SULLIVAN'S EARLY ELBERTA (i3) 



A new bud sport of the famous Elberta, ripening 

 a full seven to 12 days ahead of its parent. 



The variety found as a bud sport in the orchard of 

 Mr. J. P. Sullivan at Zebulon, Ga. The tree and fruit 

 characteristics were found to be identical with Elberta. 

 Sullivan's Early Elberta is being planted extensively 

 throughout Georgia and adjoining states. Our trees are 

 propogated from the original strain. 



We have fruited Sullivan's Early Elberta now for 

 three years in our test orchard and are more im- 

 pressed with it each year. It ripens ahead of the reg- 

 ular Early Elberta, and Belle of Georgia ; it averages 

 large in size, extra fine quality and shows good ship- 

 ping ability. We have long needed a good commercial 

 peach to fill this ripening time. Sullivan's Early El- 

 berta has real possibilities and we recommend it highly. 



EARLY ELBERTA d^a) 



A Great Commercial Peach Ripening Just Be- 

 fore Regular Elberta. 



Where Quality — Size — Productiveness and Bea*u- 

 ty Are Desired, Plant Our Old Original Strain of 

 Early Elberta. There Is A Difference. 



A great commercial peach in the Central and North- 

 ern peach producing areas where the markets are not 

 too distant and quality is a deciding factor. One of the 

 most beautiful of the Elberta type peaches. A very 

 large, attractively colored, yellow flushed, freestone 

 peach ripening with Belle of Georgia or from 3 to 8 

 days before the regular Elberta. The highest quality 

 peach of all the Elberta types grown commercially. 

 The trees are hardy, thrifty and bear consistently. The 

 deep lemon, yellow colored skin, blushed with bright 

 red makes it very attractive and the peach retains a 

 beautiful golden yellow color after being canned. IP

ELBERTA ds) 



The Famous Elberta Peach Continues To Be 

 America's Leading Commercial Peach 



Year After Year Tliis Great Peach Brings A 

 Smile of Satisfaction to the Growers' Countenance. 



Years of Propagation Have Produced Many In- 

 ferior Strains of This Famous Peach and Are Re- 

 sponsible For Much Unjust Criticism of Quality 

 and Type. 



Plant Bountiful Ridge Selected True Straiin 

 Elberta For Greater Profits and Consumer Sat- 

 isfaction. 



Without question the greatest commercial peach ever 

 introduced. It has proven its ability to adapt itself to 

 varied climatic and soil conditions throughout the U. S. 

 and Canada, whether the climate is hot ©r cold, 

 whether the soil is light sand or heavy clay, Elberta can 

 be depended on to give you fine results. There is no 

 prettier peach when grown under ideal conditions. 



The tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty and 

 very productive under most conditions. The fruit is 

 large to very large, a freestone, skin of deep golden 

 yellow and highly colored. The skin is tough and the 

 flesh, while tender and juicy, is of such texture that 

 the ELBERTA IS FAMOUS FOR ITS ABILITY TO 

 CARRY TO DISTANT MARKETS. The quality is 

 classed as good, and the slight bitter flavor is preferred 

 by many. It is estimated that 50% of all peaches 

 planted are Elberta. As improved types and varieties 

 are introduced this ratio is lower but after all is said 

 ELBERTA STILL REMAINS THE WORLD'S LEAD- 

 ING COMMERCIAL PEACH. We are propogating our 

 Elberta tree from selected orchards of great bearing 

 records and to the old original type Elberta. 



A description will hardly do 

 justice to this fine variety. 

 In size it is one-third to one-half larger than the El- 

 berta and is more highly colored. The skin is deep 

 crimson, smooth, tight, and almost without fuzz. Flesh 

 is golden yellow, firm, and has a most delicious flavor. 

 The pit separates easily from the flesh. It is excep- 

 tionally valuable as a commercial peach, owing to its 

 unusual keeping qualities. Will ship nearly as well as 

 an apple. Fruit ripens a few days before and with 

 the Elberta, but it will hang on the tree longer. Your 

 planting is incomplete without it. Note — The J. H. 

 Hale does not have an entirely perfect bloom, and to get 

 the best results it should be planted with some other 

 variety. 



J. H. HALE (13a) 



AFTERGLOW (N.J. 8^) <i3b) 



Usually rip- 

 ens 3 to 5 



days after Elberta therefore often meets good, strong 

 markets. Fruits are large round, oval in shape and al- 

 most completely overspread with red. The flesh is 

 yellow stained with red about the pit and is free. The 

 trees are vigorous and rapid growers, the fruit buds 

 appear more hardy than J. H. Hale where observed. 

 Recommended for trial in most districts.
