READ WHAT FELLOW GROWERS SAY 



We have received several hundred complimentary letters highly praising the Rio-Oso-Ccm 

 Peach. U. S. Plant Patent No. 84. from all over the United States, some of the typical remarks 

 are from people such as Fussell-Craham-Alderson Company. Forest City. Arkansas: "We have 

 about 1 .000 of Harrisons' Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees from which we have been harvesting the 

 largest and prettiest Peaches 1 ever saw. We sold our Elberta Peaches. U. S. No. 1 grade at 

 S2.25 per bushel and we had no trouble in picking the Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches 2' 4 inches an, 

 up which we sold at S4.00 per bushel, f. o. b. Forest City. Arkansas. " 



Mr. H. Frank Smith. Prop. Hillcrest Orchard. Dover. Arkansas, writes: "This year's crop con- 

 vinces me that the Rio-Oso-Gem. U. S. Plant Patent No. 84. is the very finest Peach and has 

 certainly proven such with me. It has very fine qualities as a canner and people go wild about 

 it. It always brings the highest prices for me." 



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-Cem 

 on 400 trees, three years old. from which he picked during early September 324 bushels and 

 which he sold at an average price of S5.00 per bushel at his farm, grossing him more than 

 SI. 600.00 from this very young orchard. He bought 620 Rio-Oso-Cem trees for planting November, 

 and said his future plantings would be Rio-Oso-Cem 



AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS PEACH 



Mr. E. R. Connor, fruit grower and broker, of Stephen City, Virginio, in the famous Frederick 

 County fruit section, was exceptionally ■well pleosed with his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem Peoches 

 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 wos offered S3.75 per bushel, f. o. b. Ste- 

 phen City, Virginia, for the entire crop, but he refused the sole so thot he could sell the Peaches 

 in smaller quantities at high prices to his customers throughout the Shenandoah Volley of Vir- 

 ginia and neorbv cities. He planted 100 more trees two ye<)rs ogo which had o iern Peaches on 

 them this summer. Connor states he wishes he hod 5.000 Rio-Oso-Gem Peoch trees, U. S Plont 

 Patent No. 84, plnntcd in his Orchard instead of 500.
