Here is a fine NEW Peach 
PEACHES 
grow rapidly 
and every home should 
have its own peach trees 
we want you to tryi 
Rir» Oiio A new - Patented variety. 
USD In this variety all the fine 
qualities of the J. H. Hale have been improved. 
Rio Oso Gem has a finer flavor than J. H. Hale, 
is a finer texture, and the fruit is better col¬ 
ored on the surface, ripening in the same orch¬ 
ard with J. H. Hale. Rio Oso Gem is of the 
same large size as J. H. Hale. Of still greater 
importance to the growers is the fact that Rio 
Oso Gem ripens two weeks after J. H. Hale, 
therefore at a time when all the finer varieties 
of freestone peaches are off the market. Just 
as hardy as J. H. Hale, this new peach is no 
doubt the greatest fruit novelty of the year. 
We can furnish you fine 2 to 4 ft. trees for 65c 
each, postpaid. 
NEW 
RIO OSO GEM 
PEACH 
Our extra fine, well-rooted peach trees will bring 
you a crop after 2 or 3 years, which means quick re¬ 
turns from your peach trees, and there are no peaches 
as good as those you grow right at home. The trees 
do not take much space—you can plant them as close 
together as 15 or 18 feet. A few trees at least should 
be in every garden or farm orchard. We are offering 
you the finest and most complete collection of time- 
tested and highly recommended varieties.

r„„i„ Freestone. An excellent mar- 
L.rawtOra 8 ILarly k e t peach, large, yellow, red 
cheek. Flesh yellow and sweet. A good bearer: rip¬ 
ens in August. 
FIKoida FREESTONE. This is the most popular 
£ilDCl market variety, and grown in large num¬ 
bers in southern orchards. Large with red cheek, 
flesh yellow, firm, good quality. For Nebraska, Kan¬ 
sas and Iowa, we can hardly recommend Elberta for 
regular bearing. In these states you will be more 
pleased with Champion, Bokara, J. H. Hale, Fitzger- 
old, or the new Rio Oso Gem. 
Freestone. About the same as the 
Ciariy EilDLl Id Elberta, ripening, however, about 
10 days earlier, and in the South considered a most 
profitable market peach. Also a favorite in eastern 
orchards. 
Freestone. This Is as hardy a yellow 
r lizgeraia freestone peach as we have. Fruit is 
medium size, of fine quality. Any place in the Middle 
West or wherever a peach tree must be hardy, plant 
Fitzgerald, J. H. Hale, Champion or Bokara No. 3. 
Fitzgerald ripens here in August. 
flianininn Freestone. White meated. the fruit is 
0 f medium size, the hardiest budded 
peac-h tree ever grown, and does well in the Middle 
West. Wherever Champion or Fitzgerald are not 
hardy, there is no need of growing another variety. 
Champion ripens here in August, bears extra well. If 
you care for a fine white-meated freestone peach for 
home use, the Champion will more than please you. 
Rnlram TV** Q Freestone. Fruit large, red with 
DUlvdrd liO. O yellow cheek, skin tough, flesh of 
good quality. A good peach for any place in the corn 
belt, and hardy. Ripens in September. 
J TT tt 0 i Freestone. Until the new Rio Oso Gem 
• Xluie was introduced, the J. H. Hale was 
without a rival in the field of large hardy peaches. It 
is a smooth, large yellow peach with carmine color¬ 
ing. Flesh dark yellow and firm. May be planted 
safely as far north as the southern half of Nebraska 
and Iowa. The Rio Oso Gem is just as hardy: the dif¬ 
ference is that the latter ripens about two weeks 
later than J. H. Hale and is of still better quality. 
Rio Oso Gem and J. H. Hale will make a wonderful 
combination for a long bearing season.
