GENERAL PEACH TREES SUPPLY 

 1951 - 1952 



Seed, weather and labor conditions in the Nurseries have 

 combined to create a SHORT supply of peach trees through- 

 out the United States this year. 



OUR FAVORABLE LOCATION has again proved its 

 worth to us as Nurserymen and to the growers in enabling 

 us to have a fine supply at Bountiful Ridge and as this is 

 written in early July they are growing fine and should be 

 as good as we have groAvn in many years. 



Considering this YOU can look to Bountiful Ridge Nur- 

 series for your plantings of Peach this year providing you 

 place your orders early. Sales are bound to be heavier on 

 some varieties than others and this m^eans shortages as the 

 season advances so — OUR ADVICE IS — DON'T WAIT — 

 BUY EARLY — BUY BOUNTIFUL RIDGE PEACH TREES 

 FOR BETTER SUCCESS. 



SPECIAL NOTE 

 We want you to plant BOUNTIFUL RIDGE trees. 

 Our trees are as good as can be produced. When 

 wa'nting more than 200 peach trees write to us giv- 

 ing list and we will quote you special prices con- 

 sistent with market conditions at that time.

Bethesda, Md. — May 8, 1951 

 Gentlemen : 



Tlie Franklina tree arrived last Monday. It was in excell- 

 ent condition and is a fine si>ecimen. I can see no reason 

 why the tree will not do well. 



Very truly yours, 

 W. Paddock 



End view of one of our peach tree blocks. These trees are 

 vigorous, hardy and ready to gi\e satisfaction when planted 

 in your orchard. None can be finer — 1951. 



"niYTRFn (2a) I>ixired is a product of the U.S.D.A. 

 ^^^^^i-^*-*-**^ It is a cliufrstone medium size, round 



with light pubescence. About three-fourths of the surface 

 is covered with a bright attractive red blusli. Flesh is 

 yellow, firm but melting, medium textured and of good 

 flavor. 



The outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its unusual 

 firmnes* and slow rate of softening for an early peacli, plus 

 an attractive api»earance. The fruit acquires color long be- 

 fore it is ready to pick. 



Dixired is recommended for trial as an early shipping 

 peach.

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



GOLDRAY <2") 



A NEW BUD SI»ORT OF THE FAMOUS GOLDEN 



JUBILEE PEACH, RII'ENING TWO WEEKS EARLIER 



THAN THE REGULAR GOLDEN JUBILEE. 



INTRODUCED BY BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES 

 SPRING 1950. 



First observed by us during fruiting season of 1939 in a 

 large planting of Golden .Jubilee on the fruit farms of .1. Koy 

 Cunningham, I^ancaster, 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- 

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

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

 ful Ridge Nurseries with a sense of pride. 



G0L1>RAY fruits large or larger than regular Jubilee. The 

 quality is equal to Golden .lubilee. (Joldray has a i)eautiful 

 briglit red blush on a real golden background. Goldray will 

 cling to pit when not fully ripe and like regular .Jui)ik'e 

 has a tender skin and flesh being more adapted for home 

 use, roadstand markets and nearby commercial markets. 

 GOLDRAY TRI'lES are very vigorous, making a heavy set 

 of buds which in our tests have i)r()ven as hardy or more 

 hardy than regular Jubilee resulting in very regular croi)s. 

 Our test trees in various sections as far north as the 

 Canadian peach area indicate its wide adai)tal)ility. Imng- 

 ine your pleasure in picking those handsome .Jubilee tyi)e 

 peaches two weeks before your regular Golden .Jubilee nor- 

 mally ripens. 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. 



EARLY EAST (N. J. 134) (a") 



By popular demand we add the Early East to our peach 

 list Jiecause of its behavior in certain fruit districts. It is 

 medium to large, yellow fleshed, rij)ening about three weeks 

 before Golden Jubilee. The fruit attains an attractive red 

 color and fair edible quality. It is hardy and productive. 

 Ships well and is recommended for home and commercial 

 plantings. 



Flesh clings to pit when hard ripe but becomes free 

 when tree ripens.
