Champion Peach is sweet and of high quality 
PEACHES, continued 
ELBERTA. 
Ripens middle of Au¬ 
gust. The old reliable 
Peach, of which more 
are planted and from which more money has been 
made than from any other variety. The fruit is 
large to extra large; golden yellow, with brilliant 
shades of red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet. Tree vigor¬ 
ous, sturdy, hardy; thrives in widely differing loca¬ 
lities. For years Elberta has been the standard 
market Peach both in southern and northern mar¬ 
kets, and it has a place in the estimation of com¬ 
mercial growers and the users of Peaches which will 
be hard to fill with any other variety; in fact the 
Elberta is the one variety that every fruit-stand 
customer seems to know. No other Peach has ever 
been introduced which fills all the requirements of 
a commercial Peach with such success as Elberta, 
in size, appearance and quality. (See page 24.) 
. This fruit of yours is very fine, and excellently packed; 
m fact, it is in a class by itself, we think, and our idea 
was that, at least, during the week, we could draw 
$3.50 per crate for the Elbertas.— York & Whitney 
Co., Boston., Mass., August 21, 1914. Later.—Today’s 
car closed out at $3.25.

GREENSBORO. Ripens June 25-July 4. 
7 --- Many growers consider 
this to be the best of the early Peaches. It has 
proved its value in our test orchard, and with com¬ 
mercial growers, many of whom rightly consider it 
a most important part of their orchards. Being 
somewhat tender, it requires extra care in shipment, 
but it reaches the market when Peaches are in 
strong demand, and it amply repays any attention 
given to its handling. In every way it has proved 
. its worth in all parts of the country. The fruit is 
| extra large for such an early Peach and one of the 
| handsomest, being of a rich yellowish white, with a 
| crimson cheek; the flesh is white, exceedingly tender 
| and of fine quality; ripens perfectly to the pit. Free. 
HARRISON CLING. Ripens Sept. 10-25. We 
have tested this new variety in our orchards for a 
number of years and are convinced that it is one of 
the best of the midseason Clings. The fruit is un¬ 
usually large; white skin mottled with crimson; 
flesh white, and of delicious flavor. 
HILEY ( T E f rl y Belle.) Ripens June 25- 
;-— July 4. This Peach is of large size,

prices. It should be planted freely with such sorts 
as Elberta, Belle of Georgia and other late sorts.
