ERLY-RED-FRE PROVES HARDY 
WINTER 1942-43 
Reports from nearly all peach producing 
areas attest the hardiness of Erly-Red-Fre, 
which produced a part or full crop when 
other early varieties failed. -From these re- 
ports we are led to believe that Erly-Red-Fre 
is cold resistant in bud and wood to a great- 
er degree than many other early varieties. 
In Bountiful Ridge Test Orchard Erly- 
Red-Fre produced a partial crop, whereas 
such varieties as Red Bird, Fisher, Redhaven 
Greensboro, Cumberland, Triogem, Golden 
Jubilee and others had few or no peaches. 
AMERICA. 
ERLY-RED-FRE should entirely replace Early Rose, 
Mt. Rose, Uneeda, Red Bird and Greensboro in your or- 
chard planting program. 
The ERLY-RED-FRE ripens uniformly, does not show 
bruises readily and will keep and ship better than EL- 
BERTA. It is definitely the first ripening freestone 
peach now in cultivation to our knowledge, following 
closely the Mayflower and preceding the Golden Jubilee 
by several weeks. : : 
Fruits of Erly-Red-Fre shipped 2000 miles or 
more by Express arrived in Perfect Condition. 
We have never in all our experience as Nursery- 
men and Horticulturists seen a new peach with 
such wide adaptability and prove so universally 
satisfactory to grower and consumer excepting pos- 
sibly the famous Elberta. 
The ERLY-RED-FRE originated as a chance seedling 
in the orchard of Wm. Perry near Chase City, Va. Our 
attention was first called to this splendid peach in 1935. 
The second generation trees bore in 1937 at 2 years of 
age, the fruits on these being identical with those on 
the Parent tree. The fruit is very highly colored with 
an attractive bright red on creamy white background. 
The skin is tough and medium thick. The flesh of the 
peach is of such texture that it does not show bruises 
through the skin for several days after being bruised 
and is a clear white through to the pit. We believe 
this peach has one of the smallest pits of any cultivated 
peach we know of in existance. The fruit averages large 
for an early peach, some specimens weighing 12 ounces 
and the entire crop under 
normal conditions and care 
can be packed out 244” and 
up if desired. The tree is very 
vigorous, resistant to Bacter- 
iosis, bears while very young.
