Harrisons’ Nurseries , Berlin, Maryland 
J. H. HALE (IIALE) —Mid-season, yellow, freestone, extra 
large, round, beautiful red coloring, firm, and of the highest 
quality and enticing flavor. Ripens about two or three days 
prior to Elberta. Hales are too large to properly pack in 
six-gallon carriers, but they make the most attractive and 
commanding appearance when packed ring-faced in bushel 
and half-bushel baskets. Hale quickly made a National 
reputation and is a strong competitor of Elberta, being just 
about as good a shipper as Elberta on long hauls. Prices 
on Hale and Elberta, with a large national crop, are about 
the same, hut on a short crop year Hales usually sell from 
25c to 50c, and sometimes 75c more per bushel on the larg¬ 
est wholesale markets. 
Our Hales are propagated direct from the original strain, 
the buds being selected and cut by our late Senator Orlando 
Harrison and his son, Mr. G. Hale Harrison, in person, with 
the late Honorable J. II. Hale of South Glastonbury, Conn., 
the originator of the J. H. Hale, who at that time was the 
“Peach King of America,” owning large commercial or¬ 
chards at South Glastonbury, Conn., and Fort Valley, Ga. 
Tree is somewhat dwarf, a moderate grower, and should 
be planted on the richest, best, well drained peach soil 
available. Hale needs more cultivation and fertilization 
than most varieties. To aid large crops, suggest planting 
Belle of Georgia or Hiley or Elberta along with J. H. Hale 
to insure the proper cross-pollenization.
