J. H. HALE (Hale). Yellow, freestone, extra 

 large, round, beautiful rei^ coloring, firm, 

 and of the highest qualfty and enticing 

 flavor. Ripens about tw| or three days 

 prior to Elberta. Hales are too large to 

 properly pack in six-gallon carriers, but 

 they make the most attractive and com- 

 manding appearance, when packed ring- 

 faced in bushel and half-bushel baskets. 

 Hale quickly made a national reputation 

 and is a strong competitor of Elberta, being 

 just about as good a shipper as Elberta on 

 long hauls. Prices on Hale and Elberta, 

 with a large national crop, are about the 

 same, but on a short crop year Hales usu- 

 ally sell from 25c to 50c, and sometimes 75c 

 more per bushel on the largest wholesale 

 markets. Our Hales are propagated direct 

 from the original strain, the buds being 

 selected and cut by our late Senator Or- 

 lando Harrison and his son, Mr. G. Hale 

 Harrison, in person, with the late Hon- 

 orable J. H. Hale of South Glastonbury, 

 Conn., the originator of J. H. Hale, who at 

 that time was the "Peach King of America", 

 owning large commercial orchards at South 

 Glastonbury, Conn., and Fort Valley. Ga. 

 Tree is somewhat dwarf, a moderate grower, 

 and should be planted on the richest, best, 

 well drained peach soil available. Hale 

 needs more cultivation and fertilization 

 than most varieties. 



Plant Harrisons' strain of Hale 

 for fancy trade. 



New Prolific. Yellow, freestone, large, pro- 

 ductive. 



Old Mixon Free. White, freestone, large with 

 bright red cheek, tender, rich, excellent 

 flavor. 



RAY. White, freestone, large, most attractive 

 red blush of delicate shade, juicy, delicious, 

 tender and excellent flavor. Trees are ex- 

 ceedingly strong growers, shapely and sym- 

 metrical, a regular bearer of big crops and 

 generally considered as the heaviest, most

Midseason 



Late 

 Varieties 



BRACKETT. 



Ripens about 

 a week later 

 than Elberta, 

 and fruit 

 similar to 

 Elberta, but 

 of better fla- 

 vor. Yellow, 

 freestone, 

 large size and 

 highly fla- 

 vored. The 

 best com- 

 mercial or 

 family peach 

 to plant so 

 as to extend 

 the period of ripening in which the Elberta 

 is so popular. Brackett is a good shipper 

 and brings the highest prices, always sell- 

 ing at the same high prices with Elberta 

 and often from 25 cents to 50 cents per 

 carrier or bushel higher, especially on the 

 New York City and Boston markets. Brack- 

 ett will grow in any section where Elberta 

 will thrive. You will never regret planting 

 Brackett in your commercial or home 

 orchard. 



CRAWFORD LATE. Yellow, freestone, 

 superb in size and shape; 

 splendid yellow, with broad 

 dark red cheek; flesh deep 

 yellow, juicy and melting, 

 rich, winy flavor. One of 

 the best late sorts. Tree vig- 

 orous, hardy and sure bear- 

 ing, coming at a time when 

 the midseason peaches are 

 over, this variety is eagerly 

 bought up for canning and 

 preserving, and brings 

 highest prices. Being such- 

 a remarkably good shipper, 

 it reaches the market in 

 flrst class condition. An 

 old commercial favorite. 

 Frances. Yellow, freestone, 

 medium to large size; good 

 quality. 



J. H. Hale peaches often 

 weigh one pound. Largest 

 size commercial peach grown, 

 always commanding highest 

 market prices
