POSTPAID 
The J. H. Hale is one of the world’s finest 
freestone Peaches, a worthy member of the 
great triumvirate along with Golden Jubilee 
and Elberta. It ripens between these two, and 
fills in the gap with exceptionally large, gold' 
en yellow fruit. The skin of the J. H. Hale is 
overlaid with carmine, making it a more color' 
ful Peach than the Elberta. A distinction of 
this Peach is that it has no fuzz, the skin be' 
ing smooth. J. H. Hale trees are very produc' 
tive, and the fine appearance and large size 
of the fruit give it a high market value.

Other Favorite Varieties 
Sears offer only the choicest of early, midsummer 
and late ripening varieties of Peach trees. All hardy 
stock from famous nurseries, but we do not recom' 
mend planting peaches in regions of extreme cold. 
Set Peach trees 16 to 18 feet apart, and plant on 
northern or western exposure, so that they will not 
bloom ahead of late frosts. 
Peach trees are fast stepping away from so'called fruit 
belts. They grow successfully in a wide range of soils—- 
sandy loam, welbdrained gravelly loams and sand. 
Early Ripening 
Carman (White semi'freestone): A great favorite. Good size; white 
with red blush. Bears abundantly; hardy and vigorous. Ripens July. 
Rochester (Freestone): Extra early Peach. Large fruit. Deep 
golden yellow skin with red cheek. Very juicy. Ripens late July. 
Early Elberta (Freestone): Very large, high quality; lemon-yellow. 
Sweet, fine grained flesh. Ripens a few days earlier than Elberta. 
Champion (Freestone). Good size and quality. Skin is creamy white 
with red blush; flesh white, sweet and delicious. Ripens in July. 
Mayflower (Semi'freestone): One of the very earliest varieties. 
Bright yellow with flesh of delicious flavor. Ripens in July. 
Now is the Time to Plant! 
It is a fact well known among nurserymen and 
commercial orchardists, that the planting of new 
peach orchards has declined to a marked degree in 
the past few years. Statistics gathered by the 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricub 
tural Economics, show that there was a decline in 
five years in the total peach tree planting, includ' 
ing trees of bearing age and those not of bearing 
age, of approximately eight million trees in the 
states east of the Mississippi River. 
Such a marked decline can mean only one 
thing—a reduction in the fruit crop. With a re' 
duced fruit crop must naturally come higher 
prices. Therefore, we believe that trees planted 
now will come into bearing during a period of 
high fruit prices. A small investment in a peach 
orchard should bring handsome returns in a few 
years. Plan to plant a peach orchard this year! 
Midsummer Ripening 
Belle of Georgia (White freestone): Handsome, large, white blushed 
with red, excellent quality, hardy; best white Peach. Good ship' 
per. Ripens August 15th. 
South Haven (Freestone): Very popular in Michigan where it was 
recently introduced. Unusually hardy and very productive. Ripens 
about August 15th. 
Late Ripening 
Heath Cling: White, tinged next to the sun. Large, firm, juicy. 
Fine flavor. Ripens about October 1st. 
Late Crawford (Yellow freestone): A high quality, large, yellow 
Peach, scarcely equalled in flavor and adaptable to a wide range 
of soils and climate. 
State variety wanted. Postpaid.
