 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.

THE PEACH WITH A PEDIGREE 



The World's Greatest Money-Making Peach 



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 highly 

 colored. The skin is tough and the flesh, 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 o0% 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- 

 CIAL PEACH. We are propagating our Elberta trees from 

 selected orchards of great bearing records and to the old 

 original type Elberta. 



T H HuIF (lib) A description will hardly do jus- 

 J. n. n/VLE. Viiu ' 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.
