BLOCK OF TOWNSENDS’ SELECT STRAIN ELBERTA 
Elberta Proving a Winner for the Commercial Grower 
VARIETIES 
SOUTH HAVEN. An introduction of the South Haven Experiment Sta- 
tion 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 railroad car. It is just the variety to precede 
the Early Elberta season, ripens about two weeks in advance of the Elberta and 
VEDETTE. Choice of the Vineland Experiment Station of Canadian varieties. 
Proven well adapted in various peach belts. Seedling of the Elberta, which it 
2 LESS resembles, being more highly colored and some finer quality. Large in size, yellow 
ws flesh, freestone. Comes into bearing early, very productive, and earlier than 
Hiley. Should be a leader in the South, taking the place of Hiley. 
GOLDEN EAST wn. J. No. 87). The pride of N. J. Experiment Station, 
where this new, grand variety originated. A large, firm, oval and highly colored 
peach. Yellow fleshed and attractive. Ripens about same time as Hiley or 14 to 15 
days before Elberta. Fruit hangs to tree well after they become firm, which is an 
pe advantage at certain picking dates. Suitable for climates similar to Southern 
a meer qe 2 New Jersey. 
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. 
; Mid. Season 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, handsomely colored with 
tough skin to protect such delicious flesh, second.to none 
in sweetness, and very juicy. Early Elberta being such an 
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. 
5 ELBERT 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. Townsends’ 
Elberta are propagated from the best strains of bearing 
orchards plus their bud selection from carefully recorded 
bearing trees. Plant these certified trees this year; see the 
vast difference in TOWNSENDS’ CERTIFIED trees com- 
pared with just ordinary fruit trees. Our prices are reason- 
able and the quality is high.
