 STONE PEACH, RIPENING AT RED BIRD SEASON." 



Let the consumer eat LARGE, HANDSOME, FREESTONE poac-hcs 

 ol' unsurpassed quality at the beginninj; of youi- I'each season by plantinj; 

 and growing ERLY-RED-FRE. 



The "ERLY-RED-FRE" orisinatiMl as a chance seedliiifr in the orchard of 

 Wm. Perrv near Chase City, \a. Apparently the "ERIA -Ri:i>-ERE" is tlie 

 results ot the planting ot a Red Hird I'each Seed planted tall of 1!)2S. Oiu- 

 attention was first called to this splendid peach in l!)3o and we instructed Mr. 

 I'erry to bud the variety off to see whether it would produce true to type in 

 succeeding generations. The secon.d generation trees bore in VXXl at 2 years of 

 age, the truits on these being identical with those on the Parent tree. The orig- 

 inal tree and second generation trees both bore a heavy crop in 1!)38. it being 

 necessary to thin the fruit on all trees. These same trees repeated in l!):i!l. hav- 

 ing a normal crop on them which was thiniu'd lightly, when other varieties in 

 the same orchard were killed out almost entirely witli late frosts. We have nev- 

 er in all our observations of peaches known of an early peach having so many 

 good characteristics which are so outstanding. 'I'he fruit horn<' in 1'.):{'.I being 

 the finest specimens we have yet seen of the variety. The tree blooms medium 

 early, the blossoms being medium open type, pink and self-polinating. We picked 

 the first fruits of 1938 crop June 11th, the main crop being harvested between 

 .Tune 14tli and 20tli. The first peaches were picked from the trees .luin' '-'t)th in 

 1939 croji, all peaches being picked from the trees bj- .lune iSth. the ripening 

 season being just a little later due to seasonal conditions and fertilization meth- 

 ods followed in 1939. The first fruits each year were picked with the first fruits 

 of the Red Bird variety and continued on thru the Red Bird and the beginning 

 of the Greensboro season. The fruit is very highly colored witli an attractive 

 bright red on a creamy white background. The skin is tough and medium thick. 

 The flesh of the peach is of such texture that it does not show bruises through 

 the skin for several davs after being bruised and is a clear white through to the 

 pit. We believe this peach has one of the smallest pits of any cultivated peach 

 we know of in existence. 



Specimen peaches we have sent out by Express and P. P. have carried uii to 

 1000 miles in perfect condition and remained edible for several days after arrival. 

 We have actiJally kept tree ripened peaches for 12 days after picking witliont 

 any refrigeration. The peach shows unusual finality, being equal to a tree 

 ripened Belle of Georgia. The peach resembles the Hiley Belle in shape when 

 ready to pick. The fruit averages large for an early peach, some specimens 

 weighing 12 ounces and the entire crop under normal conditions and care can 

 be packed out 2%" and up if desired. The tree is very vigorous. resistaiU to 

 Bacteriosis. bears while very young and is very productive. The season of 1938 

 was abnormally wet and the Erly-Red-Fre proved very resistant to Brown 

 rot; Red Bird in the same orchard under same care being almost a total loss. 

 The 1939 season was abnormally dry prior to harvest time and again the peach- 

 es held up well and sized up, so it would seem that the peach will adjust itself 

 to seasonal conditions and" give results beyond that of most Early peaches. 

 This peach originating in the temperate regions should adapt itself to most all 

 peach producing areas North, South and West. It should prove one of the best 

 Itionev making peaches ever offered Southern Peach growers, because it is de- 

 flniteiv the FIRST RIPENING FREESTONE PEACH NOW IN CULTIVATION 

 TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, FOLLOWING CLOSELY THE MAYFLOWER AND 

 PRECEDING THE GOLDEN JUBILEE SEVERAL WEEKS. 



The following are the prices as established on the Erly-Red-Fre variety of 

 peach tree for delivery during the fall of 1939 and spring of 1940. These prices 

 are subject to our usual discount of 5% and free delivery of stock on all orders 

 of SyO.oi) or more within a radius of five hundred miles of our nursery.

Ste|i I p Your Yellow Peach Season By Planting 



Fisher Peach Trees This Year. 



The FISHER peach was discovered as a l)Ud sport of tlie \'.\I,I.\\T in 

 August 1934 iK'ar Queenstown, Ontario. Canada. Mr. Fisher found tliese large 

 well formed peaches growing on a single limb of a Valiant tree in his orchard, 

 being attra<led to the [leach from the fact that it was ripening fully 3 weeks 

 before the Valiant peaclies on the rest of the tree. Realizing the cOmmercial 

 possibilities ol a jieach of tliis type and season. .Mr. I'isher's next concern was 

 whether the fruit would carry throngh to succeeding generations. To test it as 

 quickly as possible he top worked a two year old Valiant tree with VI buds 

 from the Sport limli the first week in September, 1934. The I'arcnt limb again 

 bore a heavy crop in 193.J and the peaches developed as thev did in 19.34. THE 

 PEACH WAS MEDIUM TO LARGE. YELLOW FLESHED AND A FREE- 

 STONE. THE PEACH HAS A DABK RED BLCSU COVERING NEARLY 

 HALF OF THE PEACH; EXCELLENT FLAVOR, FINE GRAINED FLESH 

 SHOWING NO RED ABOUT THE PIT. Tlie Parent limb repeated with a line 

 crop in 1930 and the top worked tre(> set a crop wliicli recjuired thinning, the 

 remaining peaclies on the top worked tree developed exactly as those on the 

 Parent Limb. HERE W.4S .V I'E.VCH OF FINE QU.ALITV. .A YELLOW 

 FREE.STONE PE.4CH. In 1937 Jlr. Geo. W. Kemp and Mr. Homer Kemp of our 

 nursery journeyed to Canada to see this peach. The original limb as well as 

 the top worked tree had a fine crop and on August 12, 1937 we photographed 

 the peach in colors with our moving picture e<|nipment. AVe also photographed 

 the Marigold, Oriole and Golden Jubilee in the same orchard so as to give the 

 comparative season of them. 



Jlr. Geo. W. and Homer Kemp again went to Canada in 1938 to observe the 

 FISHER PEACH on the original tree and second and third generation trees all 

 of which came through again witli a fine crop in 1938. Our first opinions of the 

 peach were further confirmed. More color )ihotograi)hs were taken of the peach- 

 es as they were on the tree. ..THE BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES H.WE 

 ENTERED INTO .\ GROWING .AND DISTRIBUTION CONTR.VCT WITH >IR.
