Rio Oso Gem Peach 



United States Plant Patent No. 84. Nov. 28, 1933 



World's Largest Peach 



A Tremendous Money Maker for Growers 



) 



Commercially speaking, Elberta just about ends the peach deal each >/ 

 year, consequently growers for several generations have been anxiously 

 looking for a late ripening, yellow, freestone peach of large size, high red 

 color and good flavor, to extend their shipping season, and have eventually 

 found it in the newlv discovered marvelous Rio Oso Gem. This new variety 

 has been awarded U. S. Plant Patent No. 84 of the U. S. Patent Office. 



LARGER THAN J. H. HALE 



The Rio Oso Gem is a perfect freestone, form is globular, slightly 

 elongated, of extremely large size, averaging in diameter from 2% to 394 

 inches, deep yellow flesh, very fine grain, firm texture, with very excellent 

 flavor, being rich, juicy, sweet and slightly spicy. 



The coloring is unique, being a beautiful dark crimson red, running 

 out to lighter crimson and into a rich mottle of crimson over the orange- 

 yellow ground color. 



It is a good transcontinental shipper.

BEARS HEAVIER THAN ELBERTA 



Rio Oso Gem is an extremely heavy bearer and on account of its 

 prolific set of fruit, it is necessary to practice extremely heavy thinning. 

 It has hardy, vigorous fruit buds, which insure it being a heavy annual 

 bearer. The tree bears young. 



RIPENS 2 WEEKS LATER THAN ELBERTA 



The Rio Oso Gem would be a peach of commercial importance when 

 ripening at any time during the peach season, but it is very fortunate that 

 it ripens two weeks later than Elberta, which puts it at a time when there 

 is no other variety of commercial importance as a competitor, and fills a 

 long looked for gap in commercial production, ripening when the markets 

 are clamoring for peaches — this variety has sold at very much higher 

 prices than Elberta and J. H. Hale. To prolong your peach shipping season, 

 we highly recommend to you planting the Rio Oso Gem. Harrisons have 

 planted several thousand Rio Oso Gem in their own famous orchards. We 

 have the utmost faith in the Rio Oso Gem, and we will also make future 

 plantings of this remarkable peach.

THE ^'RED YORKING" IS ONE 

 OF THE GREATEST DEVEL- 

 OPMENTS IN THE HORTICUL- 

 TURAL WORLD. 



"Red Yorking" 



York Imperial 



Sensational New Triple Red York Imperial Earlier Coloring— More Extra Fancy Fruits 



The Red Yorking apple is the Utopian variety which growers have 

 long wished for in the York Imperial producing sections. The York 

 Imperial has been most extensively planted and has gained its greatest 

 prestige in Southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Dela- 

 ware and is generally considered in those states as the best average 

 mony maker, consequently this second largest commercial apple dis- 

 trict of the Nation has been startled and amazed as to the unusual 

 merits of the new "bud sport" variety "Red Yorking." 



The Glorified York Imperial 



The Red Yorking is a "bud sport," being a mutation of the famous 

 York Imperial. This "bud sport" originated on a tree, grown with 

 other York Imperial trees, in Harrisons' Nurseries and later sold to 

 Mr. W. H. Allison, near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania for use in plant- 

 ing a large orchard about twenty-four years ago. 



The "Red Yorking" is similar to its parent in size and shape but 

 its chief distinction is that it has very much better red color, being 

 mostly 100% bright red color. The Red Yorking takes on high red 

 color from two to three weeks earlier in the fall than York Imperial, 

 which is a distinct advantage in selling, as the earliness in season 

 and high red color will command much higher prices.- 



The "Red Yorking" is a more vigorous grower and a heavier pro- 

 ducer than York Imperial. The York Imperial has been the outstand- 

 ing apple in certain districts for several decades, but it will soon be 

 replaced in prominence by its off-spring, the "Red Yorking."
