THE 



1948-49 PEACH TREE 



SUPPLY 



Due to fine jrrowiuff conditions 

 during the 1948 season here at 

 Bountiful Ridge, we are fortun- 

 ate to have an increased produc- 

 tion on both regular and Nema- 

 tode Resistant Understock peach 

 trees. We also have a nice lot 

 of the larger grades in all varie- 

 ties to go with our grades espec- 

 ially grown for the Southern 

 planter. Reports from the south- 

 ern areas indicate June Buds in 

 short supply and run mostly in 

 the smaller grades due to dry 

 weather during 1947-48. 



We feel that large commercial 

 planters should plan carefully 

 and buy early, as the overall 

 picture on peach trees shows a 

 25% decrease over last year. 

 Many of the newer varieties are 

 in short supply and will be 

 absorbed by early buying this 



fall. DON'T WAIT, to do so may bring disappoint- 

 ment. 



Bountiful Ridge Nurseries invites your correspond- 

 ence and will lend our cooperation to make your future 

 plantings a success.

Nematode Resistant. 

 For the first time we 

 offer Erly-Red-Fre on nematode resistant root (Yun- 

 nan). 



Growers in highly infested nematode areas should 

 plant nematode reistant root stock on all peach varie- 

 ties when available. 



While Ave can only furnish Erly-Red-Fre for Fall 1947 

 and Spring 1948 we will have the more popular com- 

 mercial varieties next year and thereafter in yearling 

 stock only. 



It pays to protect your orchards and future income 

 at the outlay of a few cents more because you get early 

 and rapid growth of tree — longer lived tree — heavier 

 production — better quality. See feature article on Nem- 

 atode page. Prices for Erly-Red-Fre on Nematode 

 Resistant Root Stock iO cents extra per tree on all 

 grades. Yearling trees only. See page 20 for varieties 

 we can furnish on Nematode Resistant Root Stock*

DIXIRED (2'') 



A NEW EAREY YEEI.OW PEACH 

 RIPENS TWO WEEKS BEFORE GOEDEN JUBILEE 

 ATTRACTIVE OVERALL RED COLOR— GOOD 

 QUALITY— FIRM SHIPPER— PRODUCTIVE 



Dixired is a product of the U. S. D. A. Experiment 

 Station at Beltsville, Md., and tested largely in Georgia 

 and South Carolina as FV 5-70. 



The fruit ripens about with Erly-Red-Fre or two 

 Aveeks earlier than Golden Jubilee. 



It is a clingstone, medium size, round with light pu- 

 bescence. About three-fourths of the surface is covered 

 with a bright attractive red blush. Flesh is yellow, 

 firm but melting, medium textured and of good flavor. 



The outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its un- 

 usual firmness and slow rate of softening for an early 

 peach, plus an atractive appearance. The fruit acquires 

 color long before it is ready to pick. 



Rixired is recommended for trial as an early shipping 

 peac. Trees limited. 



NOTE: DIXIRED— Trees available on Nematode Re- 

 sistant Root Stock. $ .10 extra per tree. See page 20.
