HOWARD FISHER 
Best Money - Making 
Peach Ever Discov¬ 
ered. (U. S. Plant Patent No. 233.) 
Here is one of the newest and best peaches ever 
offered. We have just been able to obtain a limited 
quantity of this wonderful new variety direct from the 
licensed propagator for this territory, and consider 
ourselves fortunate in being able to offer Howard 
Fisher to our customers this season. 
The history of its origin indicates that it was first 
discovered in an Ontario orchard of 500 Valiant trees. 
One limb of one tree, bending nearly to the ground, 
was loaded with 36 large, ripe peaches. This was 
August 9th, three weeks in advance of the ripening 
season of Valiant. 
After propagating from the original tree for several 
seasons, it was determined beyond a doubt that the 
early ripening qualities of the parent tree could be 
transmitted indefinitely, proving conclusively that 
here was a distinct Bud Sport — a very rare phe¬ 
nomenon in the peach world. 
Leading horticultural authorities from this country 
have visited the original sport limb when in fruit, all 
marvelling at this most unusual occurrence; stating 
that the quality, appearance, and season of the 
peach established it in a class by itself. They were 
most enthusiastic in their acclaim, saying that it filled 
a season not covered by any other variety of free¬ 
stone peach with equal size, color, flavor and ship¬ 
ping qualities. 
We know that any one planting Howard Fisher 
will feel amply rewarded when his trees have borne 
their first crop of fruit; so we urge all of you to order 
early, as our supply is limited this year, and we 
expect to sell out long before the season is over. 
PRICE: l-yr„ 7/16 in. trees, 80c each; 10 for $5.50; 
50 for $17.50 net, subject to no cash discount.
