PROPER VARIETY AND TREE SELECTION WILL LEAD TO QUICKER 



RESULTS AND GREATER PROFITS 



1950-1951 PEACH TREE SUPPLY VERY SHORT 



Late planting, poor seed germination and other con- 

 ditions are responsible for the poorest stand of seed- 

 lings in many years. Some nurseries had such poor 

 stands that the fields were plowed up. 



Reports from Southern areas indicate the shortest 

 peach tree crop in years. 



Middle western growers report about the same con- 

 ditions as do the Northern nurseries. 



Our Eastern Seaboard nurseries fared somewhat bet- 

 ter but are extremely short on many varieties. 



Bountiful Ridge Nurseries has probably the largest 

 individual holdings on peach trees in the eastern 

 United States. Our supply includes both regular and 

 nematode resistant rootstocks. 



We feel the large commercial growers should plan 

 carefully and buy early and avoid certain disappoint- 

 ment, as the overall picture in nursery trees indicates 

 a decrease of 50 to 60 per cent over last year, which 

 was down 30 percent over the previous year. 



Many of the newer varieties are already sold and 

 will be unavailable from most sources this fall. Don't 

 wait — Buy EaWy — Buy Bountiful Ridge Grown Trees.

 is covered with a bright attractive red blush. Flesh is

The outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its unusual 

 firmness and slow rate of softening for an early peach, plus 

 an attractive appearance. The fruit acquires color long be-

 peach.

GOLDRAY (2b) 



INTRODUCING THIS YEAR A NEW BUD SPORT OF 



THE FAMOUS GOLDEN JUBILEE PEACH, RIPENING 



TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN THE REGULAR 



GOLDEN JUIBLEE. 



First observed by us during fruiting season of 1939 in a 

 large planting of Golden Jubilee on the fruit farms of J. Roy 

 Cunningham, Lancaster, South Carolina, the original plant- 

 ing being made from Bountiful Ridge grown trees. 



THE SIZE, BEAUTY, QUALITY AND GENERAL CHAR- 

 ACTERISTICS WERE SO OUTSTANDING, RIPENING SO 

 MUCH EARLIER THAN THE BALANCE OF THE GOLD- 

 EN .JUBILEE TREE, WE FELT IT HELD REAL POS- 

 SIBILITIES. We began testing the variety in our own test 

 orchards and many State experimental plots to determine 

 if the characteristics would carry thru to succeeding gener- 

 ations, and we are glad that it has proven even better than 

 anticipated and we now pass it on to the parous of Bounti- 

 ful Ridge Nurseries Avith a sense of pride. 



GOLDRAY fruits large or larger than regular Jubilee. The 

 quality is equal to Golden Jubilee. Goldray has a beautiful 

 bright red blush on a real golden background. Goldray will 

 cling to pit when not fully ripe and like regular Jubilee 

 has a tender skin and flesh being more adapted for home 

 use, roadstand markets and nearby commercial markets. 

 GOLDRAY TREES are very vigorous, making a heavy set 

 of buds which in our tests have proven as hardy or more 

 hardy than regular Jubilee resulting in very regular crops. 

 Our test trees in various sections as far north as the 

 Canadian peach area indicate its wide adaptability. Imag.- 

 ine your pleasure in picking those handsome .Jubilee type 

 peaclies two weeks before your regular Golden Jubilee nor- 

 mally ripen. PLANT GOLDRAY AND STEP UP YOUR 

 GOLDEN JUBILEE SEASON. IT SHOULD PROVE A 

 REAL MONEY MAKER FOR YOU. AND YOU, AND YOU, 

 WHERE EARLINESS, A YELLOW PEACH, SIZE, LOOKS 

 AND QUALITY COUNT.
