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 out- 
standing either for home use or a commercial proposition. 
You cannot afford to overlook these new kinds—they are 
sure money-makers. 
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 com- 
pletely 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. 

Elberta 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. PRICES ON PAGE 17. 
AMBER GEM. We fruited this variety for the first time this 
year, and can honestly say it is the largest peach we have 
ever seen. It is a semi-cling; shaped like an Elberta and 
ripens same time. Beautiful yellow flesh with deep red 
blush; delicious honeysweet-flavor. Will hang on the tree 
from ten days to two weeks after it ripens. One of the 
best canning varieties known at the present time—used 
extensively by all canning factories. It is extremely hardy 
and very productive. Excellent variety for long distance 
shipping as it will keep several days after being picked. 
PRICE: 10c per tree more than prices quoted on page 17. 
ELBERTA. Standard market peach of the entire country. 
Very large; yellow with red blush; flesh is yellow, ten- ~ 
der and juicy; very highly flavored, rank, vigorous grow- — 
ers. Ripens middle of September. Freestone. See page 
17 for price. ; ; 






HALE-HAVEN. A cross between South Haven and J. H. 
Hale. Freestone. Strong grower, very hardy, heavy bear- 
er; excellent, fine flavor. Ripens 15 days earlier than El 
berta. The best yellow freestone we have seen for year. 
Halo-Hacen See page 17 for price.
