SIZE OF PEACH 
DISCOVERY OF THE HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT 
This sensational new peach was discovered by Mr. Oscar F. Jones, near 
Crozet, Virginia in the famous mountainous Albemarie 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 GROWERS SAY 
Mr. C. Purcell McCue—‘“Personally, | feel this peach will replace ELBERTA 
in this section.” 

Mr. C. E. Starkweather—"'It bears larger, better colored peaches even with 
a heavier crop than the Elbertas do.” 
Mr. Lee T. Carpenter—''lf it proves out in tests as good as it is in its 
original habitat | consider it to be the greatest find since Elberta in the 1870's." 
Mr. Charles H. Martin—'‘The parent tree of this peach is the largest and 
the most prolific | 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. Daugherty—''l know something of the HALE HARRISON 
BRILLIANT and consider it a very unusual variety which will soon replace 
Elberta if properly distributed and advertised." 
Mr. H. P. Rhodes—‘‘The 500 Hale Harrison Brilliant peach trees | got from 
you and planted during November of 1949, that 498 are growing and have 
made a tremendous growth with dark green, healthy leaves and sturdy limbs. 
| was over to Crozet this summer and got three Dinnals of this amazing peach 
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 $4.50 per bushel. 
They were the most perfect example of a very large, delicious firm peach | 
have ever seen. Will eventually replace Elberta. | want to plant another block, 
as | believe and all of the fruit men of Winchester, Virginia agree with me, 
that this peach is the answer to a fruit grower's prayer. 
Ripens 3 to 4 days earlier than Elberta. 
Finest flavored yellow peach. 
Sold out for Spring 1955. 
Trees available for Fall 1955 shipment. 



The Peach of the Future 
= HALE HARRISON 
U. S. Patented BRILLIANT No. 814 
Sensational! New! Colossal! 
Yellow freestone ripening during midseason at about 
the same time as Elberta. The fruit is nearly fuzzless and 
has a brilliant cardinal red almost completely covering a 
golden yellow ground color even when growing in shade 
in the interior of the tree. Fruit throughout the tree is 
uniformly large even when unpruned or unthinned. Tree 
is large, vigorous and rapid grower. Self pollinating, it 
bears tremendous crops year after year. Very hardy in bud 
and blossom and highly resistant to brown rot. Keeping 
qualities are excellent. 
FOR HOME OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARD 
Whether you are going to plant one tree for home 
fresh eating, canning or freezing or one thousand trees 
for a commercial orchard, we unhesitatingly recommend 
Hale Harrison Brilliant as the best peach to plant. It will 
give you more pleasure to eat or more profit in growing 
than any other peach known today. 
WILL REPLACE ELBERTA 
For many decades Elberta has been the standard peach 
of the world by which all peaches have been judged, 
tests and observations by leading peach authorities con- 
firm our belief that the new sensational Hale Harrison 
Brilliant surpasses the Elberta in every way. 
OUTSELLS AND OUTBEARS 
Hale Harrison Brilliant outclasses them all. It is really 
the one peach that has everything. Its beautiful attractive 
appearance, huge size, superior delicious flavor makes it 
have extraordinary favorable eye appeal, resulting in 
higher prices. This combined with its BUMPER crops, 
“Original tree has produced over twenty bushels a year" 
make it the outstanding moneymaker. 
WIDELY ADAPTED 
Hale Harrison Brilliant has been planted in thirty- 
four states. Reports from these plantings prove it is 
equally as adaptable to the far south as it is in central 
and western areas and it even produces highly satisfactory 
in Canada and other northern peach sections. 
LONG 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 
days before it is rea to pick and ship, this means a 
long picking season. Records show that it surpasses in 
keeping qualities any other peach on long distance ship- 
ments.
