Producing orchards from Texas to Canada and from Maryland to the State of Washington prove the 

 Universal Adapatability of the Erly-Red-Fre. 



In all our experience as Nurserjmen and Horticultuiasts, never have we seen a new peach with such 

 wide adaptability and prove so universally satisfactory to grower and consiuner, excepting possibly the fam- 

 ous Elberta. 



The Erly-Ked-Pre originated as a cliance seedling in the 

 orchard of Wm. Perry near Chase City. Va. We iirst saw 

 the peach In 1935 and the second generation trees bore fruit 

 of the same type just two years later. The fruits are highly 

 colored being an attractive red on a creamy white back- 

 ground. The sliin is tough and medium thick. The flesh is 

 such that it does not show bruises through the skin for sev- 

 eral days and is white all the way through to the pit. It has 

 one of the smallest pits of any cultivated peach. Fruit size 

 is large for such an early peach, some specimens weighing 

 i2 ounces. The entire crop can be packed at 214" and up if 

 desired under normal conditions. The tree is very vigorous, 

 resistant to bacterial spot, and bears very young. 



The Erly-Red-Fre ripens uniformly, does not show bruises 

 readily and will keep and ship better than Elberta. It is 

 definitely the first ripening freestone peach now in conimer- 

 <ial cultivation. 



There is a place in every grower's program for the Erly- 

 Red-Fre. Whether you are a large commercial grower or a 

 smaller one depending on local or nearby markets, Erly-Red- 

 Fre is a proven money maker. This great peach can with- 

 stand extremely low temperature both in the bud and blos- 

 som and still come through with a fine profitable crop. It 

 has also come back from delayed dormancy trouble and 

 hurricane damage to produce outstanding crops. Its in- 

 herent resistance to disease make it one of the easiest trees 

 to manage. 



Many growers are now realizing another important fact 

 that makes Erly-Red-Fre the great peach that it is. 9r> 

 DAYS AFTER BLOOM ERLY-RED-FRE CAN BE PICK- 

 ED AND SOLD. Not only does this valuable peach bring 

 premium prices BUT THE FRUITS ARE HARVESTED 

 BEFORE PRODUCTION COSTS HAVE USED UP MOST 

 OF THE PROFIT. Modernize your plantings and include 

 lliis great iirefit maker in plans for this year.

 variety that will grow and produce more universally than the Erly-Red-Fre. You have never seen a tree that will re- 

 cover and produce as abundantly after reverses as the Erly-Red-Fre. Yes. it will produce more pounds or bushels per 

 acre of marketable peaches and bring prices among the best, making income per acre among the highest in cash returns
