PEACH TREES 
A fresh, ripe, home-grown 
Peach is mighty good. Peach¬ 
es picked off your own trees, 
good and ripe sure hit the spot. 
Peaches will grow over a large 
season with very little A care. 
They come into bearing very 
young, two years after plant¬ 
ing they should bear.

Trees 
ELBERTA —The great Ameri¬ 
can market peach; produces 
big, profitable crops. Fruit 
large, bright, attractive, yel¬ 
low with crimson shading; 
flesh firm and of good quality. Will ripen perfectly when picked green. One 
of the best for home or market use. Free stone. September. 
GOLDEN —Good size, golden yellow inside and out, of very good quality. 
Tree very hardy and a good bearer. Has proven to be a good variety 
here. September 10 to 15. 
J. H. HALE —Of large size, ripens earlier than Elberta, and is of good qual¬ 
ity. Color, golden yellow inside and out, with red cheek. September. 
CHAMPION —Fruit large, delicious, sweet, juicy; skin creamy white, with 
red cheek; handsome, hardy and productive, and a good shipper; adher¬ 
ing slightly to the stone. White flesh. August 15th.

Two New Outstanding Peaches for Our Cold Climate 
4-6 ft. trees —69c each; 3 for $1.92; 5 for $3.00 
SOUTH HAVEN —One of the newer peaches grown much in Michigan. 
It stands our cold winters better than any of the other varieties. 
Flesh golden yellow; rich and sweet; firm, excellent shipper and 
keeper; freestone; ripens 2 to 3 weeks ahead of the Elberta. Tree 
is hardy, healthy and is a vigorous grower and heavy producer. 
HALE-HAVEN —This is a cross of the J. H. Hale and the South Ha¬ 
ven, which develops a very large Peach of the Hale type and with 
the hardiness of the South Haven. We do not believe that Hale- 
Haven is quite as hardy as the South Haven, the fruit however, is 
much larger. Try a few trees of this new variety.
