The Late Ripening Peach You Have Been Waiting For 



The Rio Oso Gem is a perfect freestone, form is globular, slightly elongated, of extremely large size . 



averaging in diameter from 23/ 4 to 33/ 4 inches, deep yellow flesh, very fine grain, firm texture, witfi 

 very excellent flavor, being rich, juicy, sweet and slightly spicy. The coloring is unique, being i ; „;y 



beautiful dark crimson-red, running out to lighter crimson and into a rich mottle of crimson over tne 

 orange-yellow ground color. It is a good transcontinental shipper. 



Bears Heavier Than Elberta 



Rio Oso Gem is an extremely heavy bearer and on account of its prolific set of fruit, it is necessary 

 to practice extremely heavy thinning. It has hardy, vigorous fruit buds, which insure it being a 

 heavy annual bearer. The tree bears young. 



Ripens Two Weeks Later Than Elberta 



The Rio Oso Gem would be a peach of commercial importance when ripening at any time during 

 the peach seasot but it is very fortunate that it ripens two weeks later than Elberta which pus 

 at a time when there is no other variety of commercial importance as a competitor, and fills along 

 tooked-Tor gap in commercial production, ripening when the markets are clamoring for peaches. 



Colors Before It Ripens 



An amazing feature of the Rio Oso Gem is, it will take on a good bright red color and yellow 

 background "wo weeks before ripening, and even ten days before actual ripening time the percentage 

 of brtaW red color is decidedly more than most other varieties. 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.
