RAREST PEACH 
REDHAVEN The World’s Rarest Peach! Only 14 bear- 
ing trees in the world—so states a news- 
paper clipping dated August 14, 1941. The first half-bushel of Red- 
haven peaches sold in Benton Harbor, Mich., this past summer 
brought the unbelievable price of $30.00. Redhaven originated 
at the South Haven Experiment Station from a cross made 
between Halehaven and Kalhaven in 1930. It was still un- 
named and known only by number. Exhaustive tests were 
made over a period of years until its real worth and merit 
as an outstanding new peach could be determined. This 
year for the first time it is being offered to the public, and 
supplies are, of course, very limited. 
Redhaven matures very early, about a month before El- 
berta. Fruit medium in size, of slightly elongated shape, 
and almost completely covered with a brilliant red color. 
Skin is smooth and tough. Flesh yellow, firm, fine textured, 
sweet, and of good quality. A perfectly fertile variety and 
freestone. It is safe to classify Redhaven as the outstanding 
early peach of tomorrow. Be the first in your locality to 
possess this rare and most profitable variety. Order today 
before we're sold out. Our Price for Large, Super-Size Trees, 
11/16 in and up, Only $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75. Net, No Cash 
Discount. (We reserve the right to limit quantities.) 
ELBERT The Standard Market Peach of the Entire Na- 
tion. For years this has been the standard 
midseason market variety. Does equally well in all Peach-grow- 
ing sections, North and South. Fruit is large, bright golden 
yellow with red blush. Highly flavored. Ideally firm flesh and skin. 
A strong, vigorous grower. Ripens 10th to 15th of September. 
Freestone and self-fertile.

Peach 
KAL-HAVE Fruit of good 
size, brilliant 
yellow with highly colored cheek. A 
free-stone, ripening a few days before

and an excellent shipper. Tree vigor- 
ous, hardy, and productive. 
ORIOLE An Early Yellow Free- 
stone. Trees vigorous and 
very hardy. Heavy producers, and 
bear young. Fruit is round, attractive 
and of high quality. A cross between 
Slappey and Dewey. Both Michigan

Oriole one of the hardiest under trial.

\ ROCHESTER Extra early. A round, orange-yellow Peach with 
blazing red cheeks. Yellow flesh stained with 
ted near pit. Firm skin and texture; juicy, sweet and delicious. Ex- 
cellent for either market or canning. One of the most widely planted 
early varieties in Michigan’s famed Peach Belt. Ripens 10 days to two 
weeks ahead of Elberta. Freestone and self-fertile. 
SOUTH HAVEN Famed from Coast to Coast for big yields 
annually. Extra Large, Extra Fancy, Extra 
Early. Round golden yellow fruit with dark red splashes of color. At- 
tains a high color while still on the tree. Combines all the good features 
of Elberta, but ripens 12 to 16 days earlier. Finest quality for either 
eating or shipping. Retains its outstanding sweetness when canned. 
Freestone, self-fertile, hardy, and a young bearer. One of our heaviest
