STATEMENT ON INSPECTION FOR 

 TRUENESS TO NAME 



September 12, 1946 

 To Whom it may concern : 



This is to state that all the saleable Peach 

 trees now growing in the Bountiful Ridge Nur- 

 series, Princess Anne, Md., have been examined 

 for TRUENESS-TO-NAME by A. P. French, 

 O. C. Roberts, W. D. AVeeks and W. H. Thies, 

 and any mixtures observed were rectified. 

 While it is impossible to positively identify all 

 peach varieties in the nursery row, it is pos- 

 sible to eliminate a high percentage of the mix- 

 tures.

THE 1946-47 PEACH TREE SUPPLY 



Reliable reports from Nurserymen and personal 

 observations indicate the shortest supply of peach 

 trees available to the planter we have known in 

 manj' years. Seedling stock for budding, shortage 

 of skilled Nursery laborers and unnatural weather 

 conditions have again combined to cut National 

 peach tree production to about 30% normal. 



Our supply at Bountiful Ridge is about the same 

 as last year or 35% normal. This is the fourth 

 year of general tree shortage and not much chance 

 of improvement before Fall 1947. Every planter 

 can realize what this means. Large commercial 

 plantings have been and will continue to be cur- 

 tailed. You should take the best of care of your 

 existing trees. You should watch closely variety 

 trends. You should plan carefully your future 

 plantings. We, at Bountiful Ridge, are keeping 

 alert and assure you of our earnest cooperation to 

 make your plantings a success.

DIXIRED (2") 



A NEW EARLY YELLOW PEACH 



RIPENS TWO WEEKS BEFORE GOLDEN JUBILEE 



ATTRACTIVE OVERALL RED COLOR— GOOD 



QUALITY— FIRM SHIPPER— PRODUCTIVE 



Dixlred is a product of the U. S. D. A. Experiment 

 Station at Beltsville, Md., and tested largely in Georgia 

 and South Carolina as PV 5-70. 



The fruit ripens about with Erly-Red-Fre or two 

 weeks earlier than Golden Jubilee. 



It is a clingstone, medium size, round with light pub- 

 escence. About three fourths of the surface is covered 

 with a bright attractive red blush. Flesh is yellow, 

 firm but melting, medium textured and of good flavor. 



The outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its 

 unusual firmness and slow rate of softening for an early 

 peach, plus an attractive appearance. The fruit ac- 

 quires color long before it is ready to pick. 



Dixired is recommended for trial as an early shipping 

 peach. Trees limited.
