12 HARRISONS’ 
NURSERIES - BERLIN - 
MARYLAND 
Plant 
Harrisons’ original strain of J. H. Hale peaches for 
gold profits 
J. H. Hale—packed in different style packages. 
J. H. HALE (Hale). Yellow, freestone, extra large, 
round, beautiful red coloring, firm, and of the high- 
est quelity and enticing flavor. Ripens about two 
or three days prior to Elberta. Hales are too large 
to properly pack in six-gallon carriers, but they 
make the most attractive and commanding appear- 
ance, 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 usually sell from 25c to 50c, and 
sometimes 75c more per bushel on the largest whole- 
sale markets. Our Hales are propagated direct from 
the original strain, the buds being selected and cut 
by our late Senator Orlando 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.

shipping season 
consistent cropper Known. Plant Ray for nearby 
markets and roadside stands, as its fine, attractive 
appearance and high flavor sell it on sight. 
Midseason Late Varieties 
BRACKETT. Ripens about a week later than Elberta, 
and fruit similar to Elberta, but of better flavor. 
Yellow, freestone, large size and highly flavored. 
The best commercial or family peach to plant so as 
to extend the period of ripening in which the EI- 
berta is so popular. Brackett is a good shipper and 
brings the highest prices, always selling 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. 
Brackett will grow in 
any section where 
Elberta will thrive. 
You will never regret 
planting Brackett in 
your commercial or 
home orchard.
