Elberta leads all other peaches in number of trees in 
America. It is, too, the most popular of all peaches in the 
markets. The pre-eminent meritorious character of Elberta 
is its freedom from local prejudices of extra soil or climate 
—it is the cosmopolite of cultivated peaches, thus Elberta 
is grown with profit in every peach growing state in the 
Union.

Roanoke, 
Virginia, 
September 19, 1938. 
Dear Sirs: 
1 wish to call your attention to something that I think will interest you. In December, '36, I received 1200 
peach trees from you. I did not get them planted until in March, '37. They were one-year-old buds. Now 
in December, '37, l planted 1300 more of your one-year-old buds. Now if you could see the growth these two 
lots of trees have made you would send your Mr. Ellington here with a good photographer and take the 
pictures of these two orchards for your next catalog. 
I have been in the peach business for over forty years and I have never seen such a growth on any 
kind of a tree in my life. Everybody in this section thinks they are a wonder. Both orchards are in a 
beautiful location to take a good picture. It is true these trees have had good attention and we have had 
a good season this year. But ivith all that, it is a beautiful sight. 1 think it ivould be a wonderful ad for you. 
Very kindly, 
W. P. CRUMP ACKER & SON. 
Sorry we didn’t get the photograph for our catalog, but we are printing this letter to show you how our cus¬ 
tomers feel about the stock we furnish. Crumpacker 8C Son are large growers, and are highly respected in their 
community.
