ELBERTA 
The World’s Greatest and Best Money-Making Peach 
Yellow freestone. Midseason. Fruit is large to ex- 
tra 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 attractive appearance and the uni- 
form large size serve to sell it almost on sight. 
The Best Commercial Variety 
Tree is vigorous, very hardy, sturdy, thrives in wide- 
ly different localities. Elberta is hardier in bud than 
most varieties, and is a uniform prolific bearer. You 
can always depend on Elberta as a sure cropper. 
Elberta is the Best Long-Distance 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 repu- 
tation of being a peach without 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 can- 
ning peach. 
Harrisons’ 34-year-old Elberta commercial orchard 
is the oldest in America. America’s oldest commercial 
peach orchard of approximately two thousand trees 
produced a large crop of United States Number One 
grade Elberta last August, and this orchard has never 
missed a heavy crop. Several thousand of our cus- 
tomers in every peach-growing section of the Union 
tell us that we have by far the finest, the best, the 
most uniform and most profitable strain of Elbertas 
in America. The buds from which our 34-year-old 
Elberta orchard was propagated were cut in person 
by our late Senator Orlando Harrison while visiting 
the late Samuel H. Rumph of Marshallville, Georgia, 
the originator of Elberta, from the original, and 
brought in person by the Senator and budded in our 
nurseries. 
There are many different types of Elberta, and the
