DISCOVERY OF THE HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT 



This sensational new peach was discovered by Mr. Oscar F. |ones, near 

 Crozet. Virginia In the famous mountainous Alb«marie County section. He was 

 manager for more than 30 years for the A. C. Bruce orchards, who planted 

 many thousands of Harrison grown peach trees, starting in 1902. A life long 

 horticulturist, he is a pioneer in one of the largest peach growing districts of 

 the United States. 



WHAT PROMINENT CROWERS SAYi 



Mr. C. Purcell McCue, Greenwood, Virginia — "Personally, I feel this peach 

 .-.ill replace ELBERTA in this section." 



Mr. C. E. Starkweather, Crozet, Virginia — "It beors larger, better colored 

 peoches even with a heavier crop than the Elbertas do." 



Mr. Lee T. Carpenter, Louiso, Virginia — "If it proves out in tests as good 

 as it is in its original hobitat I consider it to be the greatest find since Elberta 

 in the 1870's." 



Nminger Orchards, Roanoke, Virginia — "The parent tree of this peach is the 

 largest and the most prolific I ever saw and when it is loaded with those large, 

 uniform fruit, one hundred per cent colored it is a sight to be remembered." 



Mr. Edward D. Dcugherty, Crozet, Virginia — "I know something of the 

 HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT and consider it a very unusual variety which will 

 soon reploce Elberta if properly distributed and advertised." 



Mr. H. P. Rhodes, Winchester, Virginia — "The 500 Hale Harrison Brilliant 

 peach trees I got from you and planted during November of 1949, that 498 

 are growing and have made a tremendous growth with dark green, healthy 

 leaves ond sturdy limbs. I wos over to Crozet this summer and got three bushels 

 of this amazing peacn from Mr. Oscar Jones, they were off of the parent (16 

 years old) tree, which had probably twenty bushels which he sold off the tree 

 for S4.50 per bushel. They were the most perfect example of a very large, 

 delicious firm peach I hove ever seen. Will eventually replace Elberta. I want 

 to plant another block, as I believe and oil of the fruit men of Winchester, 

 Virginia agree with me, that this peoch is the answer to a fruit grower's prayer 



Several hundred half-bushel cell type paper cartons of HALE HARRISON 

 BRILLIANT peaches grown in Northern Virgmio were shipped during August 

 1955 from New York City by steam-ship under refngerotion to Buenos Aires, 

 Aracntina, South America, being twenty days m"transit. Peoches arrived in 

 GOOD CONDITION bringing FABULOUS PRICES.

LONC PICKING SEASON 



One of the finest features of Hale Harrison Brilliant 

 is its early coloring, the golden yellow ground color 

 appears weeks before it begins to ripen, this is the one 

 peach that has a high sugar content even when it is 

 hard. Fruit growers have been amazed at its ready to 

 eat coloring and general smooth skin appearance several

 keeping qualities any other peach on long distance ship- 

 ments.
