June Elberta Earliest-of-all Yel¬ 
low Feaches. — r or 
years peach growers have been asking for a 
large YELLOW FLESH ED PEACH TH AT 
RIPENS EXTREMELY EARLY. We 
have searched America for a peach of this 
class, have tested many, but not until we 
fruited JUNE ELBERTA, did we find one 
that we could whole-heartedly recommend. 
Ripens about with Red Bird Cling. These 
two peaches make a great money-making 
combination. Both ripen about 40 to 45 
days before Elberta —and a man who has 
an orchard of them can put on the market 
the BEST EARLY WHITE-FLESHED 
AND THE BEST EARLY YELLOW- 
FLESHED PEACH GROWN. 
A semi-freestone; big handsome peach, 
high color, delicious quality, ships well. 
Trees are vigorous, young and heavy bearers 
and blossoms very hardy— brings highest 
prices. 
“My June, Elberta sold for S3.50 per 
bushel here while inferior kinds brought 
about half this price.”—J. S. Smith, Cabell 
County, W. Virginia. 
Krummel October £ a / f 51 
Yellow 
Freestone. Greatest of all late yellow peaches. 
The peach that ripens after all other good 
peaches are gone — reaches market at the 
time when it has no competition. Always 
brings highest prices. 
Large—almost as round as J. H. Hale, 
deep yellow with blush of carmine. No peach 
is sweeter or better—no bitterness next to 
pit. Flesh firm, fine texture—ships perfectly. 
Canning quality the best. (Introduced by 
Stark Bro’s.) Ripens about 40 days after 
Elberta. 
“Krummel October is perhaps the best 
late yellow freestone. Thrives in all localities 
where peaches are grown—a little later than 
Salway and a better peach. Tree hardy, 
dependable cropper. Krummel should be in 
every family orchard.”—Missouri State 
Exp. Sta. “The best paying peach I know.” 
—N. Waterhout, St. Louis Co., Mo. 
OWer The earliest good 
peach and worthy of a 
place in every home orchard—white fleshed, 
red cheek, semi-cling, good dependable 
tree. 
Red Bird Cling ^ liRst Red ~ 
° W kite Clin g. 
“The Greatest Money-Maker, Earliest, 
the Largest and Best of all commercial 
peaches ripening before Stark July 
Elberta”. Size immense, averaging almost 
large as J. H. Hale—perfectly round, “Red 
as fire”, ships better than Elberta—and 
from the time we introduced it, has topped 
all early markets. Brings double price of 
Elberta and other standard varieties. 
If you want a very early peach, there is 
really ONLY ONE, for Red Bird Cling 
stands alone as the best. Ready to ship 
when the markets are bare of good peaches 
—bringing as high as $4 to $6 per bushel. 
Ripens 45 days ahead of Elberta. 
“57 Red Bird Peach trees netted me $669, 
covering about Yi acre of land.”—J. E. 
Eggers, St. Louis Co., Mo. 
Late Elberta 
Late Yellow Free¬ 
stone. (Stark Rex 
Strain) Elberta type ripening about 21 to 
28 days later than old Elberta. Better 
quality than Elberta, somewhat larger. 
Fills gap between Hal-Berta and Krummel 
October. Highly flavored, sweet, no bitter¬ 
ness at pit. Ships perfectly, does not rot, 
good appearance on markets. Many growers 
report it one of their surest late market 
profit-makers. By planting this with Hal- 
Berta the ripening season can be lengthened 
four weeks. 
Early Yellow Free¬ 
stone. A peach ripen¬ 
ing 12 to 15 days ahead of Elberta. Fruit 
large, handsome, juicy, sweet. Tree is a 
strong grower and productive. Rochester 
ripens when peach prices are high. 
Shippers ’ Late Red M * d " 
1 1 season 
Yellow Freestone. A red blushed, yellow 
peach of great size, ripening 10 days after 
Elberta. Tree bears well, fruit of excellent

s e a - 
son White Cling. Creamy-white fleshed 
peach of the Heath type. Ripens mid¬ 
season. Flesh snow white clear to pit, fruit 
medium large, very handsome appearance.

little sugar. Tree hardy, good bearer, and 
ripens about 7 days after Elberta. 
Stark Heath Cling Late White 
* Cling. An 
Extra Large, selected, tested, Record- 
Bearing strain of White Heath, 40 days
