JLLjJ^JLK 1 A — Midseason 

 The World's Greatest and Best Money-Making Peach 



Yellow freestone, Midseason. 

 Fruit is large to extra large; gold- 

 en yellow with brilliant shades of 

 red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet and 

 good flavor. Elberta has the great- 

 est 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 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, along with its high attrac- 

 tive red color and firmness, 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 reputation of being a peach with- 

 out a peer and the variety which is always 

 in favor and strong demand with the buying 

 public, therefore demanding the highest pos- 

 sible market prices. Elberta is by far the 

 best canning peach. 



We believe that we have the best strain of

Elberta obtainable. In our own commercial 

 orchards we have tens of thousands of this 

 strain, it was obtained from the late Samuel 

 H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, the or- 

 iginator of Elberta, from the original tree 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 thirty-five per cent of 

 your commercial orchard to Elberta.

PRUNING NEWLY PLANTED 

 FRUIT TREES 



The limbs of fruit trees should be 

 cut back approximately two-thirds 

 when planted. Remove all surplus 

 branches from the trees leaving three 

 to five main branches as a basis for 

 the head. Always prune to an out- 

 side bud thus insuring outward 

 growth. By cutting back severely as 

 mentioned it will cause the trees to 

 put out a dense growth the first year 

 and will result in a much more satis- 

 factory tree. Trees that do not have 

 any side branches should be cut back 

 to a height of approximately 2 to 2V 2 

 feet from the ground. With trees 

 that do have side branches, these 

 branches should be cut back to ap- 

 proximately two buds per stem.
