There’s a Difference. Northern Grown. Buds Especially 
Selected from Heavy Bearing Trees; Insures a Bumper Crop. 
We wish to call special attention to the new varieties listed on this page, 
which have been tried and tested, and are outstanding either for home 
use or a commercial proposition. You cannot afford to overlook these 
new kinds—they are sure money-makers. 
RED ELBERTA. U. S. Plant Patent No. 232. This rich red-all-over 
Peach is identical with Elberta in tree and fruit with a much improved 
flavor, but ripens 10 days earlier. The flavor is exquisitely rich, 
sweet, and free from all bitterness. It is fine textured, firm and able 
to hold up for long-distance shipping and canning requirements. The 
rich red color sells the fruit on sight and demands as high as 75c 
more per bushel than other Peaches. Price: l-yr., 7/16 in. trees, 65c 
each; 10 for $6.00; 100 for $55.00. 9/16 in. 85c each; 10 for $8.00; 
100 for $65.00. Net, no discount. 
RED HAVEN. A big sensation in Michigan—the first half bushel offered 
on the Benton Harbor market brought $30.00. Ripens 30 days earlier 
than Elberta. Almost completely covered with a brilliant red color. 
Heavy producer; will make A-grade fruit if thinned. Same shape as 
Elberta. Yellow freestone; sweet in flavor. Firm flesh and tough skin 
indicate better shipping and handling qualities. An excellent early- 
maturing peach, 
Trees are vigorous and very productive. The scaffold branches 
usually originate at wide angles with the trunk which add to their 
strength. Fruit buds much hardier than those of Elberta. Self- 
fertile-trees can be planted in solid blocks. 
The best early peach for home use or commercial planting. Supply 
very limited. Price: l-yr., 7/16 in., 3 ft. and up trees, 70c each; 3 for 
$1.95; 10 for $6.50; 100 for $60.00. 9/16 in., 80c each; 10 for $7.50; 
100 for $70.00. 11/16 in., 90c each; 10 for $8.50; 100 for $80.00. 
RIO-OSO GEM. This variety is protected under U. S. Patent No. 
84. Ripens about ten days after J. H. Hale, during that period 
when there are few peaches on the market. This Peach has 
the extreme large size of J. H. Hale; is more highly colored, of 
finer grained texture, firmer, and of better general quality. 
Yellow freestone. The Ackerman Nurseries are licensed to dis- 
tribute this fine new yellow freestone Peach—but to eight 
states only, viz.: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Price: 1-yr., 7/16 in., 65c 
each; 10 for $6.00; 100 for $55.00. 9/16 in., 85c each; 10 for 
$8.00; 100 for $65.00. Net, no discount. 
HARDEE. New Peach Resists Zero Weather! Extensive experi- 
ments have shown Hardee to have come through the driest 
summers and coldest winters undamaged, whereas the balance 
of the peach crop was a complete failure. The fruit is large to 
above large, Elberta type, ripening a little later, yellow free- 
stone, highly colored, is distinct and delicious. Firm flesh, 
of the best quality, thick-skinned, making it an excellent ship- 
per. Vigorous grower and will produce a nice erop the third 
year on most any kind of soil or climate. End winter-killing 
with Hardee. Protected under U. S. Plant Patent No. 120. 
Price: 1-yr., 7/16 in., 65c each; 10 for $6.00; 100 for $55.00.
