'Profits' 



Producing orchards from Texas to Canada and from Maryland to the State of Washington prove the Uni- 

 versal Adaptability of the Erly-Red-Fre. 



In all our experience as Nurserymen and Horticulturists, never have we seen a new peach with such wide 

 adaptability and prove so universally satisfactory to grower and consumer, excepting possibly the famous EI- 

 berta. 



The Erly-Red-Fre originated as a chance seedling in the 

 orchard of Wm. Perry near Chase City, Va. We first saw 

 the peach in 1935 and the second generation trees bore fruit 

 of the same type two years later. The fruits are highly 

 colored being an attractive red on a creamy white back- 

 ground. The skin is tough and medium thick. The flesh is 

 such that it does not show bruises through the skin for sev- 

 eral days and is white all the way through to the pit. It has 

 one of 'the smallest pits of any cultivated peach. Fruit size 

 is large for such an early peach, some specimens weighing 

 12 ounces. The entire crop can be packed at 2 1 4" and up if 

 desired under normal conditions. The tree is very vigorous, 

 resistant to bacterial spot, and bears very young. 



The Erly-Red-Fre ripens uniformly, does not show bruises 

 readily and will keep and ship better than Elberta. 



There is a place in every grower's program for the Erly- 



Red-Fre. Whether you are a large commercial grower or a 

 smaller one depending on local or nearby markets, Erly-Red- 

 Fre is a proven money maker. This great peach can with- 

 stand extremely low temperatures both in the bud and blos- 

 som and still come through with a fine profitable crop. It 

 has also come back from delayed dormancy trouble and 

 hurricane damage to produce outstanding crops. Its in- 

 herent resistance to disease make it one of the easiest trees 

 to manage. 



Many growers are now realizing another important fact 

 that makes Erly-Red-Fre the great peach that it is. 95 

 DAYS AFTER IiLnfiJl ERLY-RED-FRE CAN BE PICK- 

 ED AND SOLD. Not onlv does this valuable peach bring 

 premium prices BUT THE FRUITS ARE HARVESTED 

 BEFORE PRODUCTION COSTS HAVE USED UP MOST 

 OF THE PROFIT. Modernize your plantings and include 

 this great profit maker in your plans for this year. 



We guarantee the trees and plants we ship to be as represented and invoiced for in grade and quality 

 and if upon arrival you do not find them to be as we state tliev are, return them to us securely packed and 

 in good condition WITHIN FIVE DAYS AFTER ARRIVAL and we will promptly replace or refund pur- 

 chase price paid at our option. Adequate State and Federal inspection certificates are sent with every ship- 

 ment guaranteeing protection from injurious diseases. We cannot, under all circumstances guarantee our trees 

 and plants to grow, because continued growth depends largely on soil and weather conditions at planting time 

 as well as planting and care of trees and plants, and we have no control over these conditions. After ten days 

 it is mutually understood that the Nursery stock shipped to you is satisfactory and claims, if any. must be made 

 within ten days after arrival. We reserve the right to adjust claims for replacement of stotck made after this ten 

 day period in accordance with established policies of our firm and trade practices of the Nursery Industr3 T .
