ville, Georgia, the originator of Hiley, then known as Early- 

 Belle, and later as Hiley Early Belle, now known as Hiley. 

 Our Messrs. Harrison have frequently visited Georgia and 

 also cut buds from trees being propagated direct from the 

 original strain of Hiley from the famous Hiley orchards of 

 Rumph Brothers of Marshallville, Georgia. Add Harrison's 

 Strain of Hiley to your commercial plantings for real profit. 



J. H, HAIiE (Hale). Midseason, yellow, freestone, extra 

 large, round, beautiful red coloring, firm, and of the highest 

 quality 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 com- 

 manding appearance when packed ring-faced in bushel and 

 half-bushel baskets. Hale quickly made a national reputa- 

 tion 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 wholesale 

 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 Honorable J. H. Hale of South Glaston- 

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

 time was the 'Teach King of America," owning large com- 

 mercial 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 fer- 

 tilization than most varieties. To aid large crops, suggest 

 planting Belle of Georgia or Hiley or Elberta along with 

 J. H. Hale to insure the proper cross-pollenization.
