• HEIGHT AND CALIPER — Height given of fruit trees represents average height

• JUNE ELBERTA. (Mikado). Hardy productive, 

 early yellow peach, ripens about six weeks before Elberta. 

 Medium size, semi-cling, attractive yellow with red blush. 

 Self -sterile, blossom needs to be interplanted. 



• MAYFZiOWXiB. Earliest of all peaches, clingstone, 

 white, medium size, beautifully colored and dark red 

 all over. 



9 RED BIRD. (Early Wheeler). A large to extra large, 

 very early peach with a highly colored skin, white flesh, 

 cling, good shipper, and a very valuable peach for the 

 commercial grower who wants to get on the early market, 

 also very productive. 



• GBEZINSBOBO. A highly productive peach with 

 yellow skin splashed with red; flesh white; juicy; good 

 quality; also hardy and early. 



• EABIiY ROSE. A growing favorite with the fruit 

 grower, an early white cling, size medium to large, color 

 good, bright red skin, flavor excellent and a good shipper. 

 It is a strong grower, very productive, hardy, and ripens 

 about five days later than Red Bird. 



• CUMBERLAND, originated by the New Jersey Ex- 

 periment Station, a vigorous grower, and as hardy as 

 Carman. It is an outstanding peach both in color and 

 large size, and is oval in shape. The flesh is white, nearly 

 a freestone, and quality is firm. Certainly this is a fancy 

 peach for the highest type trade. 



• TBIOGEM (N. J. No. 70). An early oval, red all over, 

 yellow freestone, ripens about two days later than Golden 

 Jubilee. Fruit somewhat smaller than Jubilee. Quality 

 of fruit good, as hardy as J. H. Hale. For best results 

 will require early thinning. Orginated by N. J. Exp. Sta. 



• GOLDEN JUBILEE. Another New Jersey offering 

 This grand variety is with no doubt the finest and lead- i 

 ing variety in its class today. It is an unusually hardy i 

 tree, fruiting four to six days ahead of the Carman. It is '■ 

 early, yellow, freestone, and of the highest quality flavor. 

 It has yellow skin, red cheeked, and a good shipper. The 

 fruit buds are hardy and come through the severest 

 winters as well as any other well known variety. It is 

 a cross between the Elberta and Greensboro, and in- 

 herited the best points of each of its parents. 



Golden Jubilee being grown in practically every peach 

 growing district in the United States has proven to be a 

 real money maker every year. In the markets its praise 

 is sung and claimed 



to be the best early 

 peach on the market 

 today, always topping 

 the market prices. All 

 our buds are cut from 

 selected trees out of 

 bearing orchards from 

 the original strain of 

 the New Jersey Experi- 

 mental Station released 

 trees. 



• CARMAN. An at- 



tractive early peach, 

 semi-freestone, oval 

 shaped, yellowish, white 

 skin, with red cheek, 

 flesh white with spicy 

 flavor, hardy, strong 

 grower, a sure cropper 

 and very productive. 



• ROCHESTER. Afine 



quality yellov/ peach, 

 large in size, semi- 

 cling, and ships very 

 well. Tree bears young, 

 a strong grower, very 

 hardy, and widely 

 planted in peach grow- 

 ing sections throughout 

 the United States.
