otiginated by the Late PEACH KING 
SN 
Our Hales are propagated direct from 
inated by the late J. H.- Hale of South 
J. |. HALE Glastonbury, Connecticut and Fort Valley, 
Georgia, who at one time was 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-pollenization and it is necessary, for proper results, te plant a few Belle 
of Georgia or Hiley along with Hale for cross-pollen- 
ization. 
The tree is somewhat dwarf, a moderate grower and ALL SEASON — 
should be planted on the richest, best, well-drained COLLECTION | 
soil available. The Hale needs more cultivation and PEACHES 
fertilization than most varieties. No. 79 
Hale is the second most extensively planted yellow cory Rose. 
Peach, being surpassed only by Elberta. Hale is a ee 
ranking member of the five greatest peaches in America. Yellow, early.
