lak to %/v^latJL 



• SHIPPERS LATE RED. Late yellow peach with attractive 

 red blush. Extra hardy, good cropper; trees fruiting very young. 

 A very high quality peach of the Hale type, also freestone. We 

 recommend it to follow Elberta. Good for home and com- 

 mGrci3,l markets 



9 BRACKETT. This excellent variety is comparatively new, 

 but has already proven itself as a leading commercial peach to 

 follow Elberta. It has a beautiful golden yellow skin, tinged 

 with dark carmine. It runs very uniform in size and is large, 

 of high quality and excellent flavor. It ships well and is a 

 heavy yielder of fancy fruit. If you are looking for a grand 

 variety to follow Elberta about five days, plant Brackett with 

 the fullest confidence that it will prove for you as it is doing 

 for others — making real profits. Freestone. 



• CRAWFORD'S LATE. A late, large yellow 

 peach with deep red cheek. Flesh very yellow 

 and juicy. Very good flavor, freestone, and red 

 at pit. 



• ROBERTA. A rather new variety that is be- 

 coming popular when once fruited. About ten 

 days later than Elberta, which it resembles in 

 some respects. Fruit attractive, of good quality 

 and freestone. 



• HEATH CLING. A very late peach and of 

 extra large size with creamy white flesh, round 

 with red-blush, very firm, and juicy. It is a 

 favorite for canning and pickling. Just the va- 

 riety for that Home Orchard.
