[PEACH Trees! 



Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productiveness 



/ 



JEFFERSON (I3) Jefferson is a round, yellow flesh- 

 ed, freestone, ripening about 2 days after Elberta. The 

 fruits are quite comparable to J. H. Hale but the color is 

 much brighter. The trees are more vigorous than Hale, 

 produce a heavy set of buds which are quite tolerant to 

 spring frosts; much more so than Sunhigh and Elberta. 



AFTERGLOW (N.J. 84) (13a) Ripens 3 to 5 days 

 after Elberta. Fruits are large, round oval in shape and 

 almost completely overspread with red. The flesh is yellow 

 stained with red about the pit and is free. The trees are 

 vigorotis and rapid growers, the fruit buds appear more 

 hardy than J. H. Hale. 



SHIPPERS LATE RED (I3b) 



(Hale Type) 

 A Large, Productive, Handsome Peach 



A very large, very highly colored, yellow fleshed free- 

 stone 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 it brings top prices 

 on the markets. 



We are growing the true type as determined by coin- 

 parison with fruit in U. S. D. A. test orchards, which is 

 known as the Hale type. 



SHIPPERS LATE RED 



Bountiful Ridge Hale Type has proven to be the finest 

 of all Shippers Late Red Strains. A trial will prove it.

GAGE ELBERTA (I3cj 



A Disease Resistant Bud Sport of the 



Famous Elberta Peach. 



Recommended for resistance to bacterial spot. The tree 

 grows as thrifty as Elberta. Gage Elberta blooms two to 

 four days after Elberta and has a very strong blossom 

 setting fruit under unfavorable conditions. The fruit is so 

 like Elberta that only an expert can distinguish the dif- 

 ference. Ripens two to three days later than Elberta.

^^ THE BRACKETT PEACH (I3d) 



One of the Best Varieties to Follow Elberta 



This variety has proven one of the most profitable 

 peaches in the Central area. Its season is about five days 

 after Elberta, with a beautiful orajige-yellow skin tinged 

 with carmine. Flesh is a deep yellow and much lighter 

 flavored than Elberta. This peach sizes up well under 

 heavy crops and is equal to Elberta as a shipper. A perfect 

 freestone and a real peach. 



GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA (I4) 



Beautiful color, large size, excellent quality, fine ship- 

 ping and keeping ability combine in GEMMERS LATE 

 ELBERTA. 



It is a typical Elberta in fruit and tree characteristics. 

 It ripens 8 to 12 days after Elberta, just following Ship- 

 pers Late Red and before Lizzie. Fruits are very uniform, 

 large, well covered with a brilliant red, tough skin. Flesh 

 ver>' firm, being slightly tinged with red about the pit 

 but red does not extend into the golden yellow flesh. 



RIO-OSO-GEM (I4a) 



Widely Grown — A Beautiful Peach 



A Hale type peach following Elberta 7 to 10 days. 

 Fruit large in size with brilliant red color and light pub- 

 escence. The flesh is firm and fine textured with excellent 

 flavor. Because of its firmness of flesh it is fine for freez- 

 ing, canning and other uses. Rio-Oso-Gem is an out- 

 standing commercial variety. 



/ SO GOOD (1 4b) 



A new, yellow freestone from Mar>'land ripening about 

 with Rio-Oso-Gem. Fruits are large, highly colored, and 

 most nearly resemble Redskin. It crops annually with good 

 yields. Trees are vigorous and healthy, more upright than 

 Red.skin. So Good should have a place in your plantings.

. LIZZIE (IS) 



Firmness — Fine Color — Quality 



It has been successfully grovvm in N. J., Conn., and in 

 several Southern states. It is a distinct Elberta type peach, 

 large, freestone having a fine yellow flesh and the peach 

 ripens very slowly after being taken off the tree. It ripens 

 from 12 to 16 days after Elberta, colors well with a hand- 

 some red over a deep yellow undertone. The tree is 

 thrifty, hardy, heavy bearer of regular crops. Some grow- 

 ers consider it the best of our present list of real late 

 peaches.

/ AUTUMN (N.J. 145) (iM 



Considered One of the Best Very Late Varieties 



The latest, large, yellow freestone ripening fully four- 

 teen days after Elberta. The tree is very vigorous and 

 should be planted on well-drained good p«ach sod. For the 

 grower who wishes good size, high quality fruit for road 

 side stand or nearby markets. Autumn fills the bill. 



Gentlemen: 



Through the years 1 have had such good service and good 

 stock from your nursery, that I shall continue to highly recom- 

 mend you. (My advice is asked at times, due to my having taught 

 the fruit growing classes at the State University Agriculture & 

 Tech. Institute at Farmingdale for about ten years). 

 Yours very truly.
