Champion Peach is sweet and of high quality 

 PEACHES, continued 



ELBERTA. 



Ripens middle of Au- 

 gust. The old reliable 

 Peach, of which more 

 are planted and from which more money has been 

 made than from any other variety. The fruit is 

 large to extra large; golden yellow, with briUiant 

 shades of red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet. Tree vigor- 

 ous, sturdy, hardy; thrives in widely differing loca- 

 Hties. For years Elberta has been the standard 

 market Peach both in southern and northern mar- 

 kets, and it has a place in the estimation of com- 

 mercial growers and the users of Peaches which will 

 be hard to fill with any other variety; in fact the 

 Elberta is the one variety that every fruit-stand 

 customer seems to know. No other Peach has ever 

 been introduced which fills all the requiremxents of 

 a commercial Peach with such success as Elberta, 

 in size, appearance and quahty. (See page 24.) 



This fruit of yours is very fine, and excellently packed ; 

 in fact, it is in a class by itself, we think, and our idea 

 was that, at least, during the week, we could draw 

 S3. 50 per crate for the Elbertas. — York & Whitney 

 Co., Boston., Mass., August 21, 1914. Later. — Today's

GREENSBORO, ^^p^^^ J^^^ 25-juiy 4. 



Many growers consider 



this to be the best of the early Peaches. It has 

 proved its value in our test orchard, and with com- 

 mercial growers, many of whom rightly consider it 

 a most important part of their orchards. Being 

 somewhat tender, it requires extra care in shipment, 

 but it reaches the market when Peaches are in 

 strong demand, and it amply repays any attention 

 given to its handhng. In every way it has proved 

 its worth in all parts of the country. The fruit is 

 extra large for such an early Peach and one of the 

 handsomest, being of a rich yellowish white, with a 

 crimson cheek; the flesh is white, exceedingly tender 

 and of fine quality; ripens perfectly to the pit. Free. 



HARRISON CLING. Ripens Sept. 10-25. We 

 have tested this new variety in our orchards for a 

 number of years and are convinced that it is one of 

 the best of the midseason Clings. The fruit is un- 

 usually large; white skin mottled with crimson; 

 flesh white, and of delicious flavor.
