VARIETIES LISTED IN ORDER OF RIPENING 
ELBERTA. (13) Without question the greatest 
commercial peach ever introduced. It has proven 
its ability to adapt itself to varied climatic and soil 
conditions throughout the U. S. and Canada, whether 
the climate is hot or cold, whether the soil is light 
sand or heavy clay, Elberta can be depended on to 
give you fine results. There is no prettier peach 
when grown under ideal conditions. 
The tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty 
and very productive under most conditions. The 
fruit is large to very large, a freestone, skin a deep 
golden yellow and highly colored. The skin is 
tough and the flesh, while tender and juicy, is of 
such texture that the ELBERTA IS FAMOUS FOR 
ITS ABILITY TO CARRY TO DISTANT MARKETS. 
The quality is classed as good, and the slight bitter 
flavor is preferred by many. It is estimated that 
50% of all peaches planted are Elberta. As improv¬ 
ed types and varieties are introduced this ratio is 
lowered but after all is said ELBERTA STILL RE¬ 
MAINS TIIE WORLDS LEADING COMMERCIAL 
PEACH. We are propogating our Elberta trees 
from selected orchards of great bearing records and 
to the old original type Elberta. This year we cut 
budwood from 43 year old Elberta trees which had 
borne 38 years without a crop failure. We know 
our Elberta trees will give you results. 
J. H. HALE. (13a) Skin deep crimson, smooth 
type without fuzz, flesh golden-yellow, firm, has 
delicious flavor. Valuable as a commercial peach. 
Will ship nearly as well as an apple. Ripens a few 
days before Elberta. Self-sterile blossoms. 
GAGE ELBERTA. (13b) A disease resistant bud 
sport of the famous Elberta peach. This splend d 
peach originated in the orchards of Mr. John Gage 
near Texico, Illinois. Recommended for resistance 
to bacterium pruni. The tree grows thrifty as the 
Elberta and looks much like the old time Elberta. 
Ripens 2 to 3 days after the regular Elberta. 
THE BRACKETT PEACH. (14) This is a com¬ 
paratively new variety in some sections, but has been 
tried and proven one of the most profitable peaches 
hi the South. Its season is about five days after 
Elberta, with a beautiful orange-yellow skin tinged 
with carmine. Flesh is a deep yellow and much 
higher flavored than Elberta. This peach sizes up 
well under heavy crops and is equal to Elberta as a 
shipper. A perfect freestone. 
SHIPPERS LATE RED (Big Red. (14a) 
Large, highly colored attractive red, yellow fleshed 
freestone. Quality peach of distinct Hale type. 
Ripens just after Elberta and J. H. Hale. A good 
shipping peaeh, very hardy. Recommend highly 
for a peach to follow the Elberta. 
HOPE FARM. (15) Introduced by us in 1925. 
A large white fleshed freestone peach of superior 
quality. Follows the Elberta about five days in rip¬ 
ening. Partially self-sterile. Fine for roadside mar¬ 
ket. 
WILMA. (15a) Very large, late yellow freestone 
peaeh, fine color, good quality, ripens 5 to 8 days 
after Elberta. Tree hardy. 
CRAWFORDS LATE (Free). (16) Large, 
roundish, oval, yellow with broad red cheeks, flesh 
yellow, very good. 
ROBERTA (Augbert). (16a) Very similar to 
Elberta except its season. One week to 10 days 
later. 
IRON MOUNTAIN. (17) Free, white, medium 
to large size, color poor, white with slight blush, 
good quality, good keeper. 
LIZZIE. (17a) Distinct Elberta type peach, 
very large, freestone, yellow flesh, excellent quality. 
Ripens 12 to 16 days after Elberta. 
SALBERTA. (18) Large yellow freestone peach, 
Elberta type, good color and quality similar to Ro¬ 
berta. Ripens 1 week later. 
HEATH CLING (Cling). (18a) Very large, 
creamy white with delicate red blush, flesh white, 
juicy and sweet. Valuable for canning. 
SALWAY (Free). (19) Large, round, deep yel¬ 
low with rich red cheeks, flesh yellow, firm. Trees 
hardy. Late market sort. 
KRUMMEL’S OCTOBER. (20) Fine peach, 
best late yellow freestone, ripening after Salway or 
6 weeks after Elberta. Medium large, almost round, 
deep yellow, carmine shaded, very firm. 
Yearling Peach Trees or June Bud Peach Trees 
Which Will You Plant? 
We are going to present a few facts about the growing of peach trees by 
these two methods and let you be the judge as to which type of tree you should 
select for planting. 
1. Yearling peach, or dormant bud peach as they are sometimes called, are 
produced by planting the peach seed in the fall, allowing the seedling to grow 
during the following summer, the tree then being budded in August, as a rule. 
This bud remains dormant until the following spring when the seedling top is 
removed and the bud allowed to grow, giving the bud a full summer to make 
its growth and maturity. In the yearling tree you have a root growth of two 
years and a top growth of one year. 
2. June budded peach are produced by planting the seed in the fall, budding 
these seedlings early the following summer in Slay or early June. The bud 
grows very fast in the seedling tree at this season of the year. At the time of 
budding, the seedling is cut of broken in the top to throw the strength of the 
tree to the bud, and as soon as the bud starts, the seedling is further broken 
down, and in a short time the entire top of the seedling is removed. As the 
bud starts its growth and continues to grow, it starts to branch. The branches 
are suckered out to a certain height, destroying the leaf germ where the limb 
is removed, so that it will never or rarely start a new limb at this point. This 
is done principally to force the tree to a greater height. Under favorable con¬ 
ditions Tune budded trees grow very rapidly and in most cases are dug and sold 
to the planters that same year, thus giving him only a one year root and a one 
year top to the tree. 
We are told that a tree gathers many @f Its vital elements from the air, 
which are stored in the body and root system so that it can come back with full 
vitality after going into the dormant stage during the winter months. This is a 
logical fact which has been proved many, many, times. Considering this fact, 
we at once recognize that the yearling trees have a definite advantage over the 
June budded trees because the seedling has a full year of growth to gather 
these elements, and the new buds have a full years growth to gather these im¬ 
portant elements from the air, whereas the June budded seedlings grow less 
than three months, and then go for a period of four to six weeks during the best 
of the growing season when there is no leaf surface whatever on the tree, to 
gather these elements, thus compelling the the tree to gather what it can of these 
important elements in a period of less than ninety days after the bud starts to 
grow We know that millions of June budded trees have been planted in or¬ 
chards of Central and Southern areas, and many of them develop rapidly into 
fine orchards, due principally to the long growing season in those sections. How¬ 
ever in recent years definite proof has been established that yearling trees planted 
at the same time as June budded trees have out-grown and produced heavier 
crops earlier than the June budded trees. Definite proof has been established, 
also, that a better orchard tree can be developed from a yearling tree than a 
June budded type, due principally to the method employed in removing the 
lower limbs from the June budded trees, which results in destroying the body 
buds on the tree, where often one of the main scaffold branches of the tree 
should be formed. 
it has also been found that yearling peach trees have proved more disease 
resistant to many of the common diseases of the peach tree in the Southern 
peach producing areas. The yearling peach tree has a harder wood and a harder 
root system in which to store an abundance of vitality and natural stamina for 
resisting diseases, which the young and more tender wood of the June budded 
trees does not have, due to its very short growing life before being taken from 
the nursery row. 
These are simple facts which can be readily substantiated and which every 
planter should consider before buying his trees. It is true that June budded 
peach trees are usually cheaper, but can you afford to delay the development of 
your orchard for one or two dollars per acre? (This usually represents the 
difference in the cost of the two types of trees). Remember, your trees are the 
smallest cost you have in the development of your orchard. Plant Bountiful 
Ridge grown yearling peach trees this year. With our existing low prices we 
believe you will see the logic of the above statement and plant yearling trees.
