VARIETIES 



• SOUTH HAVEN. An introduction of the South Haven Experiment 

 Station of Michigan. A thrifty grower, very productive, hardy, yellow 

 flesh, freestone, colors up well about a week to ten days before ready 

 to pick, and can be classed as a good shipper after four days in rail- 

 road car. It is just the variety to precede the Early Elberta season, 

 ripens about two weeks in advance of the Elberta and of its same type. 



• HILEY. Early commercial freestone with white flesh, medium size, 

 with beautiful red cheek. It ripens before Belle of Georgia. It is a leading 

 commercial variety of the south and a good shipper. 



• CHAMPION. A very large white freestone peach with the finest flavor. 

 It is just the right peach for the near by market, but not so good under 

 refrigeration. It is very productive and hardy. Plan to plant this variety 

 near your home this year. 



• CRAWFORD EARLY. A large yellow fleshed peach with bright red 

 cheek. The flavor is juicy and sweet and of high quality. It is freestone, 

 ripens in mid-season and is highly prized for canning purposes. 



• FITZGERALD. An improved Early Crawford, deep yellow, richly flavored, 

 freestone, and skin splashed with red. A much improved strain. 



/rlicl- G>&&$Ori VARIETIES 



• EARLY ELBERTA. The fastest selling peach on the market, ripening about 

 ten days to two weeks ahead of Elberta. It is a yellow freestone, hand- 

 somely colored with tough skin to protect such delicious flesh, second to 

 none in sweetness, and very juicy. Early Elberta being such and extra fancy 

 beautiful peach demands top prices just before the Elberta season. Plant 

 this variety without delay for early and handsome profits. Buds are hardier 

 than Elberta. 



• BELLE OF GEORGIA. An excellent white peach, ripening just before Elberta. 

 Trees are hardy, and it is the leading commercial white peach. Fruit large, 

 white fleshed, skin white with red cheek, a very beautiful peach that sells 

 readily on any market. It has good shipping qualities and there are few 

 orchardist who do not have a nice block of Belle trees. It is a real money 

 maker from past experiences and always reliable. A very excellent variety 

 for home consumption. Stands severe winter freezing where many other 

 standard varieties fail. Be sure to include Belle of Georgia in your list. Our 

 trees are of select strain, propagated only from selected certified bearing 

 trees that have come up to our rigid certification. 



• ELBERTA. The greatest peach that has ever been introduced for the fruit 

 grower. This grand old variety still reigns supreme on the peach market, 

 demanding the top prices always. Elberta yields young, bears large fruit, 

 uniform in size; beautifully colored, bright yellow with brilliant red on the 

 sunny side. Growers do not have any trouble in selling their Elberta peaches 

 due to their attractive appearance and rich flavor along with their large size. 



• Elberta will stand shipment under refrigeration as much as two weeks or 

 more without losing its popularity on the fruit market. This one point is not 

 to be overlooked when the time comes to harvest the big crop. Townsends' 

 Elberta are propagated from the best strains of bearing orchards plus their 

 bud selection from carefully recorded bearing trees, showing their outstanding 

 merits at fruiting time. Plant these certified trees this year so that you might 

 readily see the vast difference in TOWNSENDS' CERTIFIED trees compared 

 with just ordinary fruit trees at fruiting time. Our prices are reasonable and 

 the quality is high. 



J. H. HALE. Leads the peach field second only to Elberta. Widely planted 

 throughout the peach growing sections of America, it has made a national reputa- 

 tion for itself as a leader and money maker for its producer. J. H. Hale is an 

 extra large peach, yellow, freestone, skin without fuzz, has a deep red coloring 

 that words will not quite describe, and sells on sight. Flavor verv luscious, sweet. 

 and juicy. Ripens just a few days before Elberta. Ships as well as Elberta. A 

 very valuable commercial variety as well as for home purposes. Townsends" J. H.

 do, namely Belle of Georgia or the Hiley. either one are generally used.
