claiming This Great Peach. Hailed by Many and 
Conceded to Be “The Greatest Peach of All Time 
For Its Season.” 

HALE HAVEN 
We Endorse and Recommend This Great Peach 
To Growers in All Sections Where Size, Color, 
Quality and Shipping Ability Are Paramount Con- 
siedrations. 
We know of no Peach of recent introduction that is 
proving so universally satisfactory as the Hale Haven. 
It has proved an unchallenged leader of peaches to fol- 
low the Golden Jubilee, Colora, Vedette The tree is a 
strong thrifty grower resistant to common peach dis- 
eases, the fruit is large, oval shaped like a well grown 
J. H. Hale, it has a good tough skin, the flesh of the 
peach being of such texture that it will not bruise easily 
and best of all it has a beautiful, handsome red color 
that at once attracts the buyer and a flavor that is as 
good as the very best. The Hale Haven is a product of 
South Haven Experimental Station, in Michigan. Note 
the success of this variety in test plantings in the 
South. The South can now grow a large yellow 
peach in place of the old Hiley that will bring much 
higher prices on the markets. Whereever you are lo- 
cated you cannot go wrong by planting liberally of the 
Hale Haven. BE SURE YOU ARE BUYING THE TRUE

« Introduced by the 
SOUTH HAVEN (10a) South Haven Experi- 
mental Station and proving hardy and an exceilent 
peach. The tree is very thrifty and productive. The 
peach is of Elberta type, ripening from 12 to 16 days 
before Elberta. While not as good a shipper as Elberta 
we believe it will carry satisfactory to markets within 
a radius of 700 miles. It is a freestone, yellow fleshed 
peach which colors up well and ripens its crop over a 
period of about ten days which makes it especially de- 
sirable for local and road stand markets. 
~ DIXIGOLD (10b) 
A YELLOW FLESHED SEEDLING OF THE 
FAMOUS HILEY 
Developed by the U.S.D.A. at It. 
an open pollinated seedling of Hiley. Tree has many 
characteristics of the parent, being very vigorous in 
growth habits and so far has been resistant to bacteri- 
osis. Requires very short rest period. Flowers self- 
fertile. Fruit averages larger than Hiley, is a freestone 
and ripens 4 to 5 days earlier than Hiley. The flesh has 
fair to good quality, medium firmness and good texture. 
It colors a deep lemon yellow overlaid with a blush of 
red on one side. The relative low demand for winter 
cold makes DIXIGOLD very desirable for southern 
peach growing regions, and other sections where Hiley 
does well. 
Our trees are propagated from wood of the original 
tree. 
Valley, Ga., as 

s A medium sized 
HILEY BELLE (Hiley) (11) white fleshed free- 
stone peach with beautiful red blush and tough skin. 
The flesh is juicy and tender. For many years the 
South’s greatest early commercial peach. 
SLAPPY (Improved) (lla) We. are propa- 
gating a selected 
strain of Slappy that we consider superior to the orig- 
inal Slappy variety. The peach seems to average larg- 
er, much higher colored, and the tree seems very vigor- 
ous, otherwise it is a typical Slappy in every way. The 
Slappy is a yellow freestone peach of very good quality, 
ripening about the same time as Hiley Belle. It is 
especially suitable for nearby markets where quality 
and appearance count. 
VALIANT (11b) 
One of the so-called V varieties introduced by the 
Vineland Experimental Station, Vineland, Ontario, Can- 
ada. The Valiant is a seedling of Elberta and as it 
comes into fruiting over a wide area it is proving its 
right to a place in our peach planting program. It is 
possibly the largest of the V_ varieties, globular in 
shape and very attractively colored with bright red 
over a rich yellow. It has exceptional quality and holds 
up well in shipping to not too distant markets. It 
ripens just after the Vedette and about with the Hale 
Haven, being very similar in shape to the Hale Haven, 
the distinguishing factor being the shape of the apex 
end. The tree and fruit is more subject to fungus dis- 
eases than the Vedette and we do not recommend the 
Valiant for far southern planting where hot, humid 
atmospheric conditions exist. It is a close rival of the 
Hale Haven in the central and northern districts and 
is preferred by some growers. It seems to be very har- 
dy and productive. We can surely recommend the Val- 
jiant as one of the better peaches to precede the Elberta 
season, 
GOLDEN EAST (NJ. 87) 10 jist 
highly colored, yellow fleshed peach ripening with 
Hiley or about 15 days before Elberta. Usually a free- 
stone. A promising variety for sites south of central 
New Jersey where favorable elevations, soil and climate 
prevail. The tree is upright, spreading and vigorous. 
The dormant buds are medium in hardiness. Worthy of 
trial in all sections. 
ECLIPSE (11d) A _self-pollinated seedling of 
Belle. A dark red, yellow-flesh- 
ed freestone peach of firm texture and good flavor, rip- 
ening with Hiley. Size equal to Hiley, tree more vig- 
orous. Fruit oval, flesh fine grained; excellent shipper; 
hangs to the tree well. Recommended as a variety to 
replace Hiley. : ; 
lle Large, round, quite regu- 
CHAMPION ( ) lar; yellowish-white, mot- 
tled with red on sunny side; flesh white with red at the 
pit. One of the best in quality and a general favorite 
of great hardiness. <A freestone. 
VETERAN (11f) A cross between Vaughan and 
HWarly Elberta; of Canadian 
origin. The fruit is large, round, yellow fleshed, free- 
stone and superior to Elberta in quality. Ripens a few 
days after Valiant. 
KALHAVEN (12) Originated in Michigan and 
is a cross between J. H. 
Hale and Kalamazoo. The trees are hardy, vigorous 
and fast growing, apjearing to be resistant to the com- 
mon peach diseases. The fruits are medium size, very 
attractive in appearance and are freestone. In shape 
they are ovate to round and carry a brilliant blush 
overlaid on a creamy yellow. They are high in edible 
quality, firm and of fine texture.
