YELLOW FLESH PEACHES—Prices Pages 28-30 
Tiirw* Earliest-of-all Yellow Peaches .—For years peach 
growers have been asking for a large YELLOW 
FLESHED PEACH THAT RIPENS EXTREMELY EARLY. We have 
searched America for a peach of this class, have tested many, but not 
until we fruited JUNE ELBERTA, did we find one that we could -whole¬ 
heartedly recommend. Ripens about with Red Bird Cling. These two 
peaches make a great money-making combination. Both ripen about 40 
to 45 days before Elberta —and a man who has an orchard of them can 
put on the market the BEST EARLY WHITE-FLESHED AND THE 
BEST EARLY YELLOW-FLESHED PEACH GROWN. 
A semi-freestone; big handsome peach, high color, delicious quality, 
ships well. Trees are vigorous, young and heavy bearers and blossoms 
very hardy— brings highest prices. 
“My June Elberta sold for $3.50 per bushel here while inferior kinds 
brought about half this price.”—J. S. Smith, Cabell County, W. Virginia. 
“On the grounds of Geneva, N. Y. Exp. Sta., June Elberta is wonder¬ 
fully attractive. Fruit large, handsome yellow, red blush on sunny side— 
one of handsomest of peaches. Quality good and equal to or an im¬ 
provement on Elberta.”—Prof. U. P. Hedrick (N. Y. Exp. Station). 
“June Elberta about a month earlier than Elberta. Fruit large and 
attractive.”—Stanley Johnson, Supt. South Haven, Mich., Exp. Sta.

Late Elberta 
Late Yellow Freestone. (Stark Rex Strain) Elberta 
type ripening about 21 to 28 days later than old 
Elberta. Better quality than Elberta, somewhat larger. Fills gap between 
Hal-Berta and Krummel October. Highly flavored, sweet, no bitterness at 
pit. Ships perfectly, does not rot, good appearance on markets. Many growers 
report it one of their surest late market profit-makers. By planting this 
with Hal-Berta the ripening season can be lengthened four weeks. 
Latest Yellow Freestone. Greatest of all 
ivrurnmci v/c Louer late yeIIow peaches . The peach that ripens 
after all other good peaches are gone—reaches market at the time when it 
has no competition. Always brings highest prices. 
Large—almost as round as J. H. Hale, deep yellow with blush of carmine. 
No peach is sweeter or better—no bitterness next to pit. Flesh firm, fine 
texture—ships perfectly. Canning quality the best. (Introduced by Stark 
Bro’s.) Ripens about 40 days after Elberta. 
“Krummel October is perhaps the best late yel'low freestone. Thrives in all localities where 
peaches are grown—a little later than Salway and a better peach. Tree hardy, depend¬ 
able cropper. Krummel should be in every family orchard.”—Missouri State Exp. 
Sta. “The best paying peach I know.”—N. Waterhout, St. Louis Co., Mo.
