Elberta Peaches—Noted for Size, Beauty and Productiveness 
Elberta (Freestone.) Ripens here early in Septem- 
- ber, following closely up on Early Crawford. 
A beautiful, extra large golden yellow peach, with a brilliant 
red cheek, firm, j uicy, high flavored, rich and sweet. This is the 
best commercial variety, of which more have been planted 
and from which more money has been made than any other 
variety. For years it has been the standard market variety 
and its place in the estimation of commercial growers would 
be hard to fill with any other variety, for no other peach has 
yet been introduced that will fill all the requirements of a 
commercial peach with such success as the Elberta. In 
addition to its high quality, large size and attractive appear¬ 
ance, the Elberta has a tough skin and consequently does 
not bruise easily and ships exceedingly well. Some varieties 
of recent introduction have been counted as “better than 
Elberta," but Elberta still remains the peer of all commercial 
peaches, and from present indications will hold this place 
undisputed. 
An old patron writes: “Three acres of Elbertas—150 trees 
— produced 2,700 baskets, which I sold for $1.00 per basket, 
or $2,700.00—which is $900.00 per acre." 
Hale Peaches—A Notable New Variety 
Hale (Freestone.) This notable new variety of peach 
■ is very large in size and is globular in shape. In 
color it is a deep, golden yellow overlaid with bright carmine. 
The skin is thick, smooth and without fuzz and is tightly 
drawn over the solid flesh. The flesh is deep yellow, fine 
grained, firm, tender and with a very delicious flavor. It is 
of the Early Crawford type, ripening a little later than Early 
Crawford and about a week ahead of Elberta. The trees 
are strong, vigorous growers and are unusually hardy. Re¬ 
ports indicate that due to its solid flesh it is an exceedingly 
good shipper, and great things are expected of this new Hale 
peach as a commercial variety. Valuable also for the home 
garden.
