SULLIVAN'S EARLY ELBERTA dO) 



A GREAT SUCCESS WHEREVER PLANTED 



Eeads The Early Elberta Season In 



All Sections. 



It is proving to be Avell adapted to ttie entire Central 

 peacli groAving area as well as Southern peach states. 



The variety found as a bud sport in the orchard of Mr. 

 J. P. Sullivan at Zebulon, Ga. The tree and fruit charac- 

 teristics were found to be identical Avith Elberta. Sullivan's 

 Early Elberta is being planted extensively throughout Georgia 

 and adjoining sates. Our trees are propagated from the 

 original strain. 



We have fruited Sullivan's Early Elberta now for several 

 years in our test orchard and are more impressed with it 

 each year. It ripens ahead of the regular Early Elberta 

 and Belle of Georgia : it averages large in size, extra fine 

 quality and shows good shipping ability. We have long 

 needed a good commercial peach to fill this ripening time. 

 Sullivan's Early Elberta has real possibilities and Ave recom- 

 mend it highly.

 tiful of the Elberta type peaches. A very large, attractively

REDSKIN <i2) 



A New Introduction by University of Maryland Experi- 

 mental Station (Bred and Tested as Md. 1-15). 



The Redskin peach is a product of the Maryland UniA-er- 

 sity Experiment Station and is the result of a cross betAveen 

 Hale and Elberta. It ripens slightly ahead or Avith Elberta. 

 The tree is vigorous, fast growing and productive. Wood 

 is hardy and the buds survived the Ioav Avinter temperatures 

 of 1942-4o along Avith the hardiest A-arieties indicating that 

 it is very bud hardy. The fruit of the Redskin is round, 

 yelloAv flesh Avitli little or no color near the pit. It is a com- 

 plete freestone, firm flesh of excellent shipping quality, Avell 

 colored Avith a deep red blush covering the fruit even Avhen 

 ripening under shady conditions. In taste, it is aromatic, 

 vinous and SAA-eet. Due to the flrmness, it is rated high for 

 canning. Fruit develops good size even Avith heavy load on 

 tree. This neAv variety is recommended for trial for com- 

 mercial and nearby markets. We AA-ere fortunate to have 

 this variety in our testing block for seA-eral years and while 

 the variety AA^as released during fall of 1944 we believe we 

 are the first nursery to offer the trees of Redskin for general 

 planting. 



ELBERTA (i2») 



THE PEACH WITH A PEDIGREE 



The World's Greatest 3Ioneymaking Peach. 



1950 Season shows the Famous Elberta again leading the 

 profit parade. 



Plant Bountiful Ridge True Strain Elberta for greater 

 profits and consumer satisfaction. 



Without question, the greatest commercial peach ever in- 

 troduced. It has proven its ability to adapt itself to varied 

 climatic and soil conditions throughout the U.S. and Canada, 

 Avhether the climate is hot or cold, Avhether the soil is light 

 sandy or heavy clay, Elberta can be depended on to give 

 you fine results. There is no prettier peach AA^hen groAvn un- 

 der ideal conditions. 



The tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty and A-ery 

 productive under most conditions. The fruit is large to 

 very large, a freestone, skin of deep golden yelloAA' and 

 highly colored. The skin is tough and the flesh, Avliile tender 

 and juicy, is of such texture that the ELBERTA IS FAM- 

 OUS FOR ITS ABILITY TO CARRY TO DISTANT MAR- 

 KETS. The quality is classed as good, and the slight bitter 

 flavor is preferred by many. It is estimated that 50% of all 

 peaches planted are Elberta. As improved types and varie- 

 ries are introduced this ratio is lower but after all is said, 

 ELBERTA STILL REMAINS THE W^ORLD'S LEADIN(f 

 COMMERCIAL PEACH. We are propagating our Elberta 

 trees from selected orchards of great bearing records and to 

 the old original type Elberta. 



NOTE: ELBERTA — Trees available on Nematode Resistant 

 Root Stock. $ .10 extra per tree. See Page 20. 



I LI W AT F* (12b) -"^ description will hardly do jus- 

 • **• ■tl***jJ-» tice to this flne A'ariety. In size 



it is one-third to one-half larger than the Elberta and is 

 more highly colored. The skin is deep crimson, smooth, 

 tight, and almost without fuzz. Flesh is golden yelloAv, 

 firm and has a most delicious flavor. The pit separates 

 easily from the flesh. It is exceptionally valuable as a com- 

 mercial peach. OAving to its unusual keeping qualities. Will 

 ship nearly as well as an apple. Fruit ripens a feAv days 

 before and Avith the Elberta but it Avill hang on the tree 

 longer. I'our planting is incomplete Avithout it. Note — The 

 T. H. Hale does not have an entirely perfect bloom, and to 

 get the best results it should be planted with some other 

 variety. 



NOTE: J. H. HALE— Trees available on Nematode Re- 

 sistant Root Stock. $ .10 extra per tree. See Page 20. 



AFTERGLOW (N.J. 84) d^) 



Usually ripens 3 to 

 5 days after Elber- 

 ta therefore, often meets good, strong markets. Fruits are 

 large, round, oval in shape and almost completely over- 

 spread AA'ith red. The flesh is yelloAv stained with red about 

 the pit and is free. The trees are vigorous and rapid 

 growers, the fruit buds appear more hardy than .1. H. Hale 

 Avhere observed. Recommended for trial in most districts.
