Hal-Berta GiantTrees Sold ONLY by Stark 
Our experts reported: “This peach is so marvelous that one must 
see this tree to get a real idea of how beautiful and BIG peaches 
can be. Not a single small peach on entire tree. These peaches have 
developed huge size with very little moisture. If moisture had been 
normal, they would have been STILL BIGGER!” 
This wonderfully BIG peach has all the delicious flavor and 
melting tender flesh of J. H . Hale (though ACTUALLY 30 Per Cent 
LARGER than Hale)—bears bumper crops like Elberta. 
Eye-witnesses of the behavior of the original Hal-Berta Giant 
I ree declare: “This 4-year-old tree bore 6 bushels—and half 
of these peaches WEIGHED NEARLY A POUND EACH! 
The tree began bearing when 2 years old.” 
This proved to be the Yellow PeacH for Which We Had Been Searching 
for 15 Years!—A Yellow Freestone Peach to Follow J. H. Hale and 
Elberta —and lengthen the high-profit-season for growers. 
Hal-Berta Giant Peach Trees (Sold ONLY By Stark) are remarkably VIG¬ 
OROUS and HARDY . Young Hal- Berta Giant Trees came through 26 degrees 
below zero two winters ago—in fine shape where many Elberta and Hale trees 
were winter killed. 
Burbank’s JULY ELBERTA 
Very early Yellow Free. This remarkable brilliant red cheeked, 
yellow fleshed peach has made an amazing record in our Burbank- 
Stark 'Pest Orchards. It created a sensation at the Michigan Peach 
Conference at South Haven Experiment Station and in orchards 
throughout the country. It has proved to be the long-looked-for 
very early yellow true freestone peach—ripening about 20 days 
before Elberta—half way between June Elberta and Stark Early 
Elberta. A beautiful, big vivid-all-over-red peach, with flesh of pure 
golden yellow, rich in flavor, tenderand juicy in texture. Much better 
quality than old Elberta. Splendid for shipping, eating fresh or 
canning. Leading authorities are confident that this truly great 
peach will greatly increase peach profits. 
The trees of this variety have proven to be the most prolific bearer 
of all the great Burbank peaches in our Test Orchards—bearing 
heavy crops of verv uniform, extra large peaches ripening just at the 
time really fine peaches bring highest market prices. U. S. Patent has 
been granted on this marvelous Peach. 
GOLDEN ELBERTA CLING 
Mid-season. The sweetest, finest, most delicious and most beautiful 
yellow fleshed clingstone peach the world has ever known. The find¬ 
ing and introduction of this great variety covers a search that took 
us into every peach section of the United States, and the testing of 
hundreds of promising sorts— BUT WE FOUND IT! The original 
tree grew in Arkansas—often called “America’s Greatest Experi¬ 
ment Station.” After years of extensive tests, we can now unquali¬ 
fiedly recommend it. The fruit looks very much like Stark Early 
Elberta—about the same shape, the same marvelous golden color— 
BUT IT IS A PERFECT CLINGSTONE. Quality superb, honey 
sweet juice and flesh—the most alluring quality of any clingstone.
