RED BIRD CLING— Earliest Red-White 
Cling “THE GREATEST MONEY- 
MAKER, EARLIEST, LARGEST, AND 
BEST OF ALL EARLY COMMERCIAL 
PEACHES.” Size immense, averaging 
almost large as J. H. Hale — per¬ 
fectly round, “RED AS FIRE,” ships 
better than Elherta — and from the 
time we introduced it, has TOPPED 
ALL EARLY MARKETS. Brings double 
prk-e of Elherta. 
If you want a very early peach, there 
is really ONLY ONE, for Red Bird Cling 
stands alone as the best. Ready to ship 
when the markets are l)are of good 
peaches — bringing as high as .$4.00 PER 
BUSHEL. Ripens 45 DAYS AHEAD 
OP ELBERTA.

$600.00, covering al)out acre of land.”

early sort.

some, high c<»lor, of excellent <iuality and resists rot. Thilike

it re.seml)les. Record-l)earing strain.

25 days i)efore Elt"rta, good size, delicious quality. The flrst true 
yellow freestone. Originated with the New .Jersey Experiment

ALTON— Hardy, Early White. Usually 
a true fiwstone—soim seasons being 
semi-fr(‘e. A magniiicent white-fleshed 
pencil, larger than Carman, better qual¬ 
ity than Champion and handsomer than 
any picture ever painted. Fruit creamy 
wliite witli glos.sy lilush of rosy re(l. 
Flesh white, linn, sweet, juicy, flavor 
ricli and delicious. Tree strong’, vigor¬ 
ous, immensely productive and extremely 
hardy in Itud and liloom. ‘After 25 year.s’ 
experience we recommeiMl this as ideal 
peach of Champion-Belle of Georgia- 
Ililey type. There are four requirements 
for an ideal commercial peacli: Color, 
size, (pmlity and a good shipper. Alton 
has all four. Plant this great white 
and red peach i^’erywhere for market¬ 
ing and home use. Ideal for canning, 
preserving and sweet pickles. RIik* 25 
to 30 days aluuid of Ellierta. 
EARLY MAMIE ROSS — Early White 
Semi-Free. .Just like Mamie Ross hut 
rliiens a week earlier, (’nanny white 
fruit with bright red cheek. Ripe 34 
da.vs before Ellierta. Red Bird (ding is 
larger, better, more attractive, more 
protitahle. 
“TOM THUMB” Dwarf Peach— (U. S. Pat.)-A striking 
novelty that can lie grown in the garden or in a flower 
pot. Often Blooms and Bears 2n(l year. About 2(4 ft. 
high at matqrity .$1.50 Each 
CUMBERLAND — A white-tleshed fr(>e- 
stone peach ripening just aliead of Al¬ 
ton. It is large for an early variety, 
is of good ipinllty, of tiiu' apiKuirance, 
hangs to tiTe well, and is n'commended 
for local market. Originated with the New .Ier.si‘y Experiment 
Station, and is recommended by them. 
CARMAN—Early White Freestone. A Iarg(>, creainy-whlti*. 
de(q)-t)lush(‘(l peacli that has lu'cn iiopular for many years. How¬ 
ever, Alton, ripening just about the same season, is fast taking 
its place in the orchards of the (country. It is hardy in hud like 
Alton, hut till* (piality of the fruit is not so good, and it rots 
hadl.v while Alton is stddoin bothered. It is, howevi*r, still mak¬ 
ing money. Rlpiuis 20 days ahead of Elherta. 
ORIOLE — An Early Yellow Freestone. \ cross hi'tweim Slajipey 
and Dew(‘y from N. .1. Exp. Station. Trees vigorous, very 
Hardy. Heavy producers, hear young. Fruit round, attractive, 
high quality. N. .1. and Michigan Exp. Stations both riqiort 
Oriole one of the hardiest under trial. Rca-ord parent strain.
