ELBERTA Peach 
Giant Cherry 
Sweet. Luther Burbank described 
Black Giant as “Firm, deep blackish crlm 
son skin. Sugary sweet and delicious. Gigan¬ 
tic in size— 4 cherries weigh an ounce!” 
Our years of tests have proven it an 
enormous bearer, but fruit is uniformly 
huge despite tremendous crops! Flesh 
mouth-watering blood red, almost purple 
around small pit—very firm and meaty— 
marvelous shipper. Shipped clear across 
U. S., reached destination without a 
bad cherry in the box. 
Amazingly HARDY tree—bore after 14 degrees 
below zero in our Test Orchards in Northern Mis¬ 
souri. The HUGE size, wonderful beauty and 
enticing flavor of "Black Giant" Sugar Cherry 
makes it first favorite in Home Orchards. Its strik¬ 
ing appearance, supreme quality, record-breaking 
shipping ability and its great crops of gigantic 
cherries are the reasons why far-sighted commercial 
growers are planting Black Giant for the high class, 
high price markets. 
Late Honey-Heart Cherry 
U. S. PATENTED— "Beautiful, like Napoleon 
cherry—butinfinitelybetter,’’declared Luther Bur¬ 
bank. Our years of tests prove it the youngest, 
heaviest producing, big, sweet cherry Luther 
Burbank ever created. 
Skin is Red and Gold, becoming deep, rich, 
glowing red when fully ripe. Huge, heart shaped 
cherry—crisp, juice-laden, marvelously delicious 
flesh of transparent white (resembling color of 
White Clover honey). Perfect freestone. Wonder¬ 
ful shipper—arrived in splendid condition after 
2,000 miles in hot weather. Almost completely 
immune from brown rot and cracking. Tree strong 
grower, hardy, young bearer. Ripens here in Mo. 
about June 20. 
Burbank’s Very Early New Yellow Freestone 
July Elberta Was GRANTED A U. S. PATENT—In this 
wonderful fruit, Burbank created the Long Looked-For VERY 
Early Yellow TRUE FREESTONE Peach— ri pening about twenty-four 
days before Elberta—and between June Elberta and Stark Early Elberta. 
The fruit is beautiful, big, vivid all-over-red peach that makes its trees appear aflame with 
fire—most brilliant red of all peaches except perhaps Red Bird Cling. 
Flesh is pure golden yellow, rich in flavor, tender and juicy in texture. Far better quality 
than old Elberta. Superb for eating fresh or canning. 
Burbank’s July Elberta trees have 
demonstrated in our years of tests that they 
are the most prolific bearers in our Burbank- 
Stark Test Orchards —always bearing heavy 
crops of very uniform, extra large peaches ripening 
just at the time that really fine peaches bring 
highest market prices. The crop is well distributed 
over the tree—a characteristic which is very desir¬ 
able in a peach for either the commercial or home 
orchard. 
VERY HARDY —bore splendid crops even after 
14 degrees below zero in Northern Missouri. 
GIANT Freestone Peach 
A marvelous peach for your home orchard. Tre¬ 
mendous size— many 4 inches in diameter —a 
BIG Golden Peach with a thick, luscious, pure 
golden flesh brimming over with sugar-sweet juice, 
free from the slightest sharp acidity. A genuine 
TREAT to eat out of hand and simply glorious 
when served sliced and smothered with cream. 
HARDY—bore after very severe winter. 
PoQr>Vi q >'i nP Combination of yellow 
r Cdtlldl JI J1C Peach and white Nectar¬ 
ine—by Burbank. Big, blush-less, cameo-yellow 
freestone fruit—nearly fuzzless. Flesh firm, satur¬ 
ated with sugary juice. Tree vigorous—bore heavily 
in Missouri 2nd year. Ripens late August here. 
Early Honey-Heart Cherry 
Beautiful Red and Gold Sweet. Except for early 
ripening, very like Late Honey Heart. Fine for 
home markets. Tree very young, heavy bearer. 
Rainbow Stripe Cherry 
A remarkable novelty in cherries—originated on a 
dark red Lambert Cherry Tree with one limb bear¬ 
ing WHITE Lambert Cherries with a narrow 
Blood Red Stripe from stem to tip —a true bud- 
sport. Fruit huge, delightful flavor, ripens mid¬ 
season. Tree hardy, bears abundant crops uniformly 
large cherries shaped exactly like Lambert. Fine 
cherry for your home or commercial orchard. 
Great shipping cherry. Remy Strain. 
JULY GOLD Peach - 
Burbank’s ambition to create a yellow Freestone 
peach that would ripen very early in summer. 
Ripens two weeks ahead of regular Elberta. 
A BIG clear yellow-orange peach—2J£ to 3 in. 
across. Rich golden flesh blessed with entrancing 
flavor. Very young, heavy bearer— HARDY 
vigorous grower. Wonderful early peach for home. 
Blood Flesh Nectarine 
ONLY INDIAN BLOOD NECTARINE EVER 
DEVELOPED ! Rich color of 1 ndian Blood Peach— 
skin plum-smooth—blood red tender flesh marbled 
red and white near pit—wine-like flavor. 
“Flaming Gold” Nectarine 
The famous "Lost Nectarine” of Luther Burbank. 
The Wizard has here created a perfect blending of 
White Nectarine and a delicious yellow peach. 
Burbank declared: “The very best of my Nectar¬ 
ines.” Big as a Champion peach. Waxy, Fuzz-free 
skin of flaming wine-red, blushed over vivid gold. 
Rich golden orange flesh of Honey sweetness and 
Champagne sprightliness. Stone is perfectly free 
and small. Flesh firm. Splendid shipper— Does not 
crack. A luxury fruit for the home—one that as¬ 
sures great profits to commercial orchardists. 
Ripens about 1 week before Elberta peaches. 
Almost unbelievable young bearing ability: 
Young 1-yr. trees in our nursery, after the 
hardest, longest winter in 20 years (often 14 
degrees below zero) came through loaded with 
blossoms and set a tremendous crop. Will bear 
young, immense crops in Eastern and Mid-Western 
sections. Very resistant to disease, rot, etc.
