DISCOVERY OF THE HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT 



This sensational new peach was discovered by Mr. Oscar F. (ones, near 

 Crozet, Virginia in the famous mountainous Albemarie County section. He was 

 manager for more than 30 years for the A. C. Bruce orchards, who planted 

 many thousands of Harrison grown peach trees, starting in 1902. A life long 

 horticulturist, he is a pioneer In one of the largest peach growing districts of 

 the United States. 



rWHAT PROMINENT GROWERS SAYi 



Mr. C. Purcell McCue, Greenwood, Virginia — "Personolly, I feel this peach 

 will replace ELBERTA in this section." 



Mr. C. E. Starkweather, Crozet, Virginia — "It bears larger, better colored 

 peaches even with a heavier crop than the Elbertas do." 



Mr. Lee T. Carpenter, Louisa, Virginia — "If it proves out in tests as good 

 as it is in its original habitat I consider it to be the greatest find since Elberta 

 in the 1870's." 



Nininger Orchards, Roanoke, Virginia — "The parent tree of this peach is the 

 largest and the most prolific I ever saw and when it is loaded with those large, 

 uniform fruit, one hundred per cent colored it is a sight to be remembered." 



Mr. Edward D. Dougherty, Crozet, Virginia — "\ know something of the 

 HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT and consider it a very unusual variety which will 

 soon replace Elberta if properly distributed and advertised." 



Mr. H. P. Rhodes, Winchester, Virginia — "The 500 Hale Harrison Brilliant 

 peach trees I got from you and planted during November of 1949, that 498 

 are growing and have made a tremendous growth with dark green, healthy 

 leaves and sturdy limbs. I was over to Crozet this summer and got three bushels 

 of this amazing peach from Mr. Oscar Jones, they were off of the parent (16 

 years old) tree, which hod probably twenty bushels which he sold off the tree 

 for $4.50 per bushel. Th6y were the most perfect example of a very large, 

 delicious firm peach I hove ever seen. Will eventually replace Elberta. I want 

 to plant another block, as I believe and all of the fruit men of Winchester 

 Virginia agree with me, that this peach is the answer to a fruit grower's prayer.' 



Several hundred half-bushel cell type paper cartons of HALE HARRISON 

 BRILLIANT peaches grown in Northern Virginia were shipped during August
