HALE’S EARLY — Medium, nearly round, skin 
mottled red; dark red cheek, flesh white, juicy. Mid- 
season, hardy freestone. 
J. H. HALE—Very large round peach; yellow with 
carmine touch; very firm one of the best commercial 
varieties with the leading canning markets at its 
command. Freestone. 
IMPROVED or LATE HALE—Comes into ripening 
just as the J. H. Hale season closes, thereby con- 
tinuing the Hale season about 10 days. Identical 
with J. H. Hale in color and other respects except a 
considerable larger, hence brings premium prices. 
Also trees are rampant growers and prolific annual 
bearers. Plant this variety for larger profits. 
JULY HALE—A Lafayette introduction, originated 
in Boise Valley, Idaho. A more highly colored and 
slightly smaller J. H. Hale, otherwise identical. Ripens 
from July 10 to 15. An exceptional heavy and sure 
bearer. We have a very limited supply of this re- 
markable, early ripening freestone. Promises to be 
one of the most profitable of all varieties commer- 
cially. 
KRUMMEL—An extremely late commercial variety. 
Excellent shipper. Fruit large, almost round, deep 
yellow with a carmine blush, fine grained and firm. 
LATE CRAWFORD—Large roundish oval, yellow 
with heavy red blush, flesh yellow, with red at the 
pit; freestone. Very fine flavor and quality. Late 
September. 
LOVELL—Resembles the Crawford and is similar 
in quality. Yellow meat. 
MASSASOIT—An excellent new freestone similar 
to Rochester in appearance but of firmer texture and 
later to ripen. It is especially popular in the Hood 
River district: it has proven a fine, profitable com- 
mercial peach.

MUIR—Late August, fruit very large; skin yellow, 
easily peeled. Meat yellow, mild and tender. Free- 
stone. One of the supreme canning varieties. A good 
bearer and quite resistant to curl leaf. 
ORIOLE—A very early yellow meated freestone 
of commercial quality. Highly recommended.

ROCHESTER—One of the varieties that has proven — 
itself as one of the first freestone peaches to reach 
the market. Large golden yellow with heavy cover- 
ing of crimson; firm, juicy, sweet. This is an ex- 
ceptionally prolific variety with a tree that can 
stand up under its abundant load of golden fruit. 
SOUTH HAVEN—One of the new peaches of out- 
standing quality. Golden yellow color, with beautiful 
red cheek. Freestone. The flesh is golden yellow, 
fine grained, firm, rich and sweet, ripens two weeks 
or more ahead of the Elberta, coming into a new and 
open market. The tree is hardy and an early pro- 
ducer, and a heavy yielder. Some canning authori- 
ties rank the South Haven with the J. H. Hale as a 
canner but coming on the early market. 
HALE HAVEN—Large yellow meated peach similar 
to the South Haven but more highly colored. Skin 
tougher. Ripens one week later 
SALWAY—One of the latest peaches. Round green- 
ish yellow skin, yellow meat, firm, tendency towards 
being dry of juice. Valuable for the late market. 
SLAPPY—Fruit yellow, a good keeper; increasing 
in demand as a canner; excellent flavor, fine grained. 
Hardy, best medium early yellow freestone. 
VALIANT—An Elberta type later in ripening than 
South Haven. Fruit yellow with dark red tinge; 
flesh firm, and fine grained. 
VEDETTE — Ripening a few days earlier than 
Valiant. Elberta type; fruit large, roundish-oval in 
shape with yellow flesh. 
VETERAN—Fruit large, round. Follows Valiant in 
ripening.

Dear Sirs: 
Enclosed is a money order amount $10.00, which is my 
first payment on the contract for trees amounting to 
$93.65. We wish to thank you most kindly for the beau- 
tiful trees you sent us. They are in wonderful condition— 
and for the Improved Hale peach and the currant bushes. 
The tree you gave mother a couple of seasons ago has 
many blossoms this year. 
ELLEN MACKENZIE. 
Watsonville, Calif., Jan. 20, 1940. 
As a user of your nursery stock I am most pleased to 
add my testimonial of highest praises, not alone for the 
plantings received from you over a period of years, but 
for the kindly business methods in all your dealings. 
The nursery stock has always been of the very best, and 
has had the cleanest, most perfect root systems I have 
ever seen, due no doubt to your careful growing methods 
on virgin Willamette silt, which has no equal. 
Your methods of business and your policy of “give, 
rather than take’”’ would win the admiration and the last- 
ing friendship of any man. 
E. W. JACK.
