 Benefits 



Fruit is large to extra 

 large; golden yellow with 

 brilliant shades of red; firm 

 juicy, rich, sweet and good 

 flavor. Elberta has the 

 greatest international repu- 

 tation of any peach. It has 

 been the standard for all 

 other peaches almost since 

 the date of its introduction. 

 The coloring of Elberta is 

 practically perfect. The rich, 

 yellow skin is almost en- 

 tirely covered with dark 

 red blush upon the sunny 

 side. This attractive ap- 

 pearance and the uniform 

 large size serve to sell it 

 almost on sight.

 "Original Strain' 



Stamina — Uniformity — Best Canning 



Public Demand 



Premium Prices 



The large fruit, being uniform in size and shape, along with its high, attractive red 

 color and firmness, withstands shipments of three thousand or more miles under refrig- 

 eration in cars taking two or three weeks before being consumed, arriving with stam- 

 ina enough to still look its best. Elberta has the reputation of being a peach without 

 a peer and the variety which is always in favor and strong demand with the buying 

 public, demanding the highest possible market prices. Elberta is by far the best 

 canning peach. 



Save Disappointment — Plant Only Original Strain Elberta 



Today, there are more than seven distinct types and strains of Elberta, bearing fruit in the orchards of 

 this country. To compare the various sizes, shapes, texture and red coloring of these Elberta with ♦■hose 

 grown "on original strain trees" gives sufficient reason why they sold in 1939 at a premium of 50r t& 75c 

 per bushel on the New York and other leading fruit markets. 



They 



Cost No More 



Why plant degenerated strains of Elberta when you can plant Harrisons' 

 heavy yielding original strain trees. They can be purchased at the lowest 

 price that high quality trees can be produced for. It is true trees, size by 

 size, can be produced cheaper by budding them from non-fruiting trees in 

 the nursery row, but this method causes degeneration. Trees grown in this 

 manner will be lighter croppers and require a longer time in coming into 

 bearing. 



Thousands Acclaim the Superiority of 

 Harrison-Grown Trees 



Harrisons' pride themselves in propagating from the original Elberta strain, buds of 

 which were personally cut by the late Senator Orlando Harrison from the original 

 Elberta mother tree in the Rumph orchard in 1889. 



We have two commercial orchards, now 36 years old, of these wonderful original 

 strain Elberta. Besides yielding bumper crops annually, they are the source of our 

 present supply of original strain buds for the new young trees. 



For years our Elberta peaches have been the background of handsome peach profits. 

 You can do the some if you plant Harrisons' original strain Elberta — it's your best bet. 



America's No. 1 Peoch — Elberta. There ore. more Elberta peach trees in 

 bearing than any other variety on earth.
