Hiley 



Ripens last of July. Yelloicish white skin icifh deep red cheek. 

 Flesh w white and very juicy. Large size. Freestone 



Hiley follows Carman in order of ripening, and will be about 

 ready to pick when Carman is well off the trees. As you are 

 doubtless aware, the best system for orcharding peaches is to 

 plant a number of varieties, so that your picking force can move 

 from one variety to another without undue haste or loss of time. 

 Hiley will fit in this scheme perfectly : the crop ripens evenly on 

 the trees and a considerable portion of it may be easily removed 

 at one picking. 



ONE OF THE BEST SHIPPERS 



among the early peaches. Hiley will reach the market in good 

 condition, and bring high prices. You may grow fine peaches of 

 the "melt-in-your-mouth" variety, but if you cannot get them to 

 the markets in good shape, your care and attention are all of no 

 account. Peaches should be packed with great care : it is true 

 that most losses in shipping are due to improper methods of pack- 

 ing, but some varieties will spoil in spite of all your efforts, while 

 others will survive hard knocks and rough treatment and come up 

 smiling. Hiley is of the latter sort, and you should have little 

 trouble with low prices for fruit spoiled while in transit. 



HILEY IS HARDY 



Few peaches are more hardy than Hiley — it will please you in 

 this respect. The tree is large and vigorous, grows almost as fast 

 as Belle, with buds which are seldom affected by chilly snaps in 

 the spring. One of its great points lies in its productiveness ; it 

 produces great quantities of easily salable fruit. Comes into 

 bearing the third or fourth year. Equally as good for the home 

 as it is for commercial planting.
