36 HARRISONS’ NURSERIES 

Brackett. 
Ripens after Elberta. Orange-yellow skin, tinged with carmine. Flesh 
is deep yellow, highly flavored. Size is large to very large. Freestone 
Some years ago a well-known nursery firm of Georgia discovered 
a new variety of peach possessing certain points of quality and high 
fruiting capacity that made it more than usually desirable. 
Not only was this new variety tested by the discoverers, but trees 
were sent to fruit-growers in other parts of the country, with a request 
that the newcomer be carefully tested and accurate records kept of 
its performances. When the reports came in they indicated that the 
new peach was even better than expected, and the firm felt justified 
in introducing this new variety under the name of “Brackett.” 
The American Pomological Society set its stamp of approval on 
the Brackett and entered the name on the records of the Society. 
Most northern nurserymen failed to sense the value of this new va- 
riety, but a thorough trial in our orchards convinced us that the 
Brackett is worthy of general pianting. 
BRACKETT A THREE-POINT WINNER—IN COLOR, IN 
SIZE, IN QUALITY 
Brackett ripens in our big commercial orchards a few days after 
Elberta. The fruit is rich yellow, with dark carmine cheek. The size 
runs fully as large or larger than Elberta, and fruits weighing 5 to 6 
ounces are common. Flesh is deep yellow, extremely juicy, and is 
absolutely freestone. In every case the Brackett has proved the equal 
of Elberta, and in many cases the Georgia growers consider it a more 
profitable sort. One southern peach-grower claims that Brackett 
averages 50 cents a bushel higher than other varieties. 
We have a limited stock of trees which have been grown with ex- 
treme care. This block of Brackett was propagated from buds cut in 
our own bearing orchards, therefore we know the trees are absolutely 
true to name. The commercial grower or the home orchardist who 
plants the Brackett will make no mistake either from the stand- 
points of production or profit.
