees 

 are strong growers and bear plentiful crops. A late 

 market sort. 



KRUMMEL'S OCTOBER <« *£%2& 



the most prolific and best late yellow freestone, which 

 ripens after Salwav, or six weeks after Elberta. Med- 

 ium large, almost round, deep yellow with a dark car- 

 mine blush : very firm, fine texture. 



SALBERTA <«) 



The New Sure Crop Nectarine 



It has been difficult to find a dependable NECTARINE. We have been so favorably impressed with the 

 SURE CROP that Ave feel we can recommend it to our patrons. It was imported to this country from New 

 Zealand and is one of the finest if not the finest of recent nectarines tried in this country. The tree is vigorous 

 and productive. The fruit is large, roundish, white, and overlaid with very attractive red. The flesh is firm, 

 tender, free from stone, and very pleasing flavor. Late mid-season.
