I hex’eby certify that the 
above picture was taken in 
my orchard in September, 
1940. It shows the crop of 
peaches on my HARDEE 
trees. I would estimate 
about 90% of a ci'op, El- 
bertas about 10%.

I hereby certify that the 
above picture was taken in 
my orchard in September, 
1940. It shows the crop of 
peaches on my HARDEE 
trees. I would estimate 
about 90% to 100% of a 
crop, Elbertas about 15%.

Clyde, Ohio, September 20, 1940. 
I hereby certify that the above picture was taken in my orchard in September, 1940. The picture shows for itself the 
crop of fruit on my Hardee trees, we had to thin them. Our Elbertas in the same orchard bore less than 5% of a crop. 
I have sixty-five acres of orchard and quite a wide assortment of varieties, and Hardee was the only yellow peach 
Elberta season that came through with a good crop this year. I also saw it fruiting in 1934 at the Ohio Experiment Station 
after the severe winter. 
We have a retail trade and can say that our customers like the variety very much, the quality is good, it compares with 
Elberta in size, and we receive a great many repeat orders for the fruit. I am only sorry that we don’t have more trees of 
a bearing age.
