NEW PEACH -THE PIONEER 



From our own New Jersey Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station comes the 

 great news that they consider this 

 new variety the most valuable early 

 sort in commerce to-day. It is a 

 White fleshed peach, semi-clinging, 

 although almost free. It is from 

 five days to a week earlier than 

 Carmen but of far more attractive 

 color and of better quality. The trees 

 are very vigorous, hardy and pro- 

 lific for so early a variety. In color 

 and shape it is all that can be de- 

 sired. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



Other Varieties of Merit 



BELLE OF GEORGIA — Mid- 

 season. White, largely overspread 

 with red; firm; sweet; freestone. 



CARMEN — The earliest variety 

 having sufficient merit. 



CRAWFORD'S LATE — Re- 

 sembles Crawford's Early, but is 

 later, larger and more beautiful. 



ELBERTA — Midseason. Fruit 

 large. Yellow with deep red "cheek. Rochester 



HILEY — Second early. Creamy peaches — 

 white with deep red cheek. Flesh early — 

 is white, very juicy, of fine quality. prolific 



J. H. HALE — Holds out great promise of be- 

 coming a popular favorite because of its many 

 good qualities. In season of ripening it bridges the 

 gap between Rochester and Elberta. The peaches 

 are very large, of round shape, with a deep golden 

 yellow skin overlaid with carmine. 



ROCHESTER — The outstanding characteristic 

 of this valuable, extra early, yellow peach is that it 

 begins to bear while quite young. Tree is vigorous. 

 The fruit grows to immense size, is a beautiful 

 orange yellow, blushed and mottled with dark red 

 spots. The yellow flesh is very juicy and highly 

 flavored. Freestone. Middle of August.
