 Ci^LirOL Belie. A dark red, yellow-fleshed free- 



stone peach of firm texture and good flavor, ripens with Hi- 

 ley. Tree is very vigorous. The fruit is oval in shape, flesh

 sunny side; flesh white with red at pit. Very hardy. Free-

SULLIVAN'S EARLY ELBERTA »> 



Leads The Early Elberta Season 



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

 growing areas 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 were found to be identical with Elberta. Sullivan's 

 Early Elberta is being planted extensively throughout Geor- 

 gia and adjoining states. Our trees are propagated from the 

 original strain. 



It ripens ahead of the regular Early Elberta and Belle of 

 Georgia; it averages large in size, extra fine 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 recommend it highly. 



l) Introduced by Missouri Exp. Station re- 

 sulting from a cross of Frank by Hale 

 Haven. Its ripening 

 ;s are large, i 



with heavy crop. Poppy has an attractive red color, col- 

 oring well before peach is ripe. Fruits are firm, yellow 

 fleshed, freestone of fine texture and flavor. A good ship- 

 ping peach. Its season and general characteristics are such 

 that it should have a place in most orchards.

 yellow-fleshed free- 

 stone ripening about a week before Elberta. The skin color

 quality is supreme, flesh golden yellow, firm and juicy. Tree

REDSKIN (ID 



A New Introduction by University of Maryland Experi- 

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



The Redskin peach is a product of the Maryland Universi- 

 ty Experiment Station and is the result of a cross between 

 Hale 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 

 1942-43 along with the hardiest varieties indicating that it is 

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

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

 Fruit develops good size even with heavy load on trees. 



This vigorous field of peach seedlings will give you an 

 idea of the way those wonderful Bountiful Strain Peach trees 

 get their start. From these understocks will come trees of 

 the same high quality that have made Bountiful Strain Trees 

 FAMOUS FOR HIGH PRODUCTION AND PROFITS.

THE PEACH WITH A PEDIGREE 



The World's Greatest Money-Making Peach 

 Plant Bountiful Ridge Tree Strain Elberta for greater pro- 

 fits and consumer satisfaction. 



Without question, the greatest commercial peach ever in- 

 troduced. It has proven its ability to adapt itself to varied 

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

 Whether the climate is hot or cold, whether the soil is light 

 sandy or heavy clay. Elberta can be depended on to give you 

 fine results. There is no prettier peach when grown under 

 ideal conditions. 



The tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty and very 

 productive under most conditions. The fruit is large to very 

 large, a freestone, skin of deep golden yellow and highlv 

 colored. The skin is tough and the Mesh, while tender and 

 juicy, 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 lower but after all is said, ELBERTA 

 STILL REMAINS THE WORLD'S LEADING COMMER 

 C1AL PEACH. We are propagating our Elberta trees from 

 selected orchards of great bearing records and to the old 

 original type Elberta.

! J. H. HALE dib) 



St. Joseph's Abbey 



A description will hardly do jus- 

 tice to this fine variety. In size 

 it is one-third to one- half larger than the Elberta and is 

 more highly colored. The skin is deep crimson, smooth 

 tight, and almost without fuzz. Flesh is golden yellow, firm 

 and has a most delicious flavor. The pit separates easily 

 from the flesh. It is exceptionally valuable as a commercial 

 peach owing to its unusual keeping qualities. Will ship 

 nearly as well as an apple. Fruit ripens a few days before 

 and with the Elberta but it will hang on the tree longer. 

 Your planting is incomplete without it. Note — The J. H. 

 Hale does not have an entirely perfect bloom, and to get the 

 best results it should be planted with some other variety.
