Redelberta 
From Indiana 
“Redelberta ripened ahead of Early EI- 
berta and are certainly a BEAUTIFUL 
PEACH—RED ALL OVER. Had I known 
what they were when I purchased them I 
would have bought a whole orchard of 
them. They have PLENTY OF COLOR, 
DEMAND TOP MARKET PRICES.” 

From Ontario, Canada 
“The RIPENING DATE MAKES ITA 
WINNER. We have no other good peach 
ripening at the same date. I believe your 
Redelberta is the BEST PEACH KNOWN 
TO PRECEDE ELBERTA.” 

From Kennewick, Washington 
“Year after year my Redelbertas have 
sold for better than FIFTY PER CENT 
MORE MONEY — and the entire crop 
shipped and sold before other varieties 
started.” 

From Yakima, Washington 
“The thing that makes the Redelberta ot 
interest to growers is the fact that it is 
about ten days earlier than the Elberta. 
The peach has a solid red color cheek and 
apparently it colors solid red whether out- 
side or inside the tree, regardless of the 
amount of foliage. 
“Other characteristics of the Redelberta 
are that it is a true Elberta as compared 
with other varieties of peaches which carry 
the Elberta name. 
“Tt has bearing habits similar to the EI- 
berta, the tree apparently is as hardy as 
Elberta, and in all characteristics is an 
Elberta with exception that it ripens about 
ten days earlier with more color.”

For over fifty years old Elberta has been the fa- 
vorite and most widely planted peach in America. 
REDELBERTA is identical with its parent... 
the old Elberta... in every respect... in fruit, 
flower, foliage and production ... but has double 
the red color of Elberta and ripens fully ten days 
earlier. 
This highly colored, double red Elberta can be 
harvested for the earlier, more profitable markets 
. ahead of the main Elberta crop. It lengthens 
and distributes the harvest and shipping season. 
REDELBERTA originated as a bud-sport limb 
on an Elberta tree. It was discovered in 1928 by 
Mr. Jay Perry in his Elberta orchard in the Yaki- 
ma Valley, Washington. This original bud-sport 
limb had fourteen hghly colored, beautiful red 
peachzs while other peaches on the same tree 
w-re still without color, green and immature. 
Bearing REDELBERTA orchards prove its 
greater profitableness, more color, earlier harvest.

“There should be endeavors to get Red- 
elberta into commercial production soon as 
posstble. Retailers liked the fruit. It is a 
good Iteeper and will carry well. We be- 
Iieve it will be a money maker for the 
grower.”

“The thing about Red-lb-rta that inter- 
ests us is its earlier ripening season. This 
would give us a longcrr canning season 
which ts a most desirable advantage.”
