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

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

 spread with red. The flesh is yellow stained with red about 

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

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

 where observed. Recommended for trial in most districts.

SHIPPERS LATE RED (i^^) 



(Bountiful Strain) 



Best of tlie Hale type Shippers Late Red. A 

 Large, productive, handsome peach recommended 

 to follow Elberta. Brings liigh prices. 



A very large, very highly colored attractive red, 

 yellow fleshed freestone and good quality peach of 

 distinct Hale type, llipens just after Elberta and J. 

 H. Hale. A good shipping peach, extremely produc- 

 tive. Very hardy and its beauty and size enables it 

 to bring top prices on the markets. This splendid 

 variety should be planted more extensively as we 

 know of no variety we can recommend more highly 

 for a peach to follow the Elberta. 



Much confusion exists regarding the various strains 

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

 termined by comparison with fruit in U. S. D. A. test 

 orchards, which is known as the Hale type. 



NOTE: SHIPPERS LATE RED — Trees available 

 on Nematode Resistant Root Steele. $ .10 extra per 

 tree. See Page 20. 



GAGE ELBERTA (i3b) 



MR. PLANTER: Don't pass up Gage, it has every- 

 thing a peach should have — size, quality and beauty. 



A Disease Resistant Bud Sport of the Famous El- 

 berta Peach, Which We Recommend Highly. 



Recommended for resistance to bacterium pruni. The tree 

 grows as thrifty as the Elberta and looks much like the old 

 time Elberta. Gage Elberta 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 dis- 

 tinguish the difference. llipens two to three days later than 

 Elberta. 



This variety is proving well adapted to Southern con- 

 ditions in the trial planting at Columbia and Clemson, 

 South Carolina and is to be preferred over the Elberta in 

 many respects. 



^ THE BRACKET PEACH <i3e) 



ONE OF THE BEST VARIETIES TO FOEEOW ELBERTA 

 AND IT IS PROVING A GREAT COMMERCIAE PEACH. 



This is a comparatively new variety in some sections, but 

 has been tried and proven one of the most profitable peaches 

 in the South and Central areas. Its season is about five 

 days after Elberta, Avith a beautiful orange-yellow skin 

 tinged with carmine. Flesh is a deep yellow and much 

 lighter flavored than Elberta. This peach sizes up well un- 

 der heavy crops and is equal to Elberta as a shipper. A 

 perfect freestone and a real peach. 



HOPE FARM (14) 



Introduced by us in 1925, orig- 

 inating on Hope Farm, Bergen 

 County, New Jersey, home of the late Mr. Collingwood, edi- 

 tor 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. Ex- 

 tremely hardy in bud. Proving a favorite and filling a 

 need for a good white peach to follow Belle of Georgia.

GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA <i5) 



RINGS THE BELL — A WINNER 



Now fruiting over a wide area, growers everywhere 

 mji'rvel at its fruiting ability, size, beauty and quality. 



Beautiful color, large size, excellent quality, fine 

 shipping and keeping ability combine in GEMMERS 

 LATE ELBERTA to make it one of the most prom- 

 ising varieties we have ever observed to follow the 

 Elberta season. Gemmers Late Elberta has what it 

 takes to become a' leader of its season. 



GEMi\IERS EATE ELBERTA 



It is a typical Elberta in fruit and tree characteristics. 

 It ripens 8 to 12 days after Elberta, just following Shippers 

 Late Red and before Lizzie and Salberta. There is a place 

 here for a good Elberta type peach and we believe Gem- 

 mers Late Elberta will fill it. N. J. Experiment Station 

 has grown Gemmers for several years and seems favorably 

 impressed with its performance at New Brunswick. Fruits 

 are very uniform, large, well covered with a brilliant red 

 tough skin. Flesh very firm, being slightly tinged with 

 red about the pit but red does not extend into the golden 

 yellow flesh. Originating at Sussex, N. J., well up in the 

 Mountains where many varieties of peaches fail to stand the 

 climatic conditions should recommend GEMMERS as a hardy 

 variety both in tree and bud. WE RECOMMEND "GEM- 

 MERS LATE ELBERTA" FOR TRIAL IN ALL PEACH 

 SECTIONS WHERE YOU WISH TO CONTINUE THE 

 ELBERTA SEASON WITH A REAL PEACH. 



NOTE: GEMMERS EATE ELBERTA— Trees available on 

 Nematode Resistant Root Stock. $ .10 extra per tree. See 

 Pago 20. 



RIO-OSO-GEM <i5''> 



A HALE TYPE EATE PEACH FOLLOWING ELBERTA 

 7 TO 10 DAYS. FRUIT LARGE IN SIZE WITH BRIL- 

 LIANT RED COLOR AND LIGHT PUBESCENCE. THE 

 FLESH IS FIRM AND FINE TEXTURED WITH EX- 

 CELLENT FLAVOR. BECAUSE OF ITS FIRMNESS OF 

 FLESH IT IS FINE FOR FREEZING, CANNING AND 

 OTHER USES. RIO-OSO-GEM IS ALSO AN OUTSTAND- 

 ING COaiMERCIAL VARIETY.

QUALITY COMBINE TO MAKE THIS PEACH A 



FAVORITE TO FOLLOW GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA 



The origin of this peach has not been fully determined 

 yet it has been very successfully grown by commercial 

 orchardists in N. J.. Conn., and in several Southern states. 

 It is a distinct Elberta type peach, very large, freestone, 

 having a fine yellow flesh and the peach ripens slowly af- 

 ter being taken off the tree. It ripens from 1'2 to 16 days 

 after Elberta, colors well with a handsome red over a 

 deep yellow undertone. The tree is thrifty, hardy, heavy 

 bearer of regular crops. Some growers consider it the best 

 of our present list of real late peaches. 



\ AUTUMN (N.J. 145) (i6a> 



CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST 

 VERY LATE VARIETIES 



The latest, large, yellow freestone ripening fully ten to 

 fourteen days after Elberta. Later than Late Crawford, or 

 Rio-Oso-Gem. The tree is a very vigorous grower and 

 should be planted on well-drained good peach soil. For the 

 grower who wishes good size, high quality fruit for road 

 side stand or nearby markets Autumn fills the bill.
