THE LATE RIPENING PEACH YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 
The Rio Oso Gem is a perfect freestone, form is globular, slightly elongated, of extremely large size, 
averaging in diameter from 2 3 /4 to 3 3 A inches, deep yellow flesh, very fine grain, firm texture, with 
very excellent flavor, being rich, juicy, sweet and slightly spicy. The coloring is unique, being a 
beautiful dark crimson-red, running out to lighter crimson and into a rich mottle of crimson over the 
orange-yellow ground color. It is a good transcontinental shipper. 
Bears Heavier Than Elberta 
Rio Oso Gem is an extremely heavy bearer and on account of its prolific *:et of fruit, it is necessary 
to practice extremely heavy thinning. It has hardy, vigorous fruit buds, which insure it being a 
heavy annual bearer. The tree bears young. 
Ripens Two Weeks Later Than Elberta 
The Rio Oso Gem would be a peach of commercial importance when ripening at any time during 
the peach season, but it is very fortunate that it ripens two weeks later than Elberta, which puts it 
at a time when there is no other variety of commercial importance as a competitor, and fills a long 
looked-for gap in commercial production, ripening when the markets are clamoring for peaches. 
Colors Before It Ripens 
An amazing feature of the Rio Oso Gem is, it will take on a good bright red color and yellow 
background two weeks before ripening, and even ten days before actual ripening time the percentage 
of bright red color is decidedly more than most other varieties. When Rio Oso Gem is ready to pick 
and ship it has practically a solid red color. There is no other peach known that carries such a high 
percentage of red color on the fruit as this marvelous Rio Oso Gem. 
Expert Fruit Growers Say O. K. 
Rio Oso Gem has now fruited in practically every peach district of the Union. Veteran peach 
growers of the nation are loud in their praise of this startling variety. Rio Oso Gem has passed ihe 
experimental stage and proven an outstanding commercial variety superseding the famous Elberta 
of the Victorian era.
