Hiley — The Famous Southern Peach 



HILEY (HILEY BELLE)— Early, white freestone, medium 

 size, highly red colored, very firm, being an exceedingly 

 handsome creamy white peach with a delightful red cheek; 

 flesh is white, fine texture, aromatic, very juicy and of the 

 highest flavor. Tree is strong grower, very healthy and a 

 marvelous heavy bearer. Being an excellent shipper, with 

 the stamina to withstand very long hauls under refrigera- 

 tion, together with its beautiful, most appetizing appearance, 

 and being easily attractively packed in six-gallon carriers, 

 bushels and half-bushels, along with its recent high repu- 

 tation and favor with the buying public, has made Hiley a 

 strong contender as the highest general averaged priced 

 peach. One of our customers who bought several thousand 

 Hiley trees from us a few years ago picked from this or- 

 chard during 1929 over 80 cars of Hiley peaches, being 

 properly sprayed, thoroughly cultivated and with ample fer- 

 tilizer, this insuring only high quality, machine graded, 

 packed ring-faced in round half-bushel baskets, United 

 States Number One grade, Government Inspected, were 

 shipped during early summer of 1929, and the general aver- 

 age on all cars of Hiley being more than $1,100 net cash 

 per refrigerator car f.o.b. Fort Valley, Georgia. This same 

 customer, who made the largest profit in his entire peach 

 career, bought approximately 15,000 peach trees from us 

 again in December, 1929, consisting of a large percentage 

 of Hiley. Many of our varieties are propagated direct from 

 the original strain, and Hiley being no exception, as our 

 late Mr. George A. Harrison cut the buds from the orchard 

 of Mr. Eugene Hiley of Marshallville, Georgia, the orig- 

 inator of Hiley, then kncwn as Early Belle, and later as 

 Hiley Early Belle, now known as Hiley. Our Messrs. Har- 

 rison 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 Harrisons' Strain of Hiley 

 to your commercial plantings for real profit.
