WE HAVE PEACH VARIETIES SUITED FOR EVERV GROWING AREA 



ORIOLE («> 



CUMBERLAND <«*> 



Introduced by New Jersey experi- 

 ment station in 1925 an early yel- 

 low Freestone peach ripens a few days ahead of Cum- 

 berland. Fruit medium size, yellow in color, blushed 

 with red. and notable for fine quality. Tree is vigorous 

 and productive. The fruit buds are very resistant to 

 cold and will grow where others fail in northern sec- 

 tion. A fine peach for local markets. 



A N. J. Station product. 



A seedling crossed with 

 Greensboro. The tree is a vigorous grower and hardy 

 as Carman. The fruit larger than Georgia Belle, at- 

 tractively colored with red, oval in shape. The flesh 

 is white, almost free, firmer and better than Carman or 

 Alton. Ripens just before Carman. Cumberland con- 

 tinues to gain in popularity in all peach sections on 

 account of its fine appearance and ability to crop. 

 Recommended to replace Carman. 



GOLDEN JUBILEE (6b) See page 13 



CARMAN <*» 



good market 

 Semi-cling. 



Large, creamy white with deep 

 blush : skin tough, making it a 

 flesh tender, juicy, fine flavor. 



RADIANCE W) 



ROCHESTER <*> 



A N. J. Station product. A seed- 

 ling of Belle crossed with 

 Greensboro. A large, oval, white-fleshed freestone simi- 

 lar in form to Belle of Georgia; good quality and color. 

 Ripens with Carman. It is proving a very good variety. 



FAIRS BEAUTY <'*» & «£?, STS" S2KK 



three to five days. Tree vigorous, spreading, very 

 hardy in bud. often producing a crop when other va- 

 rieties are winter killed. Fruit is medium to large in 

 size, skin a deep golden yellow blushed with bright 

 red, the flesh is firm, tender, melting and juicy. Fruit 

 hangs exceptionally well to tree and when full ripe is 

 a perfect P^reestone, clinging slightly when the peach 

 is hard ripe, an excellent market and canning peach 

 which is adapted to both commercial and home use. It 

 is recognized in the South as a superior early yellow 

 canning peach. We strongly recommend this peach 

 for trial as a commercial variety. The Fairs Beauty 

 originated near Tyler, Texas and in trial plantings 

 shows its adaptability to central and eastern growing 

 conditions. 



NOTE: We are entirely sold out of trees of the Fairs 

 Beauty for shipment during spring: of 1939. We will 

 have a fine lot available for delivery during: the Fall 

 planting: season of 1939. 



Large yellow and red peach. 



Flesh yellow, of fine quality 

 and exquisite flavor. Stone very small and will ship 

 well as Elberta. The tree comes into bearing when 

 very young, is a strong, upright grower, and is hardy 

 as an oak. 



MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES 



COLORA PEACH (9) 



NATURES GIFT IN A FROST RESISTANT, YEL- 

 LOW FREESTONE, COMMERCIAL PEACH 

 OF SUPERB QUALITY. 



Our own introduction of a hardy peach, introduced 

 Spring of 1936. A new frost resistant, yellow freestone 

 peach. This peach originated in Cecil County, Mary- 

 land, as a sprout coming from the root of a Bracket! 

 tree planted about 1920. It has been producing con- 

 stantly since about 1925 and came through many years 

 with a full crop when the buds of Brackett on the same 

 tree were entirely frozen out. Second generation trees 

 as well as the original branch have withstood tempera- 

 tures during the past winters of about 17 degrees be- 

 low zero, when most other varieties such as Elberta, 

 Hiley Belle, Belle of Georgia, Early Elberta and J. H. 

 Hale were wiped out by these low temperatures. The 

 peach is an attractive yellow, freestone, well-colored 

 and of excellent quality, ripening about 15 to 20 days 

 before Elberta. In size, it is about the same as Elberta, 

 being typical Elberta in shape. We believe the plant- 

 ers will find this a valuable variety for planting in 

 cold areas. 



VEDETTE (9a) 



OUR CHOICE OF THE CANADIAN VARIETIES 



FROM THE STANDPOINT OF QUALITY, 



COLOR AND ADAPTABILITY. 



A product of the Vineland Experimental Station, in 

 Canada, proving unusually well adapted in the various 

 peach growing sections of the United States. A seed- 

 ling of Elberta, resembling that variety in color and 

 type of flesh, but is more globular in shape, more high- 

 ly colored, and of much finer quality. The fruit is of 



large size, yellow fleshed, freestone. The tree is vig- 

 orous, very hardy, comes into bearing early and is 

 very productive. The Vedette is proving very satis- 

 factory in trial plantings near Columbia and Clemson, 

 South Carolina, as well as other peach growing sections 

 of the Central and Eastern States. The fruit is firm 

 and a good shipper, ripening about one week after 

 Golden Jubilee. A fine peach that promises to be a 

 real money-maker for the Southern Planter as well as 

 other sections, replacing the old Hiley with a larger, 

 better quality, yellow, freestone, productive peach. 



A new strain of 

 this famous 

 peach originating in Georgia. Has all the character- 

 istics of its famous parent, but is a full week earlier 

 in ripening. 



NEW EARLY HILEY <»> 



HALE HA VEX (10) 



THE HALE HAVEN COMES THRU - NORTH, 



EAST, SOUTH, WEST - IN 1938 



We know of no peach of recent introduction that is 

 proving so universally satisfactory as the Hale Haven. 

 It is now an unchallenged leader of peaches to follow 

 Jubilee, Vedette and Golden East being its nearest 

 rivals. A product of the South Haven experimental 

 station in Michigan. A definite improvement over the 

 low Winter temperatures. Freestone, tough skin, high- 

 ly colored, adapted to large commercial plantings. Tree 

 vigorous, fruit large globular shape as Hale. Resem- 

 bles this variety. Two weeks earlier than Hale and 

 Elberta. Extremely high quality, good shipper. 



One of our peach seedling blocks budded during Aug. 

 1938. These rows are more than % mile long and are 

 typical of the large fields of trees to be found at Boun- 

 tiful Ridge. This photo taken 1st week in July. Hardy, 

 disease free seedling are the foundation for a successful 

 orchard. We have for years carefully selected our 

 sources of seed and will use nothing but the best seed- 

 ling seed available. These seed are gathered from 

 wild seedling trees growing on the mountains in cer- 

 tain sections of the south and these trees must be rug- 

 ged and disease resistant to withstand the elements. 

 It is a case of "The survival of the fittest' among these 

 wild trees. Years of experience have taught us the 

 value of this type of seed. Our patrons are the bene- 

 factors and this is one of the reasons for the universal 

 satisfaction Bountiful Ridge Peach trees give the plant- 

 ers. 



SOUTH HAVEN (*•■> 



Introduced by the 

 South Haven Experi- 

 mental Station and proving hardy and an excellent 

 peach. The tree is very thrifty and productive. The 

 peach is of Elberta type, ripening from 12 to lfi days 

 before Elberta. While not as good a shipper as Elberta 

 we believe it will carry satisfactorily to markets within 

 a radius of 700 miles. It is a freestone, yellow fleshed 

 peach which colors up well and ripens its crop over a 

 period of about ten days which makes it especially 

 desirable for local and roadstand markets. This is an 

 excellent variety to follow the Golden Jubilee and to 

 precede the Early Elberta. 



HILEY BELL (Hiley) <"> ^tTfea f™- 



stone peach with beautiful red blush and tough skin. 

 The flesh is juicy and tender. B^or many years the 

 South's greatest early commercial peach. 



SLAPPY (Improved) <"•> £? in | r t JSS& 



strain of Slappv that we consider superior to the orig- 

 inal Slappv variety. The peach seems to average larg- 

 er, much higher colored, and the tree seems very vigor- 

 ous, otherwise it is a typical Slappy in every way. The 

 Slappv is a yellow freestone peach of very good quality, 

 ripening about the same time as Hiley Belle. It is 

 especially suitable for nearby markets where quality 

 and appearance count.
