One of the Most Delicious of All Fruits

plum. .In other ways it is more like a peach. It is of 
rich, delicious flavor, juicy and melting, and highly

peach as a dryer and makes excellent preserves. The 
Nectarine is as hardy as the peach and requires the 
same culture.

NEW HARDEE PEACH 
Horticulturists and scientists from all sections of the coun¬ 
try have hailed the Hardee as the most important Peach dis¬ 
covered in the past 25 years. The large fruit is slightly 
elongated, of the Elberta type, and ripens with Elberta. It 
is yellow, freestone, highly colored and of fine flavor and 
quality. The thick skin makes it an excellent keeper and 
shipper. 
In addition to its other superior qualities, it claims one 
distinct characteristic which is outstanding above all other 
varieties, namely, hardiness. 
The winter of 1933-34 was the most severe in many years 
in the great peach state of New T York. The U. S. Govern¬ 
ment Department of Agriculture Bulletin, entitled “Statistics 
of the Peach Industry 1934“ in table 7, page 4, shows that 
70 per cent of all trees of bearing age were killed or injured 
by excessive cold. Witness the great crop failure in Michi¬ 
gan, Ohio and New York States in 1933-34. 
Through all of this, Hardee Peach came through unharmed 
and produced a bumper crop in 1934. For the home or- 
chardist and the commercial planter alike, Hardee Peach is 
the answer to crop uncertainty. It produces Peaches, and 
plenty of them, when other varieties fail. See colored photo 
on inside back cover page. 
Prices of Hardee Peach. Vis" caliper, $1.00 each; 10 for 
$9.00; 100 for $75.00, by express, not prepaid. 
18 to 24-inch stock, 80c each; 10 for $7.00; 100 for $60.00, 
by express, not prepaid. 
If shipment is wanted by parcel post, add 20c for the first 
tree, and 10c for each additional tree to cover postage and 
special packing. v
