  We 
  Endorse 
  and 
  Recommend 
  This 
  Great 
  Peach 
  

   To 
  Growers 
  in 
  All

  Where

  We 
  know 
  of 
  no 
  Peach 
  of 
  recent 
  introduction 
  that 
  is 
  

   proving 
  so 
  universally 
  satisfactory 
  as 
  the 
  Halehaven. 
  

   It 
  has 
  proved 
  an 
  unchallenged 
  leader 
  of 
  peaches 
  to 
  fol- 
  

   low 
  the 
  Golden 
  Jubilee, 
  Colora, 
  Vedette. 
  The 
  tree 
  is 
  

   a 
  strong 
  thrifty 
  grower, 
  resistant 
  to 
  common 
  peach 
  dis- 
  

   eases, 
  the 
  fruit 
  is 
  large, 
  oval 
  shaped 
  like 
  a 
  well 
  grown 
  

   J. 
  H. 
  Hale, 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  good 
  tough 
  skin, 
  the 
  flesh 
  of 
  the 
  

   peach 
  being 
  of 
  such 
  texture 
  that 
  it 
  will 
  not 
  bruise 
  easily 
  

   and 
  best 
  of 
  all 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  beautiful, 
  handsome 
  red 
  color 
  

   that 
  at 
  once 
  attracts 
  the 
  buyer 
  and 
  a 
  flavor 
  that 
  is 
  as 
  

   good 
  as 
  the 
  very 
  best. 
  The 
  Halehaven 
  is 
  a 
  product 
  of 
  

   South 
  Haven 
  Experimental 
  Station, 
  in 
  Michigan. 
  Note 
  

   the 
  success 
  of 
  this 
  variety 
  in 
  test 
  plantings 
  in 
  the 
  

   South. 
  The 
  South 
  can 
  now 
  grow 
  a 
  large 
  yellow 
  peach 
  

   in 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  Hiley 
  that 
  will 
  bring 
  much 
  higher 
  

   prices 
  on 
  the 
  markets. 
  Wherever 
  you 
  are 
  located 
  you 
  

   cannot 
  go 
  wrong 
  by 
  planting 
  liberally 
  of 
  the 
  Hale-

  excellent 
  

   peach. 
  The 
  tree 
  is 
  very 
  thrifty 
  and 
  productive. 
  The 
  

   peach 
  is 
  of 
  Elberta 
  type, 
  ripening 
  from 
  12 
  to 
  10 
  days 
  

   before 
  Elberta. 
  While 
  not 
  as 
  good 
  a 
  shipper 
  as 
  Elberta 
  

   we 
  believe 
  it 
  will 
  carry 
  satisfactory 
  to 
  markets 
  within 
  

   a 
  radius 
  of 
  700

  over

  A 
  YELLOW 
  FLESHED 
  SEEDLING 
  OF 
  THE 
  

   FAMOUS 
  HILEY 
  

  

  Developed 
  by 
  the 
  U.S.D.A. 
  at 
  Ft. 
  Valley, 
  Ga., 
  as 
  

   an 
  open 
  pollenated 
  seedling 
  of 
  Hiley. 
  Tree 
  has 
  many 
  

   characteristics 
  of 
  the 
  parent, 
  being 
  very 
  vigorous 
  in 
  

   growth 
  habits 
  and 
  so 
  far 
  has 
  been 
  resistant 
  to 
  bacteri- 
  

   osis. 
  Requires 
  very 
  short 
  rest 
  period. 
  Flowers 
  self- 
  

   fertile. 
  Fruit 
  averages 
  larger 
  than 
  Hiley, 
  is 
  a 
  freestone 
  

   and 
  ripens 
  4 
  to 
  5 
  days 
  earlier 
  than 
  Hiley. 
  The 
  flesh 
  has 
  

   fair 
  to 
  good 
  quality, 
  medium 
  firmness 
  and 
  good 
  texture. 
  

   It 
  colors 
  a 
  deep 
  lemon 
  yellow 
  overlaid 
  with 
  a 
  blush 
  of 
  

   red 
  on 
  one 
  side. 
  The 
  relative 
  low 
  demand 
  for 
  winter

  makes 
  DIXIGOLD 
  very 
  desirable 
  for 
  southern

  Slappy

  we 
  consider 
  superior 
  to 
  the 
  orig- 
  

   inal 
  Slappy 
  variety. 
  The 
  peach 
  seeems 
  to 
  average

  much 
  higher 
  colored, 
  and 
  the

  seems

   ous, 
  otherwise 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  typical 
  Slappy 
  in 
  every

  The 
  

   Slappy 
  is 
  a 
  yellow 
  freestone 
  peach 
  of 
  very 
  good 
  quality, 
  

   ripening 
  about 
  the

  VALIANT 
  <u>» 
  

  

  One 
  of 
  the 
  so-called 
  V 
  varieties 
  introduced 
  by 
  the 
  

   Vineland 
  Experimental 
  Station, 
  Vineland, 
  Ontario, 
  Can- 
  

   ada. 
  The 
  Valiant 
  is 
  a 
  seedling 
  of 
  Elberta 
  and 
  as 
  it 
  

   comes 
  into 
  fruiting 
  over 
  a 
  wide 
  area 
  it 
  is 
  proving 
  its 
  

   right 
  to 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  our 
  peach 
  planting 
  program. 
  It 
  is 
  

   possibly 
  the 
  largest 
  of 
  the 
  V 
  varieties, 
  globular 
  in 
  

   shape 
  and 
  very 
  attractively 
  colored 
  with 
  bright 
  red 
  

   over 
  a 
  rich 
  yellow. 
  It 
  has 
  exceptional 
  quality 
  and 
  holds 
  

   up 
  well 
  in 
  shipping 
  to 
  not 
  too 
  distant 
  markets. 
  It 
  

   ripens 
  just 
  after 
  the 
  Vedette 
  and 
  about 
  with 
  the 
  Hale- 
  

   haven. 
  being 
  very 
  similar 
  in 
  shape 
  to 
  the 
  Halehaven, 
  

   the 
  distinguishing 
  factor 
  being 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  apex 
  

   end. 
  The 
  tree 
  and 
  fruit 
  is 
  more 
  subject 
  to 
  fungus 
  dis- 
  

   eases 
  than 
  the 
  Vedette 
  and 
  we 
  do 
  not 
  recommend 
  the 
  

   Valiant 
  for 
  far 
  southern 
  planting 
  where 
  hot, 
  humid 
  

   atmospheric 
  conditions 
  exist. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  close 
  rival 
  of 
  the 
  

   Halehaven 
  in 
  the 
  central 
  and 
  northern 
  districts 
  and 
  

   is 
  preferred 
  by 
  some 
  growers. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  very 
  har- 
  

   dy 
  and 
  productive. 
  We 
  can 
  surely 
  recommend 
  the 
  Val- 
  

   iant 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  better 
  peaches 
  to 
  precede 
  the 
  Elberta 
  

   season.
