Brackett 



Ripens after Elhertn. Ornuf/e-yelloic skiu. tinged with car- 

 mine. Flesh is deep yeUoic, highly flavored. Size is large to very 

 large. Freestone. 



Some rears ago a well-known nurspry firm of Georgia disr-overed 

 a new variety of peach possessing certain points of quality and 

 high fruiting capacity that made it more than usually desirable. 



Not only was this new variety tested by the discoverers, but 

 trees were sent to fruit growers in other parts f)f the country with 

 a request that the newcomer be carefully tested and accurate rec- 

 ords kept of its performances. When the reports came in they 

 indicated that thf- new peach was even better than expectpd. and 

 the firm felt justified in introducing this new variety under the 

 name of "Brackett." 



The American Pomological Society set its stamp of approval 

 on the Brackett and entered the name on the records of the 

 Society. Most Northern nurserymen failed to sense the value of 

 this new variety, but a thorough trial in our orchards convinced 

 us that the Brackett is worthy of general planting. 



BRACKETT A THREE-POINT WINNER- 

 IN SIZE, IN QUALITY 



-IN COLOR, 



Brackett ripens in our big commercial orchards a few days after 

 Elberta. The fruit is rich yellow, with dark carmine cheek. Tht 

 size runs fully as large or larger than Elberta. and fruits weighing 

 5 to 6 ounces are common. Flesh is deep yellow, extremely juicy 

 and is absolutely freestone. In every case the Brackett has proved 

 the equal of Elberta. and in many cases the Georgia growers con 

 sider it a more profitable sort. One Southern peach grower 

 claims that Brackett averages 50 cents a bushel higher than other 

 varieties. 



We have a limited stock of trees which have been grown with 

 extreme care. This block of Brackett was propagated from buds 

 cut in our own bearing orchards ; therefore we know the trees are 

 absolutely true to name. The commercial grower or the home 

 orchardist who plants the Brackett will make no mistake either 

 from the standpoints of production or profit.
