BERLIN, MARYLAND, U. S. A. 33 


Belle of Georgia is one of the best white Peaches grown. 150 ten-year-old 
trees of this variety in our Berlin Orchards produced this season 800 six-gallon 
carriers of fruit which sold at $3.50 per carrier in Boston. 
Belle (Bette of Georgia) 
Ripens early in August. Color creamy white, with red cheek. 
Flesh is white with some red near the pit. Size large. Freestone 
Belle, for some time, has been recognized as the best all-around 
white peach on the market. It is easily the best shipping white peach 
of its season, ranking almost with Elberta in this respect. Because 
of its many desirable qualities it has become standard in the large 
commercial orchards, and you can find few growers of any importance 
who do not have a good block of Belle in their orchards. These men 
know from experience just what trees pay best. 
BELLE PROSPERS NORTH AND SOUTH 
Few peaches are as well adapted to different conditions as Belle. 
Although it originated in the South, and still produces large crops for 
many southern orchardists, it has been equally successful in the 
north. It is, we believe, the best white peach for its time of ripening, 
and we strongly recommend it as a profitable variety. 
It comes upon the market shortly after Hiley has started to drop 
off, and will keep your pickers busy without a break. 
The tree is a strong grower with an open top; very vigorous. Bears 
heavy crops in three or four years. 
GOOD FOR HOME PLANTING 
Unlike some varieties of peaches, which are desirable more because 
of their shipping qualities than of their taste, Belle will be found ex- 
cellent for home use. As it brings better prices in the large markets 
because of its size, appearance, and taste, you will appreciate those 
qualities in your home. 
If you grow peaches for market purposes, or if you wish several 
peach trees in the garden plot near your home, you will find Belle 
probably the best peach for the purpose. To the commercial grower 
it offers a white peach maturing before Elberta, which ships well, 
and brings good prices. To the man with a home it means big, lus- 
cious, white peaches—peaches you can be proud to show your neigh- 
bors. There's one best argument for the Belle—eat one, and you'll 
know immediately what it is.
