| 669. POLLY PEACH. Will grow north, south, east, or west. Orig- Shy 
inated at Iowa State College, Ames, -lowa, which is farther 
north than many peaches were thought to grow successfully. 
Every winter Polly has withstood temperatures of below zero 
weather and offen as cold as 20 below. Rated very high at Iowa 
State College peach orchard. Very large, and a perfect free- 
stone. Ripens a few days before Elberta. Flesh is white, and oh, 
so juicy, but still firm, and the flavor is just luscious. The skin 
carries a deep red blush. When canned it stays firm and makes 
| wonderful sauce. Did you ever eat a Polly Peach? Well, if not, 
| you’ve a great treat waiting for you. If you have, I'll venture 
a guess that you have some growing right now. BEARS YOUNG. 
)| Often known to get from 12 to 15 peaches on a 3 to 4 ft. tree 
| the second year; third year 14 to 4% bushel. You'll gef the true 
' strain of Polly that will give you the finest quality of all peaches 
| if you'll plant Polly Peaches secured from Earl May. 
| 663. ELBERTA (Jor Filler). A freestone. Ripens in early September. 
| Is good over the entire country for both commercial and garden 
purposes. Jus* a small tree will be literally loaded with large 
yellow peaches with red blush cheeks, very juicy and highly 
flavored. You all know Elberta is hardy, too, and does well in 
all peach sections. This peach has been called the ‘‘jar filler’’ be- 
|| cause millions of jars are filled every year with this excellent peach. 
|| 665. J. H. HALE. The fancy peach—the one the housewife pays 
premiums to get. It’s big—it’s round—has yellow skin blushed 
almost scarlet. Skin is almost fuzziess. "Freestone and very juicy. 
| Plant another peach like Rochester or Golden Jubilee to pollenize 
Hale. Ripens one week before Elberta. 
| 664. GOLDEN JUBILEE. Ripens in August. Big crop, and a big pay- 
| ing crop is the Golden Jubilee, introduced by the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. Colors to a brilliant apricot-gold—golden 
flesh. It’s a freestone and very, very hardy. A perfect pollenizer. 
670. ROCHESTER. Another extra hardy peach. Freestone. Perfect 
pollenizer. Fruit is large and yellow. An extra good peach and 
when other peach trees were going down in the severe winters a 
few years ago, Rochester stood up and produced a fine crop. A 
good keeper. 
, 662. CHAMPION. I feel confident that C’ :apion would 
be voted “champion” in southern Iowa. One of the 
very best white meated peaches we have. Large frvit. 
Bears very heavily and is one of the hardiest peaches 
for central and southern Iowa. I recommend that you 
include Champion with your Hale,. Polly, Elberta, and 
Golden Jubilee. Ripens in August. 
667. HALE HAVEN. Did you know that this variety ripens 
15 days ahead of Elberta? Think of it!—and it’s 
a freestone. Also self-fertile. In big demand for 
early fresh‘desserts. They bear young — with 
bumper crops. Ranks No. 1 in hardiness. Hale 
Haven was ofiginated at the Michigan 
Experiment Station so you're sure it’s
