\9Uy6 blUCrru it js a disease-resistant bud sport of the 

 famous Elberta variety. The tree is just as vigorous as the 

 ordinary Elberta, but instead of growing upright, its branches 

 are more of spreading nature. Due to high resistance to 

 bacteriosis, the tree retains its foliage and the fruit ripens three 

 or four days later than the regular Elberta.

Mid-season Variety 



Ripens midseason. Color creamy white 

 ,^ with red cheek. Flesh white, red near pit. 



/ Size large, freestone. Belle of Georgia, for 



' some time, has been recognized as the best all- 

 around white Peach on the market. It is easily the 

 best shipping white Peach of its season, ranking 

 almost with Elberta in this respect. Because of its 

 many desirable qualities, it has become standard in 

 the large commercial orchards, and you can find 

 few orchardists of any importance who do not have 

 a block of Belle in their orchards. These men know 

 from experience just what varieties pay best and 

 endorse it highly.

 J^j 1^ A I E inated by the late J. H. Hale of South 



• Fl« rl^\LC Glastonbury, Connecticut and Fort Valley, 



Georgia, known as the Peach King of 

 America. There are many types and strains of J. H. Hale grown, but the only 

 one worthy of commercial importance is the original strain, which is the extra 

 large, round, highly colored Peach. The original strain necessitates cross-pol- 

 lenization and it is necessary, for proper results, to plant a few Belle of Georgia 

 or Hiley along with Hale for cross-pollenization.
