CTo11 O a f* (La Duke). This new introduction, as the name implies, is a 
■ wl lllw I IllLlLk Hale which is self-fertile, thereby doesn’t require cross pollina- 
tion. Fruit growers everywhere have been asking for a Hale Peach that would produce profitable 
crops. The Fertile-Hale will produce full crops of beautiful large Peaches, entirely free from all 
so-called buttons so prevalent in crops of J. H. Hale. Trees are far more vigorous and hardier 
in bud than J. H. Hale. Ripens a week later than Elberta, coming on the market when the 
bulk of the Peaches are gone, therefore bring a premium price. Color yellow, with deep carmine 
blush. Good shipper. Splendid market variety. Be sure to include some of these trees in your 
orchard planting. 
This wonderful variety came through the extremely cold winter of 1936 with flying colors, 
producing over 75% of a crop in most sections and practically 
100% in Michigan. Further, the extreme drought of the past 
summer did not have any severe effect on its size, maturing their 
normal large-size fruit. It commanded almost a dollar more per 
bushel than some of the better kinds offered on the market. 
We know that it is a money maker, and you will be the loser, 
if y ou do not get started with this exceptional variety. This 
variety is protected under U. S. Plant Patent. 
Note what one of the largest and most prominent fruit growers 
in this section, Mr. J. Ginter, Sodus, Michigan, says about 
Fertile-Hale: 
I purchased 200 trees of this variety in 1933, harvesting the 
first crop this year, and found that the Fertile-Hale is the most 
outstanding and best Peach in my entire orchard, which con¬ 
sists of 20 acres; I sold my entire crop of this variety on the 
Benton Harbor matket and received 90c per bushel more than 
I did on all other kinds. 
Enclosed find my check, and book my order for spring 
delivery, for 130 Fertile-Hale trees. Surely would like to plant 
more if I had the room.” 
HAf I ntr °duced by Michigan State Ex- 
IIULL ( inVLll periment Station. A cross between 
South Haven and J. H. Hale. Freestone. Strong grower, very 
hardy, heavy bearer; excellent fine flavor. Ripens ten days earlier 
than Elberta. The best New Yellow Freestone we have seen in 
years. 
DIA ACA ACM This variety is protected under 
IMU'UOU VJCI f J U. S. Patent No. 84. Ripens 
about ten days after J. H. Hale, during that period when there 
are few good Peaches on the market. This new Peach has the 
extreme large size of J. H. Hale, is more highly colored, of 
finer grained texture, firmer, and of better general quality. Yellow 
freestone Peach. The Whitten-Ackerman Nurseries are specially 
licensed by the patent owner, to grow and distribute this fine 
new yellow freestone peach; but to eight states only, viz.: Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and 
Iowa. 1-year, 7/16 in., 3- to 3%-ft. trees, 60c each; 10 for 
$5.00, net—not subject to any cash discount. 
Extra Early Yellow Free- 
T „ 7 -- —-stone. Introduced by New 
Jersey Experiment Station. Wouldn't you like to grow a yellow, 
freestone Peach, with all the good points of Elberta, plus much 
improved flavor, but ripening a month earlier than Elberta? 
Here s the Peach you’ve been looking for! Extra early, fine 
flavor, self-fertile, grows well wherever Peaches can be raised. 
Very hardy, regular bearer and a good grower. Has no superior 
among Early Yellow Freestones.
