^ SULLIVAN'S EARLY ELBERTA <9> 



A GREAT SUCCESS WHEREVER PLANTED 



Leads The Early Elberta Season In 



All Sections 



It is proving to be well adapted to the entire Central poach 

 i^roAving- 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 characteris- 

 tics Avere found to be identical with Elberta. Sullivan's 

 Earlv Elberta is being planted extensively throughout Geor- 

 gia and adjoining states. 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 line 

 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 we recom- 

 mend it highly.

 able on Nematode Resistant Root Stock, $ .10 extra per tree.

A New Introduction by I'niversity of Maryland lixperi- 

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



The Redskin peach is a product of the Maryland Univer- 

 sity Experiment Station and is the result of a cross betAveen 

 Halo and Elberta. It ripens slightly ahead or with Elberta. 

 The tree is vigorous, fast growing and productive. Wood is 

 hardy and the buds survived the low winter temperatures of 

 1942-13 along with the hardiest varieties indicating that it is 

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

 flesh with little or no color near the pit. It is a complete 

 freestone, firm flesh of excellent shipping quality, well color- 

 ed with a deep red blush covering the fruit even when ripen- 

 ing under shady conditions. In taste, it is aromatic, vinous 

 and SAveet. Due to the firmness, it is rated high for canning. 

 Fruit develops good size even Avith heavy load on trees.

THE PEACH WITH A PEDIGREE 



The World's Greatest Moneymaking Peach 

 Plant Bountiful Ridge True Strain Elbei'ta for greater 

 profits and consumer satisfaction. 



Without question, the greatest commercial peach ever in- 

 troduced. It has proA-en its ability to adapt itself to varied 

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

 productiA-e under most conditions. The fruit is large to A-ery 

 large, a freestone, skin of deep golden yelloAv and highly 

 colored. The skin is tough and the flesh, Avhile tender and 

 luicv, is of such texture that the ELBERTA IS FAMOUS 

 FOR ITS ABILITY TO CARRY TO DISTANT MARKETS. 

 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 varieties are 

 introduced this ratio is loAver but after all is said, ELBERTA 

 STILL REMAINS THE AVORLD'S LEADING COMMERC- 

 IAL PEACH. We are propagating our Elberta trees from 

 selected orchards of great bearing records and to the old 

 original type Elberta.
