A Golden Opportunity Awaits The Man Who Plants HIGH QUALITY PEACHES 
; NOW! Our Population Is Growing Fast-43% INCREASE IN POPULATION 
In The Last 2S Years. U. S. Department Of Agriculture Census Shows Big

are always in demand at high prices.' And these 
improved rich flavored peaches help to greatly 
further increase the demand and consumption.. 
Grasp this opportunity to reap golden profits. 
Be sure to supply the fast growing market for high 
quality peaches — a market which is increasing 
every year. The public is demanding these in 
preference to old Elberta. 
Peach trees are easy to handle in the orchard. 
They take up very little space — planted 20 feet 
apart you can plant 108 peach trees in just 1 acre. 
They begin to bear and to pay profits at a very 
early age. Successful growers in every peach 
growing section of the country often report splen¬ 
did profits from three-year old trees which often 
pay for the entire cost of trees, planting and grow¬ 
ing of the orchard and a good profit on top of that 
— all from one crop on 3-year trees. Two year 
trees bear excellent crops. 
One Crop Paid For Orchard 
“I am herewith sending you some pictures of some J. H. 
Hale and Stark Early Elberta Peach Trees — three years 
old, taken in R. M. Orth’s orchard when he was gathering 
his second crop. These trees bore a real good crop at two 
years old — enough to pay all expenses on his orchard to 
date, and a good profit besides. This second crop on the 
same trees (when only 3 years old) ran from 5 to 8 bushels 
per tree and brought him at retail $1.50 per bushel — when 
peaches were very plentiful. People came from miles a- 
round to see this beautiful orchard of high quality, big pro¬ 
fit-making peaches. — J. W. Hill. Charleston. W. Va. 
“2 Year Trees Bore Profit Crop” 
“First crop of Stark Early Elberta and J. H. Hale paid 
for whole orchard the second year after planting,” Jub¬ 
ilantly report H. G. Hubbell & Son, Schuyler Co., N. Y. 
“We picked 50 bushels of peaches from these trees the 
second summer after planting the orchard and sold them at 
our roadside stand. Our receipts from their sale will near¬ 
ly pay for the 500 trees. We sold our J. H. Hale peaches 
for $2.50 a bushel even in a year of low prices. 
“We also sold all the large containers of Stark’s Early 
Elberta at $2.50 a bushel. Repeaters begged for them in 
bushel lots, but we made as wide distribution as possible 
this first year.” 
At no time in the last two generations have 
profit-prospects been so bright for the man who 
plants high quality peaches right NOW! Recent 
winters, with record-breaking low temperatures, 
followed by abnormally dry summers, have re¬ 
moved millions of older trees which have been sup¬ 
plying the public with peaches and very few trees 
have been planted to replace this enormous loss. 
During the last ten or fifteen years there have 
been relatively few commercial peach orchards 
planted, so that there doesn’t begin to be enough 
young trees coming on to supply our increasing 
population with the high quality peaches which 
$600 Net Profit From 2-3 Acre 
Here is a glowing report from Mr. Louis H. Christ, of 
Uefferson County, Missouri, who is clearing $600.00 from 
% Acre planted to 30 Burbank’s July Elberta and 40 Hal- 
Berta Giant Peach Trees. 
“In 1933 I decided to try a small planting of your 
Burbank July Elberta and Hal-Berta Giant Peach Trees. 
Last year—1937—both of these varieties bore and brought 
me highest prices. Although there was a big fruit crop of 
all kinds and prices for ordinary peaches were relatively 
low, I sold my July Elberta and 200 bushels of Hal-Berta 
Giant peaches right here at my orchard for prices ranging 
from $2.25 to $2.50 a bushel. 
“Again this year, in 1938 I have a bumper crop (In spite 
of serious late frosts) — 130 bushels from my 30 July 
Elberta trees which brought top prices and my 40 Hal- 
Berta trees are loaded again this year, and I am getting 
$3.00 to $3.50 a bushel right at my orchard, and can’t sup¬ 
ply the demand. 
“July Elberta and Hal-Berta Giant are two of the finest.” 
$1,000 Cash From Just Three Acres 
(Excerpt from Oct. 1937 Southern Planter Magazine) 
“One thousand dollars as a farm sideline certainly comes 
in handy” commented R. S. Kenner of Route 4, Lincolnton, 
N. C., in telling the other day about the returns he secured 
fiom his small peach orchard — practically at no extra labor 
corTts,~as~ ;uT work' was”clbne in slack season or betweerrJOTTs 
by his regular farm help. 
“Mr. Kenner has 300 peach trees, four years old, that 
returned him exactly $1,000.00 in cash this year. He is so

My Debts” 
“I live 8 miles West of 
i , - Jf Weatherford on Bankhead 
Highway No. 1” says S. H. 
Beauchamp “on a hundred 
. arces of land which was only 
' •’ partly paid for when I set 
out my peach orchard. 
i he man who held the mortgage was constantly press¬ 
ing me to pay off the balance and when it looked like I 
as going to lose my land and what I had paid on it, I applied to 
8|r R. B. Alexander of Weatherford for a loan. He agreed to loan 
me the money provided I set out peach trees on the land. 
“In 1932 my crop of peaches paid all of my current expenses, all 
my over-due debts and left me enough cash to build and furnish a 
modern home. 
“Even in the drouth year of 1934 I sold 15,000 bushels of 
peaches.” 
“Sold $802.00 Worth of Peaches One Day from Roadside Stand” 
“Mayor LaFollette of Cornelius Oregon reported that on one day recently he 
sold $802.00 worth of fresh peaches from his roadside stand in front of his house.”

kets. All progressive peach growers are planting 
Golden Jubilee heavily. 
June Elberta (Mikado) 
ter years of searching and testing we have found 
June Elberta (Mikado) to be the best of its season. 
Trees are vigorous, young heavy bearers and hardy in 
blossom. Fruit semi-free-stone, big, handsome, high 
color, of excellent quality and resists rot. Unlike 
most extremely early sorts it is a first class shipper 
and because of earliness, vigor, beauty and quality will 
always command high prices. Much superior to Arp 
Beauty which it resembles. Record-Bearing Strain. 
“My June Elberta sold for $3.50 per bushel here 
while inferior kinds brought about half this price.”—

Stark Peach Trees the Best Grown 
We grow peach trees in tremendous quantities, as we 
take care of the business of careful far-seeing orchardists 
all over the United States. Experts select the land for our

everything is considered. The proper type of seed are used, bud¬ 
ding is according to our own carefully worked out plan.
