SHIPPERS LATE RED d^") 



A Favorite Wherever Planted. 

 Hard To Equal As A Large, Productive, Hand- 

 some Peach To Follow Elberta. 



A largo, very liig-hly colored attractive red, yellow 

 lleslied freestone and good quality peach of distinct 

 Hale type. Ripens just after Elberta and J. H. Hale. 

 A good shipping- peach, extremely productive. Very 

 h;irdy and its beauty and size enables it to bring top 

 prucs on the market's. This sjilendid variety should be 

 (•lanted more extensively as we know of no variety we 

 can recommend more highly for a peach to follow the 

 Klberta. 



Much confusion exists regarding the various strains 

 of this variety. We are growing the true type as de- 

 termined by comparsions with fruit in U. S. 1). A. test 

 orchards, which is known as the Hale type. 



GAGE ELBERTA <i:^") 



A Disease Resistant Bud Sport of The Famous 

 Elberta Peach, Which We Can Recommend Highly. 



Recommended for resistance to bacterium pru- 

 ni. The tree grows thrifty as the Elberta and 

 looks much like the old time Elberta. Gage El- 

 berta blooms from two to four days after Elberta 

 and apparently has a very strong blossom setting 

 a crop of fruit under unfavorable conditions. 

 The fruit is so near like the Elberta that only an 

 expert can distinguish the difference. It ripens 

 two to three days later than Elberta. 



This variety is proving well adapted to South- 

 ern conditions in the trial planting at Columbia 

 and Clemson. South Carolina and is to be prefer- 

 red over the Elberta in many respects. 



THE BRACKETT PEACH d^o 



PROVING A GREAT COMMERCIAL, PEACH 



This is a comparatively new variety in some sections, 

 but has been tried and proven one of the most profit- 

 able peaches in the South and Central areas. Its sea- 

 son is about five days after Elberta, with a beautiful 

 orange-yellow skin tinged with carmine. Flesh is a 

 deep yellow and much higher flavored than Elberta. 

 This peach sizes up well under heavy crops and is 

 equal to Elberta as a shipper. A perfect freestone 

 and a real peach. 



MEDIUM LATE VARIETIES 



HOPE FARM (14) Introduced by us in 1925, 

 **^^* '-' * **■'•*■*■ * originating on Hope Farm, 



Bergen County, New Jersey, home of the late Mr. Col- 

 lingwood, editor of Rural New Yorker, farm paper. A 

 large, white-fleshed freestone peach of superior quality. 

 Follows Elberta about five days in ripening. Partially 

 self -fertile. Extremely hardy in bud. Proving a fav- 

 orite and filling a need for a good white peach to fol- 

 low Belle of Georgia. 



Gemmers Late Elberta (15) 



RINGS THE BELL— A WINNER IN 1945 



Now fruiting over a wide area, growers every- 

 where marvel at its fruiting ability, size, beauty 

 and quality. 



Beautiful color, large size, excellent quality, fine 

 shipping and keeping ability combine in GEM- 

 MERS LATE ELBERTA to make it one of the 

 most promising varieties we have ever observed 

 to follow the Elberta season. 



Originating in the orchards of Mr. Conrad Gemmer, 

 Sussex, N. ■)., we have observed this peach for several 

 years and it seems superior in appearance, size, quality 

 and shipping ability to any other peach we now have 

 to follow Elberta. It is a typical Elberta in fruit and 

 tree characteristics. It ripens 8 to 12 days after El- 

 berta. .iust following Shippers Late Red and before 

 Eizzie and Salberta. There is a place here for a good 



Elberta type peach and we believe Gemmers Late El- 

 berta will fill it. N. J. Experiment Station has grown 

 Gemmers for several years and seem favorably impress- 

 ed with its performance at New Brunswick. Fruits are 

 very uniform, large, well covered with a brilliant red 

 on an attractive golden yellow, almost fuzzless, having 

 a smooth tough skin. Flesh very firm, being slightly 

 tinged with red about the pit but red does not extend 

 into the golden yellow fiesh. Originating at Sussex, N. 

 J., well up in the Mountains where many varieties of 

 peaches fail to stand the climatic conditions should 

 recommend GE^MMERS as a hardy variety both in tree 

 and bud. WE RECOMMEND "GEMMERS LATE EL- 

 BERTA" FOR TRIAL IN ALL PEACPI SECTIONS 

 AVHERE YOU WISH TO CONTINUE THE ELBERTA 

 SEASON WITH A REAL PEACH.

 their 2 year old trees. They pronounce it a "winner" and now have planted
