ELBERTA 



The World's Greatest and Best Money-Making Peach 



Yellow freestone, Midseason, Fruit is 

 large to 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 attrac- 

 tive 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. El- 

 berta is hardier in bud than most va- 

 rieties, and is a uniform prolific bearer. 

 You can always depend on Elberta as a 

 sure cropper. 



Elberta Is the Best Loimg-DistaEice 

 Shipper 



The large fruit, being uniform in size 

 and shape, along with its high attractive 

 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 



peaches packed in crates. World's 

 commercial orchards 



Elberta — The World's best peach — champion 

 long distance shipper. Marvelous money maker 



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 fifty to seventy-five 



per cent of your commercial orchard to 



Elberta. 

 Plant Harrisons' Superior 



Strain of Elberta and reap the 



huge gold profits.

 Dear Sirs: 



Acknowledging your letter of 

 the :22nd. I do not need any nur- 

 sery stock this Spring. After all, 

 I have only a small orchard and 

 you supplied me such good stock 

 on previous occasions, which is 

 flourishing luxuriantly and looks 

 like the proverbial "million dol- 

 lars" that I will not need any 

 more. 



Yours very truly, 



H. C. BLACKISTON
