YELLOW FREESTONE 



The World's Greatest Peach 



The sensational Peach which has caused the greatest amount 

 of favorable reports of any Peach introduced in a half century 

 is that marvelous, big Peach, the World's largest, being a pat- 

 ented variety, the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84. 

 It has now been fruited in all Peach-growing districts in the 

 United States and Canada, and has definitely proven itself to 

 be the best all-around commercial Peach. Ask any man who 

 has grown the Rio-Oso-Gem. 



THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIFIED PEACH 



This beautiful Peach has a brilliant, bright red color, running 

 around 95% good red, whereas they are easy to pack as U. S. 

 Fancy grade. The size of the Peach is all that anyone can 

 expect, as many of these Peaches will run a pound or more 

 in weight and in many instances have been reported that the 

 crop would average three-quarters pound per Peach. The flam- 

 ing, beautiful bright red color in the cheek, along with an 

 attractive orange-colored background, has earned it an envious 

 reputation as being the prettiest Peach grown. 



BEST FLAVORED COMMERCIAL PEACH 



The unexcelled flavor is better than that of J. H. Hale and 

 Elberta. The enticing flavor makes it a very popular Peach 

 for fresh eating. The rich flavor is retained when canned or 

 preserved. Now recognized as the leading canning Peach in 

 California. Rio-Oso-Gem is the only Peach which can be pro- 

 cessed by quick freezing and still retain its firm texture, with 

 its beautiful, rich, golden yellow flesh and the same flavor as 

 when picked. We have quick frozen Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 

 which were picked and processed on September 1, 1944, which 

 are still holding up in excellent condition. 



RECORD BREAKER FOR LONG DISTANCE 

 SHIPMENTS 



The Rio Oso Gem is the best of all Peaches for long distance 

 shipments and the fruit will stand up longer after being picked 

 than any other variety of Peach in existence. This stupendous 

 variety adapts itself exceedingly well for shipments in refrig- 

 erator cars Dre-cooled, under standard refrigeration for trans- 

 continental hauls. This is the greatest Peach for shipments on 

 trucks under ventilation, as its hard, firm texture insures ar- 

 rival in excellent condition.

RIO-OSO-GEM 



IDEAL FOR HOME ORCHARDS

 Elberta. Rio-Oso-Gem is a very prolific 

 bearer and dependable annual cropper. 



RIO-OSO-GEM IS NO EXPERIMENT 



Colonel and Mrs. Frank Sleeter, Round Hill, 

 Virginia, wrote, "We have the land ready for 

 the 800 Rio-Oso-Gem peach trees, 5 to 6 feet 

 for April, 1950 planting. It is a wonderful 

 peach and we have had marvelous results 

 marketing it last year at $6.00 per bushel, in 

 spite of thejow market price prevailing during 

 the summer of 1949."

PROLIFIC BEARER— RIO-OSO-GEM PEACH 



READ WHAT FELLOW GROWERS SAY 



We have received several hundred complimentary letters highly praising the Rio-Oso-Gem 

 Peach, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, from all over the United States, some of the typical remarks 

 are from people such as Fussell-Graham-Alderson Company, Forest City, Arkansas: "We have 

 about 1,000 of Harrisons' Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees from which we have been harvesting the 

 largest and prettiest Peaches I ever saw. We sold our Elberta Peaches, U. S. No. I grade at 

 $2.25 per bushel and we had no trouble in picking the Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 2 '/4 inches and 

 up which we sold at $4.00 per bushel, f. o. b. Forest City. Arkansas." 



Mr. H. Frank Smith, Prop. Hillcrest Orchard, Dover, Arkansas, writes: "This year's crop con- 

 vinces me that the Rio-Oso-Gem. U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, is the very finest Peach and has 

 certainly proven such with me. It has very fine qualities as a canner and people go wild about 

 it. It always brings the highest prices for me." 



Mr. Charles Heilig, Sewell, New jersey, Gloucester County, said that the most handsome and 

 the best Peach of the forty years' experience that he has had was his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem 

 on 400 trees, three years old, from which he picked during early September 324 bushels and 

 which he sold at an average price of $5.00 per bushel at his farm, grossing him more than 

 $1,600.00 fr6m this very young orchard. He bought 620 Rio-Oso-Gem trees for planting November, 

 and said his future plantings would be Rio-Oso-Gem 



AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS PEACH 



Mr. E. R. Connor, fruit grower and broker, of Stephen City, Virginia, in the famous Frederick 

 County fruit section, was exceptionally well pleased with his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 

 on his three-year-old trees which he picked during early September. From his 400 trees, three 

 years old, he picked o 300-bushel crop for which he was offered $3.75 per bushel, f. o. b. Ste- 

 phen City, Virginia, for the entire crop, but he refused the sale so that he could sell the Peaches 

 in smaller quantities at high prices to his customers throughout the Shenandoah Valley of Vir- 

 ginia and nearby cities. He planted 100 more trees two years ago which had a few Peaches on 

 them this summer. Connor states he wishes he had 5,000 Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees U S. Plant 

 Patent No. 84, plnnted in his Orchard instead of 500 



RIO-OSO-GEM IS A "MUST" FOR EVERY GROWER 



There are still big cash profits in Peaches, provided you grow the right varieties and in the 

 near future you will see where the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, will be getting more 

 prominence each year. It is predicted that within a decade or so, it will be the most extensively 

 planted commercial Peach in America.
