RIO-OSO-GEM 



An amazing feature of the Rio-Oso-Gem is, it will take on a 

 good bright red color and yellow background two weeks before 

 ripening, and even ten days before actual ripening time the per- 

 centage of bright red color is decidedly more than most other 

 varieties. When Rio-Oso-Gem is ready to pick and ship it has prac- 

 tically a solid red color. There is no other Peach known that carries 

 such a high percentage of red color on the fruit as this marvelous 

 Rio-Oso-Gem. 



EXPERT FRUIT GROWERS SAY 0. K. 



Rio-Oso-Gem has now fruited in practically every Peach district 

 of the Union. Veteran Peach growers of the nation are loud in 

 their praise of this startling variety. Rio-Oso-Gem has passed the 

 experimental stage and proven an outstanding commercial variety 

 superseding the famous Elberta of the Victorian era. 



BIGGEST PEACH ON EARTH 



The Rio-Oso-Gem is a perfect freestone, form is globular, slightly 

 elongated, of extremely large size, averaging in diameter from 2% 

 to 3% inches, deep yellow flesh, very fine grain, firm texture, with 

 very excellent flavor, being rich, juicy, sweet and slightly spicy. The 

 coloring is unique, being a beautiful dark 

 crim.son-red, running out to lighter cr-imson and 

 into a rich mottle of crimson over the orange- 

 yellow ground color. It is a good transconti- 

 nental shipper.

TWO WEEKS LATER THAN ELBERTA 



The Rio-Oso-Gem would be a Peach of com- 

 mercial importance when ripening at any time 

 during the Peach season, but it is very for- 

 tunate that it ripens two weeks later than 

 Elberta, which puts it at a time when there is 

 no other variety of commercial importance as 

 a competitor, and fills a long looked-for gap 

 in commercial production, ripening when the 

 markets are clamoring for Peaches — this va- 

 riety has sold Q\ very much higher prices than 

 Elberta and J. H. Hale. To prolong your Peach 

 shipping season, we highly recommend to you 

 planting the Rio-Oso-Gem. Harrisons' have 

 planted several thousand Rio-Oso-Gem in their 

 own famous orchards. We have the utmost 

 faith in the Rio-Oso-Gem, and we will also

 in store for the progressive 

 orchordist who 

 plants Rio-Oso- 

 Gem Peach trees.
