  HALE 
  HAVEN. 
  A 
  product 
  of 
  the 
  South 
  Haven 
  Experimental 
  

   Station. 
  Introduced 
  for 
  trial 
  by 
  them 
  as 
  an 
  improved 
  South 
  

   Haven. 
  It 
  ripens 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  as 
  South 
  Haven 
  and 
  is 
  

   equally 
  as 
  hardy; 
  always 
  a 
  freestone, 
  seeming- 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  

   tougher 
  skin 
  and 
  more 
  highly 
  colored 
  and 
  apparently 
  more 
  

   desirable 
  for 
  commercial 
  purposes. 
  We 
  recommend 
  this 
  

   variety 
  for 
  trial 
  in 
  comparison 
  with 
  South 
  Haven 
  which 
  is 
  

   now 
  fruiting 
  quite 
  generally 
  throughout 
  the 
  country 
  and 
  

   proving 
  a 
  valuable 
  addition 
  to 
  our

  VETERAN. 
  A 
  cross 
  between 
  Vaughan 
  and 
  Early

   Canadian 
  origin. 
  The 
  fruit 
  is 
  large, 
  round, 
  yellow 
  fleshed, 
  

   freestone 
  and" 
  superior 
  to 
  Elberta 
  in 
  quality. 
  Ripens 
  a

   days

  about 
  2 
  weeks

  Our

  We 
  recommend 
  these 
  for

   as 
  yellow

  peaches 
  to 
  precede 
  the 
  Early

  SLAPPY. 
  We 
  are 
  propagating 
  a 
  selected 
  strain 
  of 
  Slappy 
  

   that, 
  we 
  consider 
  superior 
  to 
  the 
  original 
  Slappy 
  variety. 
  We 
  

   found 
  this 
  two 
  years 
  ago 
  in 
  an 
  orchard 
  and 
  immediately 
  

   budded 
  some 
  of 
  them. 
  The 
  peach 
  seems 
  to 
  average 
  larger, 
  

   much 
  higher 
  colored, 
  and 
  the 
  tree 
  seems 
  very 
  vigorous, 
  oth- 
  

   erwise 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  typical 
  Slappy 
  in 
  every 
  way. 
  The 
  Slappy 
  is 
  a 
  

   yellow 
  freestone 
  peach 
  of 
  very 
  good 
  quality, 
  ripening 
  about 
  

   the 
  same 
  time 
  as 
  Hiley 
  Bell. 
  It 
  is 
  especially 
  suitable 
  for 
  

   nearby 
  markets 
  where 
  quality 
  and 
  appearance 
  count.

  EARLY

  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  finest 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  

   Elberta 
  family 
  ; 
  being 
  finer 
  flavored, 
  as 
  handsome 
  in 
  

   color, 
  perfect 
  freestone. 
  Whoever 
  plants 
  this 
  variety 
  

   will 
  be 
  more 
  than 
  satisfied, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  money-maker 
  

   and 
  a 
  great 
  peach 
  for 
  all 
  purposes. 
  Ripens 
  from 
  one 
  

   week 
  to 
  ten 
  days 
  earlier 
  than 
  the 
  regular 
  Elberta. 
  

  

  ELBERTA. 
  The 
  leader 
  of

  and 
  the 
  greatest 
  

   commercial 
  variety 
  on 
  the 
  market 
  ; 
  50 
  per 
  cent 
  of 
  all 
  

   peaches 
  planted 
  are 
  Elberta. 
  In 
  all

  no 
  

   peach 
  will 
  succeed 
  over 
  so 
  wide 
  a 
  range 
  of 
  territory 
  

   as 
  this 
  kind. 
  It 
  will

  HALE. 
  A 
  description 
  will 
  hardly 
  do 
  justice 
  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 
  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 
  about 
  

   five 
  days 
  before 
  the 
  Elberta, 
  but 
  it 
  will 
  hang 
  on 
  the 
  

   tree 
  longer.

  it

  other

  THE 
  BRACKETT 
  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. 
  Its 
  s' 
  ason 
  is 
  about 
  five 
  days 
  after 
  Elberta, 
  

   with 
  a 
  beautiful 
  orange-yelloAV 
  skin 
  tinged 
  with 
  car- 
  

   mine. 
  Flesh 
  is 
  a 
  deep 
  yellow 
  and 
  much 
  higher 
  flav- 
  

   ored 
  than 
  Elberta. 
  This 
  peach 
  sizes 
  up 
  well 
  under 
  

   heavy 
  crops 
  and 
  is 
  equal 
  to 
  Elberta 
  as 
  a

  ROBERTA. 
  A 
  variety 
  that 
  is 
  becoming 
  justly 
  popular. 
  

   Very 
  similar 
  to 
  Elberta 
  in 
  all 
  respects 
  except 
  its 
  sea- 
  

   son, 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  week 
  to 
  ten 
  days 
  later. 
  Our 
  original 
  

   buds 
  of 
  this 
  variety 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  orchards 
  of 
  Mr. 
  

   Roberts, 
  Moorestown, 
  N. 
  J. 
  This 
  variety 
  is 
  some- 
  

   times 
  confused 
  with 
  Augbert 
  by 
  orchardists 
  and 
  nur- 
  

   serymen. 
  We 
  consider 
  it 
  superior 
  to 
  Augbert 
  and 
  an 
  

   excellent 
  variety 
  to 
  lengthen 
  the 
  Elberta 
  season.
