A Personal Message To Peach Growers 
For three generations, our family has been serving the fruit 
growers of the country with high quality trees. Since child¬ 
hood I have been schooled in the problems of fruit growing and 
have sought their solution. To me, one of the greatest of these 
was to produce a tree that would reduce the appalling and 
heart-breaking losses due to winter freeze of peaches. 
In 1925 I discovered this tree, obtained buds, propogated 
the tree, and in 1927 sent two of them to the Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station at Wooster, Ohio, for testing. In 1930 and 
again in 1934 they withstood severe droughts. In 1933-34 they 
came through with full crops after surviving temperatures far below zero, when other pop¬ 
ular varieties were killed. So, after years of experience and rigid tests I am able to offer 
you a peach tree that you can depend upon for a good crop when other trees have failed 
and peach prices are high. 
Every fruit grower lives in expectancy of good crops in the future. Years of constant 
care and attention are invested in a tree before it reaches bearing age. I don’t believe that 
there is any grower who would willingly risk his original investment, all his time and work 
for these years, and his profits, by trying to save just a few pennies on the original cost of 
the tree. HARDEES are now only a few cents higher than ordinary trees—but that few 
cents is your assurance of ample reward for your work and good profits in the future. 
I cannot put all the things that I want to tell you in this folder. So will you mail back 
the return card today and let me tell you all about HARDEE peach trees. 
Yours very truly
