 ground Dec, 1946. Mr. Rigdon is a highly successful 

 peach grower and now has planted more than 100 acres

 ERLY-RED-FRE. 



The above is a limb on a 2-year-old tree of Erly-Red- 

 Fre. Production reports coming to vis from planters in 

 all sections of the U. S. show ERLY-RED-FRE pro- 

 ducing good crops on very young trees and continuing

 find a heavy bloom bud set and resultant good set of 

 fruit which in some cases should be thinned.

 FACULTY OF MATURING ITS CROP TO LARGE 

 SIZE FRUITS EVEN THO THERE IS A HEAVY SET 

 OF FRUIT.
