HALEHAVEN 
We Endorse and Recommend This Great Peach 
To Growers in All Sections Where Size, Color, 
Quality and Shipping Ability Are Paramount Con- 
siderations. 
We know of no Peach of recent introduction that is 
proving so universally satisfactory as the Halehaven. 
It has proved an unchallenged leader of peaches to fol- 
low the Golden Jubilee, Colora, Vedette. The tree is 
a streng thrifty grower, resistant to common peach dis- 
eases, the fruit is large, oval shaped like a well grown 
J. H. Hale, it has a good tough skin, the flesh of the 
peach being of such texture that it will not bruise easi- 
ly and best of all it has a beautiful, handsome red 
eolor that at once attracts the buyer and a flavor that is 
as good as the very best. The Halehaven is a product 
of South Haven Experimental Station, in Michigan. 
Note the success of this variety in test plantings in the 
South. The South can now grow a large yellow peach 
in place of the Old Hiley that will bring much higher 
prices on the markets. Wherever you are located you 
cannot go wrong by planting liberally of the Hale- 
haven. BE SURE YOU ARE GETTING THE TRUE

HAVEN TREES. 
. Introduced by the 
SOUTH HAVEN (10a) 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 16 days 
before Elberta. While not as good a shipper as Elberta 
we believe it will carry satisfactory 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 de- 
sirable for local and road stand markets.

Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productiveness 
: A medium sized 
HILEY BELLE (Hiley) Cy hike desea eee 
stone peach with beautiful red blush and tough skin. 
The flesh is juicy and tender. For many years the 
South’s greatest early commercial peach. 
VALIANT (11a) 
One of the so-called V varieties introduced by the 
Vineland Experimental Station, Vineland, Ontario, Can- 
ada. The Valiant is a seedling of Elberta and as it 
comes into fruiting over a wide area it is proving its 
right to a place in our peach planting program. It is 
possibly the largest of the V varieties, globular in 
Shape and very attractively colored with bright red 
over a rich yellow. It has exceptional quality and holds 
up well in shipping to not too distant markets. It 
ripens just after the Vedette and about with the Hale- 
haven, being very similar in shape to the Halehaven, 
the distinguishing factor being the shape of the apex 
end. The tree and fruit is more subject to fungus dis- 
eases than the Vedette and we do not recommend the 
Valiant for far soutthern planting where hot, humid 
atmosphere conditions exist. It is a close rival of the 
Halehaven in the central and northern districts and 
is preferred by some growers. It seems to be very har- 
dy and productive. We can surely recommend the Val- 
iant as one of the better peaches to precede the Elberta 
season. 
GOLDEN EAST (NJ. 87) (11b) 4 rare, ovat 
highly colored, yellow fleshed peach ripening with 
Hiley or about 15 days before Elberta. Usually a free- 
stone. A promising variety for sites south of central 
New Jersey where favorable elevations, soil and climate 
prevail. The tree is upright, spreading and vigorous. 
The dormant buds are medium in hardiness. Worthy 
of trial in all sections. 
ECLIPSE (11e) A self-pollenated seedling of 
Belle. A dark red, yellow-flesh- 
ed freestone peach of firm texture and good flavor, rip- 
ening with Hiley. Size equal to Hiley, tree more vig- 
orous. Fruit oval, flesh fine grained; excellent shipper: 
hangs to the tree well. Recommended as a variety to 
replace Hiley. 
Large, round, quite regu- 
CHAMPION (1d) lar; yellowish-white, mot- 
tled with red on sunny side; flesh white with red at the 
pit. One of the best in quality and a general favorite 
‘of great hardiness. A freestone. | 
A cross between Vaughn and 
Early Elberta; of Canadian 
VETERAN (le) 
origin. The fruit is large, round yellow fleshed, free- 
stone and superior to Elberta in quality. Ripens a few 
days after Valiant.
