EARLY ELBERTA. The fastest selling peach on the 
market, ripening about ten days to two weeks ahead of 
Elberta. It is a yellow freestone, handsomely colored with 
tough skin to protect such delicious flesh, second to none 
in sweetness, and very juicy. Early Elberta being such an 
extra fancy beautiful peach demands top prices just before 
the Elberta season. Plant this variety without delay for 
early and handsome profits. Buds are hardier than Elberta.

introduced for the 
fruit grower. This grand old variety still reigns supreme 
on the peach market, demanding the top prices always.

beautifully colored, bright yellow with brilliant red on 
the sunny side. Growers do not have any trouble in sell- 
ing their Elberta peaches due to their attractive appear-

bearing orchards plus their bud selection from carefully

year; see the vast difference in TOWNSENDS’ CERTI-
