Elberta 



The World's Greatest and Best Money-Making Peach 



Yellow freestone. Midseason. Fruit is large to 

 t: extra large; golden yellow with brilliant shades of 

 red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet and good flavor. Elberta 

 has the greatest international reputation 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 entirely covered with dark red blush upon 

 the sunny side. This attractive appearance and the 

 uniform large size serve to sell it almost on sight. 



The Best Commercial Variety 



Tree is vigorous, very hardy, sturdy, thrives in 



widely different localities. Elberta is hardier in bud 



I' than most varieties, and is a uniform prolific bearer. 



You can always depend on Elberta as a sure cropper. 



Elberta is the Best Long-Distance Shipper 



The large fruit, being uniform in size and shape, 

 h along with its high attractive red color and firmness, 

 h also its ability to stand shipments of three thousand 

 !• or more miles under refrigeration in cars for two or 

 three weeks before being consumed, but with stamina 

 enough to still look its best, has won Elberta the rep- 

 utation of being a peach without a peer and the va- 

 riety which is always in favor and strong demand 

 with the buying public, therefore demanding the high- 



est possible market prices, 

 canning peach. 



Elberta is by far the best 



Harrisons' 32-year-old Elberta commercial orchard 

 is the oldest in America. America's oldest commer- 

 cial peach orchard of approximately two thousand 

 trees produced a large crop of United States number 

 one grade Elberta last August, and this orchard has 

 never missed a heavy crop. Several thousand of our 

 customers in every peach-growing section of the 

 Union tell us that we have by far the finest, the best, 

 the most uniform and most profitable strain of Elber- 

 tas in America. The buds from which our 32-year- 

 old Elberta orchard was propagated were cut in per- 

 son by our late Senator Orlando Harrison while visit- 

 ing the late Samuel H. Rumph of Marshallville, 

 Georgia, the originator of Elberta, from the original, 

 and brought in person by the Senator and budded in 

 our nurseries. 



There are many different types of Elberta, and the 

 "Best Strain" is the cheapest and most profitable in 

 the long-time investment. 



Recommend planting fifty to seventy-five per cent 

 of your commercial orchard to Elberta. 



Plant Harrisons' Superior Strain of Elberta and 

 reap the huge gold profits.
