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.
