OUR TREES ARE AMERICA'S NO. 1 VALUE 



SHIPPERS LATE RED d^a) 



(Bountiful Strain) 

 Best of the Hale type Shippers Late Red. A 

 Large, productive, handsome peach recommended 

 to follow Elberta. Brings high prices. 



A large, very highly colored attractive red, yelloAv 

 fleshed freestone and good quality peach of distinct 

 Hale type. Ripens just after Elberta and J. H. Hale. 

 A good shipping peach, extremely productive. Very 

 hardy and its beauty and size enables it to bring top 

 prices on the markets. This splendid variety should 

 be planted more extensively as we know of no variety 

 we can recommend more highly for a peach to follow 

 the Elberta. 



Much confusion exists regarding the various 

 strains of this A^ariety. We are growing the true 

 type as determined by comparison with fruit in 

 U. S. D. A. test orchards, which is known as 

 the Hale type. 



NOTE: SHirPEBS I.ATE RED— Trees avail- 

 able on Nematode Resistant Root Stock. $.10 

 extra per tree. See Page 20. 



GAGE ELBERTA (i3b) 



MR. PLANTER: Don't pass up Gage, it 

 has everything a peach should have — size, 

 quality and beauty. 



A Disease Resistant Bud Sport of the 

 Famous Elberta Peach, Which We Recom- 

 mend Highly. 



Recommended for resistance to bacterium pruni. 

 The tree grows as thrifty as the Elberta and 

 looks much like the old time Elberta. Gage El- 

 berta blooms from two to four days after Elberta and 

 apparently has a very strong blossom setting a crop of 

 fruit under unfavorable conditions. The fruit is so near 

 like the Elberta that only an expert can distinguish the 

 difference. Ripens two to three days later than Elberta. 



This variety is proving well adapted to Southern con- 

 ditions in the trial planting at Columbia and Clemson, 

 South Carolina and is to be preferred over the Elberta 

 in many respects. 



THE BRACKETT PEACH <i3<=> 



ONE OF THE BEST VARIETIES TO FOLl-OW 

 EEBERTA AND IT IS PROVING A GREAT COM- 

 MERCIAL PEACH. 



This is a comparatively new variety in some sections, 

 but has been tried and proven one of 'the most profitable 

 peaches in tjie South and Central areas. Its season 

 is about five days after Elberta, with a Ibeautiful 

 orange-yellow skin tinged with carmine. Flesh is a 

 deep yellow and much lighter flavored than Elberta. 

 This peach sizes up well under heavy crops and is equal 

 to Elberta as a shipper. A perfect freestone and a 

 real peach. 



Introduced by us in 1925, 

 originating on Hope Farm, 

 Bergen County, Noav Jersey, home of the late Mr. 

 Collingwood, editor of Rural New Yorker, farm paper. 

 A large, white-fleshed freestone peach of superior 

 quality. Follows Elberta about five days in ripening. 

 Partially self-fertile. Extremely hardy in bud. Pro- 

 ving a favorite and filling a need for a good white 

 peach to follow Belle of Georgia. 



Gemmers Late Elberta (15) 



RINGS THE BELL — A WINNER 



Now fruiting over a wide area, growers every- 

 where marvel at its fruiting ability, size, beauty 

 and quality. 



Bealutiful color, large size, excellent quality, fine 

 shipping and keeping ability combine in GEM- 

 MERS LATE ELBERTA to make it one of the 

 most promising varieties we have ever observed 

 to follow the Elberta season. Gemmers Late El- 

 berta has what it takes to become a leader of its 

 season. 



HOPE FARM <i4) 



GEMMERS EATE EEBERTA 



It is a typical Elberta in fruit and tree characteristics. 

 It ripens 8 to 12 days after Elberta, just following 

 Shippers Late Red and before Lizzie and Salberta. 

 There is a place here for a good Elberta type peach and 

 we believe Gemmers Late Elberta will fill it. N. .1. 

 Experiment Station has grown Gemmers for several 

 years and seems favorably impressed with its perform- 

 ance at New Brunswick. Fruits are very uniform, large, 

 well covered with a brilliant red on an attractive golden 

 yellow, almost fuzzless, having a smooth tough slvin. 

 Flesh very firm, being slightly tinged with red about 

 the pit but red does not extend into the golden yellow 

 fiesh. Originating at Sussex, N. J., well up in the 

 Mountains where many varieties of peaches fail to 

 stand the climatic conditions should recommend GEM- 

 MERS as a hardy variety both in tree and bud. WE 

 RECOMMEND "GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA" FOR 

 TRIAL IN ALL PEACH SECTIONS WHERE YOU 

 WISH TO CONTINUE THE ELBERTA SEASON WITH 

 A REAL PEACH.

 able on Nematode Resistant Root Stock. $.10 extra per 

 tree. See Page 20. 



LIZZIE (i«) 



SIZE — FIRMNESS — FINE COEOR — EXCELLENT 



QUALITY COMBINE TO MAKE THIS PEACH A 

 FAVORITE TO FOLLOW GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA 



The origin of this peach has not been fully determined 

 yet it has been very successfully grown by commercial 

 orchardists in N. J., Conn., and in several Southern 

 states. It is a distinct Elberta type peach, very large, 

 freestone, having a fine yellow flesh and the peach ripens 

 slowly after being taken off the tree. It ripens from 12 

 to 16 days after Elberta, colors well with a handsome 

 red over a deep yellow undertone. The tree is thrifty, 

 hardy, heavy bearer of regular crops. Some growers 

 consider it the best of our preaent list of real late 

 peaches. 



Mr. John Lankford, near Mappsville, Va., is proud of 

 liis youngr peach orchards These are Bountiful Ridge 

 Grown trees and produced nearly 1 gallon of peaches 

 to the tree in tlieir second growing season. Bountiful 

 Ridge trees are famous for growth and production. 



Note the fine field of Strawberries Mr. Lankford is 

 growing between his young peach trees, a fine example 

 of diversified fruit growing.
