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 orcharding 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 removed 
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 pack- 
ing, but some varieties will spoil in spite of all your efforts, while 
others will survive hard knocks and rough treatment and come up 
smiling. MHiley 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 seldom 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. .
