recent high reputation and favor with the buying public, 
has made Hiley a strong contender as the highest general 
averaged priced peach. One of our customers who bought 
several thousand Hiley trees from us a few years ago 
picked from this erchard during 1929 over 80 cars of Hiley 
peaches, being properly sprayed, thoroughly cultivated 
and with ample fertilizer, this insuring only high-qual- 
ity. machine graded, packed ring-faced in round half- 
bushel baskets, United States Number One grade, Gov- 
ernment Inspected, were shipped during early summer, 
and the general average on all cars of Hiley being more 
than $1,100 net cash per refrigerator car f. o. b. Fort Val- 
ley, Georgia. This same customer, who made the largest 
profit in his entire peach career, bought approximately 
15,000 peach trees from us again in December, 1829, 
consisting of a large percentage of Hiley. Many of our 
varieties are propagated direct from the orginal strain, 
and Hiley being no exception, as our late Mr. George 
A. Harrison cut the buds from the orchard of Mr. 
Eugene Hiley of Marshalliville, Georgia, the originator 
of Hiley, then Known as Early Belle, and later as Hiley 
Early Belle, now Known as Hiley. Our Messrs. Harri- 
son have frequently visited Georgia and also cut buds 
from trees being propagated direct from the original

Early Midseason Varieties 
CHAMPION. White, freestone, very large, creamy white 
with red cheek, sweet. juicy; very high flavor, good 
shipper when properly grown; its fault, if anything, is 
that it is too tender. Reason why Champion has lost its 
past commercial importance is that it will not carry sat- 
isfactorily under refrigeration in cars for four to seven 
Gays, but as a home garden or a roadside peach, it is one 
of the best. Tree is hardy, large grower and productive.
