HALEHAVEN <») 



North — South — East — and West Join in Ac- 

 claiming This Great Peach. Hailed by Many and 

 Conceded to Be "One of The Best Peaches of Its 

 Season." Generally Recognized As One of Our 

 Finest Peaches for "Quick Freezing." 



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 -more universally satisfactory than the Hale- 

 haven. It has proved an unchallenged leader of peaches 

 to follow the Golden Jubilee, Colora, Vedette. The tree 

 is a strong thrifty grower, resistant to common peach 

 diseases, 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 red color 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 

 STRAIN OF HALEHAVEN TREES WHEN YOU 

 PLANT. BUT BOUNTIFUL RIDGE GROWN HALE- 

 HAVEN TREES. 



GOLDEN EAST (N.J. 87) <»> tA^^LnSt 



highly colored, yellow fleshed peach ripening with Hiley 

 or about 15 days before Elberta. Usually a freestone. 

 A promising variety for sites south of central New 

 Jersey where favorable elevations, soil and climate pre- 

 vail. The tree is upright, spreading and vigorous. The 

 dormant buds are medium in hardiness. Worthy of 

 trial in all sections. 



VETERAN (9a) 



A cross between Vaughn and 

 Early Elberta; of Canadian 

 origin. The fruit is large, round, yellow fleshed, free- 

 stone and superior to Elberta in quality. Ripens sev- 

 eral days after Vedette.

ERLY-RED-FRE 



Brings Added Praise From Kentucky

 Dear Sirs : 



A few years ago, I bought several Erly-Red-Fre 

 from you and this year they have borne their 

 first crop. I am so pleased with this variety, 

 that I would like to add my testimony to it's 

 merit. 



These trees are planted in the same orchard 

 with another early variety. Red Bird, but there 

 is no comparison between the two. Our spring 

 has been unusually rainy and while we sprayed 

 heavily, the Red Bird was badly infected with 

 brown rot while the Erly-Red-Fre showed none 

 at all under the same conditions. There is no 

 comparison between the quality of these two 

 peaches, the Erly-Red-Fre being superior in every 

 way. We thought possibly you might be in- 

 terested to know how this variety does in our 

 southern climate. 



Yours trulv,
