THE GREENING NURSERY COMPANY 



No. 1—J. H. Hale No. 
2—Fertile Hale 

Illustration No. 1 shows a cross section of a J. H. Hale blossom. 
Note the small stamen and the anthers compared to the Fertile Hale 
blossom in No. 2. The J. H. Hale blossom is weak, frail and sterile, 
but the Fertile Hale is strong, rugged, self-pollinate and self-fertile. 
No. 3—J. H. Hale 
No. 5—J. H. Hale 


Illustration No. 3 is 
a branch of the J. H. 
Hale. Note the size 
of blossoms as com- 
pared with illustra- 
tion No. 4—the 
branch of the Fertile 
Hale. The striking 
difference is shown 
here. Only those 
blossoms in the J. H. 
Hale which become 
pollinated will bear 
fruit, whereas fruit 
blossoms of the Fer- 
tile Hale will bear 
Bid large Peaches 
Illustration No. 5 
shows the result of 
poor pollination of 
the sterile J. H. Hale. 
Note the “‘buttons”’ 
on the branch of the 
J. H. Hale. It has 
only one fully de- 
veloped Peach, 
whereas on a branch 
of the Fertile Hale, 
illustration No. 6 of 
the same size, has 
5 beautiful Peaches 
averaging 314 inches 
diameter and weigh- 
ing 9 to 16 ounces 
are produced. The 
comparative profit of 
the two varieties is 
clearly pictured in 
this illustration.

A Story in Pictures 
of aa Marwelous 
New Peach 
The FERTILE HALE 
Developed by Bud Selection 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 175) 
Words are futile to describe the Fertile Hale 
Peach—the pictures here tell its merits and 
show its worth at a glance. From these it is 
easy to understand that, in Its season the 
“Fertile Hale” is the outstanding ‘“money- 
Peach” of the Peach family. 
This new Greening introduction, as the name 
implies, is a Hale-type Peach which is self- 
fertile. It does not require crogs-pollination 
with other varieties. Fruit growers everywhere 
have been asking for a Hale-type Peach that 
would produce heavy, profitable crops and 
Greenings have answered the call by producing 
through “Bud Selection” the Fertile Hale. It 
will produce full crops of beautiful, large, 
Hale-type Peaches entirely free from so-called 
“Buttons” which are so prevalent in the sterile 
Jiri etal: 
According to the claim of Mr. Roy E. Gibson, 
Chief of the Greening Research, the Fertile 
Hale, because of its hardy nature, larger size, 
and more certain production is expected to 
replace the well-known Elberta. Its ripening 
dovetails with the last of the Elbertas. The 
trees are far more vigorous, it is more hardy 
in bud than the J. H. Hale or the Elberta, 
and produces crops in season when J. H. Hale 
or Elbertas fail. 
The Fertile Hale, as market quotations 
prove, is unquestionably the outstanding 
profit producer of Peach varieties, bringing 
25c. to 50c. more per bushel than the Elberta. 
On roadside stands and retail sales, Fertile 
Hale has brought as high as $1.50 per bushel 
premium above market price. Every factor 
which contributes to profit in Peaches is found 
in this marvelous new variety. It is command- 
ingly attractive in appearance. Its color Is 
yellow with a deep carmine blush and has 
excellent shipping qualities. 
More dollars per acre is a certainty by plant- 
ing the Fertile Hale.
