Non! Exctutwe! 11©) OSO GEM 
The World's Largest Peach 
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 percentage of bright red color is decidedly more than most other va- 
rieties. When Rio-Oso-Gem is ready to pick and ship it has practically 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 O. 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 ex- 
tremely large size, averaging in diameter from 234 to 334 inches, deep yellow flesh, very 
fine grain, firm texture, with very excellent flavor, being rich, 
sweet and slightly spicy. The coloring is unique, being “a beau- 
tiful dark crimson-red, running out to lighter crimson and into a 
rich mottle of crimson over the orange-yellow ground color. It 
is a good transcontinental shipper.

TWO WEEKS LATER THAN ELBERTA 
The Rio-Oso-Gem would be a Peach of 
commercial importance when ripening at 
any time during the Peach season, but it 
is very fortunate that it ripens two weeks 
later than Elberta, which puts it at a time 
when there is no other variety of commercial impor- 
ance as a competitor, and fills a long looked-for gap 
in commercial production, ripening when the markets 
are clamoring for Peaches—this variety has sold at 
very much higher prices than Elberta and J. H. Hale. 
To prolong your Peach shipping season, we highly rec- 
ommend to you planting the Rio-Oso-Gem. Harrisons’ 
have planted twelve thousand Rio-Oso-Gem in their 
own famous orchards. We have the utmost faith in 
the Rio-Oso-Gem, and we will also make future plant- 
ings of this remarkable Peach. 
There is a brilliant future in store for the progres- 
sive orchardist who plants Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees.
