JULY ELBERTA-Burbank 
Burbank’s July Elberta Peach is creating a sensation all 
over the country! In commercial orchards, in Home Orchards, 
in Local Orchards, on Roadside stands, in Back Yards, and on 
the Fruit Markets. It is the Outstanding Early Peach of the 
Century! A Very Heavy Bearer— it bears when others fail. Very 
s New U. S. PATENT Peach 
hardy— thrives in Canada and bears crops when many other peaches 
are killed by low temperatures or by late frosts. Freestone. Superb 
Quality. A Good Shipper. Ripens Very Early 3 weeks ahead of El¬ 
berta. Brilliant red and gold, a Sensational Quick Money- 
Maker—often coming into bearing when only 2 years old! 
Loaded When Others Fail 
“February freeze while peaches were in 
bloom killed all my peaches except July 
Elberta. I have 100 July Elberta trees 
which began bearing at 2 years. This 
year they bore from IV^ to 2 V 2 bushels 
per tree and I received $1.50 a bushel. 
The quality, color, taste and shipping 
qualities of Burbank’s July Elberta are 
unexcelled. Their early bearing and quick 
growth are added characteristics which 
would cause me to plant more July Elberta 
trees.”—Logan Fain, Texas. 
“Bear In Spite of Drouth and Cold” 
“I have 15 four-year old July Elberta 
trees. They stood 3 years of bad drouth 
and heat and the cold of Nebraska 
winters and still came through with a 
big money crop. If I set any more peach 
trees I will set Burbank’s July Elberta.”— 
N. White, Otoe Co., Nebraska. 
“Brought $2.40 a Bushel in Pa.” 
“I have 100 July Elberta Peach trees 
4 years old which bore their first crop 
when 2 years old, when other varieties 
were failures. All my customers say July 
Elberta is as fine a peach as they ever tasted, 
and I sold my peaches this year for $2.40 
a bushel.— Kenneth Clark, Pa. 
“Always Loaded” 
“My 10 July Elberta Peach Trees 
began bearing when 3 years old and they 
are always loaded. It ripens 22 days 
before Elberta. I get $1.95 per bushel for 
my surplus July Elbertas.”—Peter Bohland, 
Ohio.” 
“A Winner— Youngest Bearer” 
says N. Y. Fruit Expert 
J. Carl Ward, addressing N. Y. Hort. 
Society on “What Varieties of Peaches Shall 
I Plant” said: 
“A peach which looks to me like a 
winner is Burbank’s July Elberta. We 
have a planting of 400 trees. It has excellent 
size, wonderful scarlet coloring, so bril¬ 
liant that fruit on young trees can be seen 
a great distance. It has very firm meat, a 
small pit and is a perfect freestone. Its 
flavor is very unusual— to me it tastes 
like a blending of Early Crawford and J. H. 
Hale. I picked as many as 20 peaches 
from trees which were 1-year old the 
preceding Spring. 
“Best Peach for West” 
“With us July Elberta ripens ten days 
to 2 weeks before Stark Early Elberta and 
both years since it started to bear 
(when only 3 years old) has fruited 
when other varieties failed. This year 
July Elberta bore a heavy crop after 24 
below zero. 
“July Elberta is the best peach the 
West has ever put on the market and 
we have the first ones planted in this 
section. The fruit brings from 5c to 7c 
per pound ($3.00 to $4.50 a bushel) and 
are making us more money than any 
other peach variety. The stores call us 
for them and pay more for them than 
for any other peach.— C. M. Blazey, 
Washington. 
“Fine in Canada” 
“July Elberta is a very fine peach with 
us. The trees have borne heavily every 
year since their second season. The tree 
is a very good grower. The fruit itself is 
of good quality and si?..e.— A. Grant Fox, 
Ont., Canada. 
“Highly Recommended for Michigan” 
“I attended the big peach meeting at 
Michigan Experimental Station. July El¬ 
berta and Hale-Haven were the two out¬ 
standing peaches. July Elberta has a 
brilliant red color, high quality and is 
satisfactory in every way. This year the 
orchardists from all over the state had a 
fine opportunity to see the variety ripening. 
July Elberta is recommended by Michigan 
Station at this time.”—Ward Lockwood. 
Later—“Again this year July Elberta made 
a sensational record at the Mich. Exp. 
Station — magnificent quality — ripened 6 
days ahead of Hale-Haven.” 
“$600.00 Net Profit from % Acres” 
“In 1933, says Louis Christ of Mo. “I 
decided to try a small planting of Burbank 
July Elberta and Hal-Berta Giant peach 
trees. Last year both of these varieties 
bore and brought highest prices. Al¬ 
though there was a big fruit crop all over the 
country. I sold 200 bushels of Hal-Berta 
Giants (from 40 trees) for $2.25 to $2.50 
a bushel. 
“Again this year, I have a bumper 
crop—130 bushels of July Elbertas and 
my 40 Hal-Berta Giant trees are loaded 
again this year. I am getting $3.00 to 
$3.50 a bushel for them right at my 
orchard. July Elberta and Hal-Berta 
Giant are two of the finest, most profit¬ 
able. They are making me ten times 
the profits I get from the same acreage 
in wheat.”
