The sensational Peach which has coused the greatest amount 

 of favorable reports of any Peoch introduced in a half century 

 is that marvelous, big Peach, the World's largest, being a pat- 

 ented variety, the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84. 

 It has now been fruited in all Peach-gr6wing districts in the 

 United States and Canada, and has definitely proven itself to 

 be the best all-around commercial Peach. Ask any nrran who 

 hos grown the Rio-Oso-Gem. 



THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIFIED PEACH 



This beautiful Peach has o brilliant, bright red color, running 

 around 95% good red, whereas they are easy to pock as U. S. 

 Fancy grade. The size of the Peach is all that anyone can 

 expect, as many of these Peaches will run a pound or more 

 in weight and in many instances have been reported that the 

 crop would average three-quarters pound per Peach. The flam- 

 ing, beautiful bright red color in the cheek, along with an 

 attractive orange-colored background, has earned it an envious 

 reputation as being the prettiest Peoch grown. 



BEST FLAVORED COMMERCIAL PEACH 



The unexcelled flavor is better than that of J. H. Hale and 

 Elberta. The enticing flavor makes it a very popular Peach 

 for fresh eating. The rich flavor is retained when canned or 

 preserved. Now recognized as the leading canning Peach in 

 California. Rio-Oso-Gem is the only Peach which con be pro- 

 cessed by quick freezing and still retain its firm texture, with 

 its beautiful, rich, golden yellow flesh and the same flavor as 

 when picked. We hove quick frozen Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 

 which were picked and processed on September 1, 1944, which 

 are still holding up in excellent condition. 



RECORD BREAKER FOR LONG DISTANCE 

 SHIPMENTS 



The Rio Oso Gem is the best of oil Peoches for long distance 

 shipments and the fruit will stand up longer offer being picked 

 than any other variety of Peach in existence. This stu{}endous 

 voricty adapts itself exceedingly well for shipments in refrig- 

 eixitor cars ore-cooled, under star>dard refrigeration for trans- 

 continental houls. This is the greatest Peach for shipments on 

 trucks under ventilation, as its hard, firm texture insures ar- 

 rivol in excellent condition.
