It has now been fruited in all Peach-growing districts in the 
United States and Canada, and has definitely proven itself to 
be the best all-around commercial Peach. Ask any man who 
has grown the Rio-Oso-Gem. 
THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIFIED PEACH Pn 
This beautiful Peach has a brilliant, bright red color, running et 
around 95% good red, whereas they are easy to pack 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 f 
crop would average three-quarters pound per Peach. The flam- 
ing, beautiful bright red color in the cheek, along with an 
attractive orange-tolored background, has earned it an envious 
reputation as being the prettiest Peach 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 can 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 have 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 all Peaches for long distance 
shipments and the fruit will stand up longer after being picked 
than any other variety of Peach in existence. This stupendous 
variety adapts itself exceedingly well for shipments in refrig- 
erator cars pre-cooled, under standard refrigeration for trans- 
continental hauls. This is the greatest Peach for shipments on 
trucks under ventilation, as its hard, firm texture insures ar- 
rival in excellent condition.

Mr. Charles Heilig, Sewell, New Jersey, Gloucester County, said that the most handsome and 
the best Peach of the forty years’ experience that he has had was his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem 
on 400 trees, three years old, from which he picked during early September 324 bushels and 
which he sold at an average price of $5.00 per bushel at his farm, grossing him more than 
$1,600.00 from this very young orchard. He bought 620 Rio-Oso-Gem trees for planting No- 
vember, 1948, and said his future plantings would be Rio-Oso-Gem. 
AMERICA’S MOST FAMOUS PEACH 
Mr. E. R. Connor, fruit grower and broker, of Stephen City, Virginia, in the famous Frederick 
County fruit section, was exceptionally well pleased with his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 
on his three-year-old trees which he picked during early September. From his 400 trees, three 
years old, he picked.a 300-bushel crop for which he was offered $3.75 per bushel, f. 0. b. Ste- 
phen City, Virginia, for the entire crop, but he refused the sale so that he could sell the Peaches 
in smaller quantities at high prices to his customers throughout the Shenandoah Valley of Vir- 
ginia and nearby cities. He planted 100 more trees two years ago which had a few Peaches on 
them this summer. Connor states he wishes he had 5,000 Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees, U. S. Plant 
Patent No. 84, planted in his Orchard instead of 500. 
RIO-OSO-GEM IS A “MUST” FOR EVERY GROWER 
There are still big cash profits in Peaches, provided you grow the right varieties and in the 
near future you will see where the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, will be getting more

planted commercial Peach in America.
