Harrisons’ Nurseries, Berlin, Md., U. S. A. 
HILEY 
Ripens last of July. Yellowish white skin with deep red 
cheek. Flesh is white and very juicy. 
Large size. Freestone. 
Hiley follows Carman in order of ripening, and will 
be about ready to pick when Carman is well off the trees. 
As you are doubtless aware, the best system for orchard- 
ing peaches is to plant a number of varieties, so that 
your picking force can move from one variety to another 
without undue haste or loss of time. Hiley will fit in 
this scheme perfectly; the crop ripens evenly on the 
trees and a considerable portion of it may be easily re- 
moved at one picking, 
ONE OF THE BEST SHIPPERS 
among the early peaches. Hiley will reach the market in 
good condition, and bring high prices. You may grow 
fine peaches of the ‘‘melt-in-your-mouth” variety, but if 
you cannot get them to the markets in good shape, your 
care and attention are all of no account. Peaches should 
be packed with great care; it is true that most losses in 
shipping are due to improper methods of packing, but 
some varieties will spoil in spite of all your efforts, while 
others will survive hard knocks and rough treatment and 
come up smiling. Hiley is of the latter sort, and you 
should have little trouble with low prices for fruit spoiled 
while in transit. 
HILEY IS HARDY 
Few peaches are more hardy than Hiley—it will please 
you in this respect. The tree is large and vigorous, 
grows almost as fast as Belle, with buds which are sel- 
dom affected by chilly snaps in the spring. One of its 
great points lies in its productiveness; it produces great 
quantities of easily salable fruit. Comes into bearing the 
third or fourth year. Equally as good for the home as 
it is for commercial planting.
