World's Largest Peach—u. S. Patent 
Here’s a Peach so amazing that we bought it for 
the highest price ever paid for a Peach and it was 
honored with the First U. §S. Patent ever issued to 
a fruit tree. 
Hal-Berta Giant is a huge, beautiful red on gold 
peach—many peaches weigh a pound each, Perfect 
freestone. Almost fuzzless. Deliciously flavored. 
Firm, solid, luscious golden yellow flesh. A small 
pit. Ripens Mid-Season—usually 4 days to a weck 
or 10 days after J. H. Hale and Elberta. 
Has all the delicious flavor and melting firm 
flesh of J. H. Hale. Larger than Hale and bears 
heavier. Hardy. Fine shipper. Young bearer.

Peaches I ever saw.’—R. C. Perry, Wash. 
“Finest Peach in East! Size, color and flavor un- 
excelled. Trees stand more severe weather than any 
other.”—Norman C. Brown, Penn.

old trees bore big crop. Averaged about a pound 
each.”—Jess Henson, Okla.

when other varieties fail. My Hal-Berta Giants and
