Good Peaches 
Burbank’s July Elberta 
A Great Hardy 
Peach 
JULY ELBERTA 
LOADED WHEN 
OTHERS FAIL 
All varieties of peaches 
were almost total failures this 
year because of a February freeze 
at 24 degrees while peaches were in 
bloom—EXCEPT BURBANK’S JULY 
ELBERTA. July Elberta had three-times 
as many peaches as they could carry and had 
to be thinned. 
I also have in my orchard June Elberta and 
Stark Queen Strain of Elberta. All are satisfactory. 
However, July Elberta bears when all othe rs fail. In fact, 
Burbank’s July Elberta is overloaded this year when all other 
varieties —both early and late—are either complete or near 
failures Therefore ,if I were planting more peach trees I would 
plan! Burbank’s July Elberta and Hal-Berta Giant. Logan Fain, 
Morris County, Texas. 
“I have 15 trees of July Elberta 4 years old. They stood 3 years of bad 
drouth and heat and the cold of Nebraska winters and still came through with 
a big money crop. If If set out any more peaches it will be Burbank’s July 
Llbcrta.” -IS. -wnrter yi» *r-r,Ti:, rsenra gka.

“A PEACH ORCHARD WHIPPED THE DEPRESSION 
FOR JOHN WILSON” 
The August issue of American Fruit Grower magazine contained an article under the above heading that gave 
a very comprehensive account of a man who owned a small farm, whose peach orchard brought him big quick re¬ 
turns during the years when average growers of farm crops were operating at heavy loss. 
This article was so clearly written and made so plain the details of cost, expense and income from this small piece of land that every 
man who owns a fairly good piece of well-drained land will be interested. The story is condensed here: 
In the Spring of 1934 Mr. Wilson bought a 20 acre Illinois farm for $1300.00 and that Spring he planted the bulk of it to peach trees. 
The first crop was harvested in 1937 (just three year* after planting-— peache* bear young) and careful records were kept up to the time 
this article was written. 
Eight crops have been harvested durng the past 10 years — and the report given by the owner shows what can be done with a 
peach orchard of good varieties, given good care. Here’s what the owner’s report shows: 
“Expressed in round numbers this orchard has earned a profit of almost $800 dollars for EACH YEAR since it began to bear — 
eleven years ago. This is net after deducting the cost of labor, spraying, pruning, buildings, equipment and each and every ex¬ 
pense of operating the orchard. Also it includes the years when small crops or no crop at all was grown. 
This fine net income has resulted from a total investment of only $2,208 — for that is the exact cost of land, trees, planting, 
care of orchard up to bearing age, and all equipment. He paid only $1300.00 for the 20 acres of land. 
Suppose you had planted 20 Acres of your land in peaches. 
ROADSIDE STANDS AND LOCAL 
MARKETS EXTREMELY PROFITABLE 
“In the past few years it has been my observation that road¬ 
side sales have given the growers more profit than any type of 
selling. M Ray Marsh, Associate Professor in Pomology, Urbana, 
Illinois. 
“Local sales of fruit either through roadside stands or direct 
from the orchards, where favorably located, not only enables the 
grower to get a good market price even in adverse seasons, but it 
also gives him more steady income throughout the harvest season. 
W. N. Scarff Sons (1500 Acres of Orchards.) 
“Roadside Markets” says R. P. Atherton in Rural New Yorker, 
“not only give extra cash to the farmer, but teach his children- 
who often have full charge of the stand-the value of money and 
gives them needed responsibility.” 
Turn Idle Acres Into A 
Profitable Peach Orchard 
Land OWnei'S have a great money¬ 
making opportunity now. With peach 
production decreasing, with the number of 
bearing trees far below the average, with 
the population increasing steadily, with pros¬ 
perity surely returning, there is a waiting market 
for high quality peaches. 
You have probably taken land out of cultivation 
of cotton, grain or tobacco crops. You can plant this idle land 
to fruit trees and still get full Government benefit payments — 
provided you also plant a cover crop such as clovers, vetch, cow- 
peas, soybeans, etc., on the same land that your young trees 
occupy. 
THE VARIETIES THAT HAVE MADE AND ARE 
MAKING BIG MONEY FOR GROWERS 
Let men thoroughly familar with varieties of peaches in the 
orchard and on the market help you. We know varieties and we 
know orchards. Our whole life (Four generations of Stark 
accumulated experience) has been given over to this work — and 
we offer our services to you — FREE. 
On these pages we have pictured and described 10 varieties 
of peaches that are the best money-makers. 
The test orchards of Stark Nurseries have tested practically all 
varieties of peaches known in this country. We know the strong 
points of all varieties — also their weakness. We are also familiar 
wi,h up-to-date orchard practices and we can help those who are 
interested. We will be at your service, and will gladly help guide 
you to success. 
We suggest that after you have read this circular you look over 
yoiir land NOW and pick out a piece you can spare for a peach 
wcl u.K— You etm-be assured that Peach Growing, with the present 
unprecedented shortage of bearing trees offers excellent QUICK 
profits — if you start right with good trees and the best improved 
Varieties. Stark Record Bearing Strain Trees of these Improved 
Stark Peaches Spell Success. 
Take the 10 High Class varieties we picture here. Select a 
list that will give fruit for many weeks. Start in with Red Bird 
Cling. Then follow along with June Elberta, Alton, Golden 
Jubilee, July Elberta, Stark Early Elberta, J. H. Hale Hal-Berta 
Giant, Late Elberta and Krummel October — with a moderate 
number of the glorious Golden Elberta Cling — and you will have 
good peaches ripening for many weeks. 
By using the succession of varieties outlined above, the selling 
season covers many weeks — this keeps your market alive and 
insures better prices for your fruit than you would receive if they 
all ripened at one time. 
Hal-Berta Giant 
World’s First 
Patented Peach 
“ONE ACRE OF PEACH TREES MADE ME MORE 
MONEY THAN 50 ACRES OF WHEAT” 
I have one acre planted to Hal-Berta Giant, Red Bird Cling and other Stark peach trees which 
made me a profit of about $536.00 this year. I got $2.00 a bushel for my Hal-Berta Giant peaches 
right at the orchard. My other peaches brought me $1.50 a bushel. 
This one-acre orchard, year after year brings me big profits — more than 40 to 50 acres of wheat 
and other grains which I grow on the rest of my 80-acre farm. E. H. Bekebrede, St. Charles Co., Mo. 
Hal-Berta Giant Brings Me Highest Prices 
“Hal-Berta Giant Peach is the best peach ir my orchard of 19 varieties, 
bushel for them, and this year sold my extra fancy Hal-Berta Giants for 5 
Bohland, Clark, Co., Ohio. — —— 
I get $2.25 to $2.50 a

BURBANK’S JULY EI BERTA 
Here is the OUTSTANDING HARDY EARLY PEACH OF 
THIS CENTURY-the product of the wizardry of the great 
Luther Burbank. It is now conning into bearing in orchards all 
over the country, and CREA FES A SENSATION wherever it 
fruits and wherever it goes to market. It is a VER'* HEAVY, 
SURE BEARER -peaches of good size — a flashing red and 
gold in color—EXTREMELY HARDY,—bearing when others 
fail—ripe about half way between June Elberta and Stark 
Early Elberta — a TRUE FREESTONE — pure golden yellow 
fle*h — of SUPERB QUALITY — holds up well and ships well. 
Should be largely planted along with the great Hal-Berta Giant. 
HAD MARKET FOR 1000 BUSHELS 
I can’t say too many good things about the Burbank’s July 
Elberta. They color all over several days before they begin 
to soften, and ship well. Quality is much better than regular 
Elberta — no bitterness at the pit. Could have sold thousands 
of bushels at $1.50 per bushel. Dr. B. Holland, Waynesboro, 
Texas. 
STARK EARLY ELBERTA 
Probably the most widely planted and best liked of all the mid¬ 
season yellow fleshed peaches. Known, liked and a profit-maker in 
orchards from Ocean to Ocean. It ripens ahead of Elberta, is a more 
attractive peach, MUCH BETTER quality and always commands pre¬ 
mium prices on market* everywhere. 
Early Elberta was introduced by Stark Bro’s over 25 years ago. 
It has been largely planted and has never disappointed, as it always 
pays. It is of immense size, glorious pure golden yellow, blushed with 
flashing red. It ripens 7 to 10 days ahead of Elberta, is more beauti¬ 
ful and much better in quality, fine for canning — no bitterness. It 
is a solid-fleshed peach that ships well and is dne of the best MONEY 
MAKERS on the list. One of the FOUR GREAT YELLOW PEACHES 
— Stark Early Elberta, J. H. Hale, July Elberta and Hal-Berta Giant. 
Should be a part of every peach orchard. Beware of other so-called 
Early Elberta* — many have been disappointed. Get the TRUE 
STARK EARLY ELBERTA. 
“Stark Early Elberta 13 inches in circumference and weighing 12 
ounces despite dry season.” Joe Colford, Arizona. 
“Handsomest peaches here this year.” E. W. Newberry, Conn. 
J. H. HALE 
A magnificent huge peach that has made a great record as a TOP 
MARKET PRICE PEACH — and it is still growing in popularity. 
One of the four great commercial money making varieties — J. 
H. HALE, STARK EARLY ELBERTA, JULY ELBERTA and HAL- 
BERTA GIANT. Here is an orchard combination that cannot be 
surpassed. J. H. Hale is a peach of great size (second only to Hal- 
Berta Giant), vivid carmine over golden yellow, almost perfectly 
round, fuzzless and as smooth as a glove. Flesh almost as SOLID 
AS A CLING,yet melting, tender, with exquisite flavor — no Elberta 
bitterness. Has proved its adaptability over a wide territory. One 
of the BEST SHIPPERS and holds up remarkably well on the 
market. 
“J. H. Hunsberger has been displaying about town samples of 
the largest peaches we have ever seen — they are J. H. Hale, weigh¬ 
ing one pound each, measuring 12 inches around.” Mt. Hope 
Clarion. 
“J. H. Hale came through 22 degrees below zero without injury. 
Very large, very vigorous. Rapid grower. N. P. Mead, Chelan 
County, Wash. 
LATE ELBERTA 
Just what the nsfme implies—A LATE RIPENING ELBERTA 
that goes on the market long after Elberta* are gone. Looks just 
like Elberta, but averaging a little larger and better quality 
HIGHLY FLAVORED, sweet, no bitterness at the pit. It is a 
peach that pays well, because it goes on the market AFTER THE 
ELBERTA SEASON IS OVER. 
The lengthening of the Elberta ripening season by the ad¬ 
dition of the same type and the better quality ha* added millions 
in income to the pesch industry. July Elberta and Stark Early 
Elberta, ripening AHEAD OF ELBERTA, and Hal-Berta and 
Late Elberta, ripening AFTER ELBERTA, are the four out¬ 
standing varieties of this type. All four are improvements °ver 
the Old Elberta aad they bring better prices a* the FRUIT 
RIPENS WHEN THE MARKET IS NOT LOADED. We offer 
the true strain Late Elberta which we have propagated over 25 
years. It ripens after Hal-Berta Giant and before Krummel 
October — just when good peaches BRING BEST MONEY. 
When a peach orchard is contemplated where a succession of 
ripening is desired this magnificent peach should be planted with- 
out fail. 
HAL-BERTA GIANT 
The peach SENSATION of this century. GREATEST IN 
SIZE, OUTSTANDING IN BEAUTY, UNAPPROACHED IN 
QUALITY. Hal-Berta Giant combines all the good qualities a 
grower wants, and brings MORE MONEY PER TREE, per bushel, 
than any other peach. Ripe 10 days to 2 weeks AFTER EL¬ 
BERTA and has been acclaimed everywhere as the OUTSTAND¬ 
ING AMERICAN PEACH. Hal-Berta Giant was the First Fruit 
Tree to be awarded a U. S. Plant Patent. It is of the J. H. Hale 
Type, round, firm, highly colored, BUT HAL-BERTA IS LARGER 
THAN J. H. HALE, MORE BEAUTIFUL, BETTER QUALITY. 
All are LARGE peaches — no small ones. 
$3.00 TO $4.00 FOR HAL-BERTA GIANTS 
“Many of my Hal-Bertas weighed from 12 to 16 ounces each 
and people went wild over them. Sold at $3.00, $3.50 and as 
high as $4.00 per bushel.” H. Lee Hawkins, Ohio. 
HARDY IN BUD 
“Giant in size—color and flavor, unexcelled. Will stand more 
severe weather than any variety we know.” Norman Brown, Pa.
