In his report on his 1913 crop 
Mr. Hale says: 
“ .... from one measured acre of 133 
J. H. Hale peach trees we picked, Sept. 
14th, 748 bushels, or an average of 5 Vi 
bushels or 8 crates per tree, over 95 per 
cent of this fruit being high-class mer¬ 
chantable fruit, selling f. o. b. at the farm 
at $2.00 to $2.50 per bushel ....” 
From the same orchard the best grade of 
Elbertas brought but $1.25 per bushel. Sold 
by the basket or in carload lots, J. H. Hale 
peaches in open market invariably bring 50 
per cent to 75 per cent more than Elbertas. 
You can obtain J. H. Hale peach trees only from William P. Stark 
Nurseries, Stark City, Missouri. Write us and get genuine J. H. Hale peach 
trees propagated from buds cut by Mr. Hale from his bearing orchards. 
H. HALE 
Peach 
$1420 From One Acre of 
133 Bearing Trees— 
Note These Features: 
Size: The J. H. Hale is Yz to larger 
than Elberta, like a small cannon ball. 
Color: A rich, golden yellow, overlaid 
with carmine. 
Flesh: Solid and meaty as a cling, yet per¬ 
fect freestone. Firm, but delicate texture. 
Smooth, thick skin, tightly drawn. Does not 
“squash down” in the basket. Skin practi¬ 
cally fuzzless. 
Flavor: A luscious peach flavor, far supe¬ 
rior to Elberta. 
Shipping: Stands shipping better than 
any known peach. Shipments have been made 
from New York to California and back. 
Canning: Firm, rich flesh; holds shape 
in can. Gives brilliant, clear syrup and does 
not “rag.” Better flavor than famous Cali¬ 
fornia Lemon Cling. 
Hardiness: Hardier than any peach 
known—withstood adverse conditions last 
year that killed many trees of other varieties 
in same orchard. 
Adaptability: A success in every peach 
soil and climate. Has been tested for more 
than ten years and in more than 3,000 plant¬ 
ings. Ripens early. Hangs late. 
The largest and most complete brick packing 
house in the United States. Prompt service 
and safe delivery guaranteed.
