EARLY ELBERTA. 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 all peaches and the greatest 

 commercial variety on the market; 50 percent of peaches 

 planted are Elbertas. In all probability no peach will 

 succeed over so wide a range of territory as this kind. 

 It will thrive where any peach can be grown. High 

 colored yellow freestone. 



J. H. 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 exception- 

 ally valuable as a commercial peach, owing to its un- 

 usual 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. Your col- 

 lection is incomplete without it. Note — The J. H. Hale 

 does not have an entirely perfect bloom, and to get best 

 results it should be planted with some other variety. 



SHIPPERS' It ATE BED. A comparative new peach; ex- 

 tremely hardy. Large, very highly colored to attractive 

 red. Yellow fleshed, freestone and good quality. Ripen- 

 ing just after Elberta and Hale. Can be recommended 

 to follow Elberta season. Our buds for this variety cut 

 from bearing orchards at Paw-Paw, W. Va. 



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 

 season is about five days after Elberta, with a beautiful 

 orange-yellow skin tinged with carmine. Flesh is a deep 

 yellow and much higher flavored than Elberta. This 

 peach sizes up well under heavy crops and is equal to 

 Elberta as a shipper. A perfect freestone. 



MEDIUM LATE VARIETIES 



ROBERTA. A new variety that is becoming justly pop- 

 ular. Very similar to Elberta in all respects except its 

 season, which is a week^to ten days later. The Roberta 

 is an excellent variety to plant to lengthen the Elberta 

 season. 



WILMA. A large, late, yellow freestone peach similar to 

 Elberta in shape, size, color and quality, ripening about 

 two weeks later than Elberta. Tree hardy and thrifty. 



SALBERTA. A large, late, yellow freestone peach of dis- 

 tinct Elberta type with good color and quality. Very 

 similar to Roberta, only ripens a little later. Can be 

 recommended to extend the Elberta season. 



HEATH CLING- (Cling 1 ). Very large, creamy-white, with 

 delicate red blush; flesh white, slightly red at the pit; 

 tender, juicy and sweet; a valuable sort for canning 

 and one that commands fancy prices in all markets. 



EARLY ELBERTA 



CRAWFORD'S LATE (Free). Large, roundish- 

 oval, yellow with broad red cheeks; flesh 

 yellow with red at pit; melting vinous and 

 very good. 



VERY LATE VARIETIES 



IRON MOUNTAIN. Free, white. Size enor- 

 mous, egg-shaped; color pure white, with 

 slight blush; good quality; good keeper; 

 very regular bearer. 



SALWAY (Free). Large, roundish, deep yel- 

 low with rich red cheeks; flesh yellow, firm 

 and juicy and sugary; trees are strong 

 growers and bear plentiful crops. A late 

 market sort. 



KRUMMER'S OCTOBER. A magnificent peach; 

 the most prolific and best late yellow free- 

 stone, which ripens about two weeks after 

 Salway, or four weeks after Elberta. Large, 

 almost round, deep yellow with a dark car- 

 mine blush; very firm, fine texture. 



Are You Buying for Price Alone? 



We know many people are going to be inclined to buy their nursery stock this year where they can get it the cheapest. 

 This is one of the greatest mistakes any planter can make, for the saving which he thinks he is making may prove very 

 costly to him when the trees or plants come into fruiting. Don't think that all nurserymen are rich and are not being 

 pressed for money just like everyone else is, and this year there will be an inclination by some nurseries to cut prices 

 lower than ever, pursuing every course possible to get an order, making misleading statements about their products, giving 

 inferior grades to meet these low prices they will make, and in general not have their goods up to any standard. It takes 

 years to produce good nursery stock and it takes care and money to give it to you in good condition, and this is the year 

 YOU SHOULD BUY FROM THE RELIABLE NURSERY THAT YOU KNOW WILL BE BACK TO SERVE YOU NEXT 

 YEAR AND THE YEARS TO FOLLOW, EVEN THOUGH THEIR PRICES MAY BE A FEW CENTS A TREE HIGHER 

 THAN YOU CAN GET THE TREES FOR FROM SOME OTHER NURSERY. Don't try to beat the nurseryman down in 

 price all the time. He has to live just as you do, and when you force his prices too low the man who buys the stock is 

 the one who is going to suffer, even though he may not know it for a few years. PRICES CAN BE TOO HIGH AND 

 THEY CAN BE TOO LOW, AND WHEN YOU KEEP ASKING FOR CHEAPER STOCK YOU ARE ENCOURAGING THE 

 NURSERYMEN TO CHEAPEN THE QUALITY OF THEIR PLANTS, AND A POOR TREE OR PLANT IS THE MOST 

 EXPENSIVE THING A PLANTER CAN BUY IN THE LONG RUN. The Bountiful Ridge Nurseries are so located to 

 have every natural advantage possible to produce good nursery stock at a minimum price, and WE HAVE AND WILL 

 STICK TO THE POLICY OF DELIVERING HIGH-GRADE TREES AND PLANTS, GROWN AND GRADED TO GIVE 

 SATISFACTION WHEN THEY ARE PLANTED AND WHEN THEY FRUIT FOR YOU, AND WE HAVE MADE OUR 

 PRICES AS LOW AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THEM AND STILL DELIVER YOU GOOD STOCK. HIGHER 

 PRICED TREES AND PLANTS CANNOT BE BETTER. LOWER PRICED TREES AND PLANTS MUST BE INFERIOR 

 IN SOME WAY. We are dealing direct with the planters, giving them the advantage of every saving we are able to make 

 without sacrificing the quality of our products, and now we want you to consider giving us your order for what trees and 

 plants you expect to plant this year. DON'T BUY FOR PRICE ALONE. Consider the quality of the trees and plants 

 you are buying and the nursery you are dealing with, and don't encourage the nurseryman to produce inferior stock
