I normal, they would hav e been still bigger! 
This wonderfully BIG peach has all the delicious flavor and melt- 1 
ing tender flesh of J. H. Hale (though actually 30 percent larger] 
[than Hale)—bear bumper crops like Elberta. 
Eye-witnesses of the behavior of the original Hal-Berta Giant 
[Tree declare: “This 4-year-old tree bore 6 bushels — and half of 
these peaches weighed nearly a pound each: The trees began 
| bearing when 2 years old.” 
This proved to be the yellow peach for which we had been search¬ 
ing for 15 years. A yellow freestone peach to follow J. H. Hale and j 
Elberta—and lengthen the high-profit-season for growers.
