Usually 
some scasons being 
semi-free, A magnificent white-fleshed 
peach, larger than Carman, better qual- 
ity than Champion and handsomer than 

any picture ever painted. Fruit creamy 
white with glossy blush of rosy red, 
Mesh white, firm, sweet, juicy, flavor 
rich and delicious. Tree strong, vigor- 
ous, immensely productive and extremely 
hardy in bud and bloom. ' After 25 years’ 
experience we recommend this as ideal 
peach of Champion-Belle of Georgia- 
Ililey type. There are four requirements 
for an ideal commercial peach: Color, 
size, quality and a good shipper. Alton 
has all’ four, Plant this great white 
and red peach everywhere for market- 
ing and home use, Ideal for eanning, 
preserving and sweet pickles. Ripe 25 
to 80 days ahead of Elberta, 
EARLY MAMIE ROSS — Early White 
Semi-Free. Just like Mamie Ross but 
ripens a week earlier. Creamy white 
fruit with bright red cheek. Ripe 34 
days before Elberta. Red Bird Cling is 
larger, better, more attractive, more 
profitable,

Cling. Attractive “red-all-over” peach, 
Tree bears young, hardy, thrifty, heavy 
producer. Fruit medium size, good qual- 
ity. RECORD STRAIN, 
UNE ELBERTA —Larliest-of-all Yellow Peaches. After years 
of searching and testing we have found June Elberta to be 
the best of its season. Trees are vigorous, young heavy bearers 
and HARDY IN BLOSSOM. Fruit semi-freestone, big, hand- 
some, high color, of excellent quality and resists rot. Unlike 
most extremely early sorts IT IS A FIRST-CLASS SHIPPER 
and because of earliness, vigor, beauty and quality will always 
command high prices. Much superior to Arp Beauty which 
it Eeeombles. Record-bearing strain. 
{OLDEN JI _Earliest Yellow Freestone. Ripens about 
25 Aaya before ‘Elberta, good size, delicious quality, The first true 
yellow freestone. Originated with the New Jersey Experiment 
eb a beautiful peach of the Elberta type. Very promising. 
EUREKA—Early White Semi-Free. We introduced Eureka be- 
cause of its IRON-CLAD HARDINESS, size, beauty and ripen- 
ing season—about 10 days after Red Bird Cling. Bears when 
other so-called hardy sorts are killed.

its place in the orchards of the country, It is hardy in bud like 
Alton, but the quality of the fruit is not so good. and it rots 
badly while Alton is seldom bothered, It is, however, still mak- 
ing money. Ripens 29 days ahead of Elberta.
