THE VEDETTE PEACH: High quality, disease resistance, 
adaptation over wide producing area, hardiness, shipping 
ability and beautiful coloring combine to make the Vedette 
one of the very good peaches to follow Jubilee. See descrip- 
tion en page 18. 
SULLIVAN’S EARLY ELBERTA (0 
A new bud sport of the famous Elberta, ripening a full 
seven to 10 days ahead of its parent. 
It is proving to be well adapted to the entire Cen- 
tral peach growing area as well as Southern peach 
states. 
The variety found as a bud sport in the orchard of 
Mr. J. P. Sullivan at Zebulon, Ga. The tree and fruit 
characteristics were found to be identical with 
Elberta. Sullivan’s Early Elberta is being planted 
extensively throughout Georgia and adjoining states. 
Our trees are propagated from the original strain. 
We have fruited Sullivan’s Early Elberta now for 
several years in our test orchard and are more im- 
pressed with it each year. It ripens ahead of the reg- 
ular Early Elberta and Belle of Georgia; it averages 
large is size, extra fine quality and shows good ship- 
ping ability. We have long needed a good commercial 
peach to fill this ripening time. Sullivan’s Harly E!- 
berta has real possibilities and we recommend it 
mehly; EARLY ELBERTA () 
A Great Commercial Peach Ripening Just 
Before Regular Elberta. 
Where Quality — Size — Productiveness and 
Beauty Are Desired, Plant Our Old Original 
Strain of Early Elberta. There Is A Difference. 
A great commercial peach in the Central and North- 
ern peach producing areas where the markets are not 
too distant and quality is a deciding factor. One of the 
most beautiful of the Elberta type peaches. A very 
large, attractively colored, yellow fleshed, freestone 
peach ripening with Belle of Georgia or from 3 to 8 
days before the regular Elberta. The highest quality 
peach of all the Elberta types grown commercially. 
The trees are hardy, thrifty and bear consistently. The 
deep lemon yellow colored skin, blushed with bright 
red makes it very attractive and the peach-retains a 
beautiful golden yellow color after being canned. IF 
YOUR MARKET DEMANDS QUALITY AND BEAU- 
TY PLANT THE EBHARLY ELBERTA. Our trees are 
poe from the old original strain of Harly 
Elberta. 
SUMMERCREST (N.J. 94) “la 
A large, oval freestone peach of fine quality, ripen- 
ing with Georgia Belle. The flesh is a deep golden 
yellow, melting and sweet. Tree is exceptionally 
. vigorous, requiring light soil and very little nitrogen. 
Summercrest is hardy as J. H. Hale and adapted to 
regions having a climate similar to central and 
southern New Jersey. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA (1b) 
The White Peach That Has Stood the Test of 
Time and Stands Today as the Leader of All 
White Peaches of Its Season Adapted to Large 
Commercial Plantings in All Peach Producing : 
Areas. 
Fruit large, bright, attractive red almost covering 
the peach with white background. Flesh white, highly 
flavored and very firm and known universally as one 
of the best shipping white peaches in cultivation. 
Tree very vigorous, hardy and productive. Are you 
planting to supply the demand for a good white 
peach? Plant Belle of Georgia. A freestone.

REDSKIN (12) 
A New Introduction by University of Maryland 
Experimental Station (Bred and Tested as Md. No. 1-15) 
The Redskin peach is a product of the Maryland 
University Experiment Station and is the result ofa 
cross between Hale and Elberta. It ripens slightly 
ahead or with Elberta. The tree is vigorous, fast 
growing and productive. Wood is hardy and the buds 
survived the low winter temperatures of 1942-43 
along with the hardiest varieties indicating that it is 
very bud hardy. The fruit of the Redskin is round, 
yellow flesh with little or no color near the pit. It is 
a complete freestone, firm flesh of excellent shipping 
quality, well colored with a deep red blush covering 
the fruit even when ripening under shady conditions. 
In taste, it is aromatic, vinous and sweet. _Due to its 
firmness, it is rated high for canning. Fruit develops 
good size even with heavy load on tree. This new 
variety is recommended for trial for commercial and 
nearby markets. We were fortunate to have this 
variety in our testing block for several years and 
while the variety was released during fall of 1944 
we believe we are the first nursery to offer the trees 
of Redskin for general planting. 
ELBERTA (12a) 
The Famous Elberta Peach Continues To Be 
America’s Leading Commercial Peach 
Year After Year This Great Peach Brings A 
Smile of Satisfaction to the Growers’ Countenance. 
Years of Propagation Have Produced Many 
Inferior Strains of This Famous Peach and Are 
Responsible For Much Unjust Criticism of Quality 
and Type. 
Plant Bountiful Ridge Selected True Strain 
Elberta For Greater Profits and Consumer 
Satisfaction. 
Without question, the greatest commercial peach 
ever introduced. It has proven its ability to adapt it- 
self to varied climatic and soil conditions throughout 
the U. S. and Canada, whether the climate is hot or 
cold, whether the soil is light sand or heavy clay, 
Elberta can be depended on to give you fine results. 
There is no prettier peach when grown under ideal 
conditions. 
The tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty 
and very productive under most conditions. The fruit 
is large to very large, a freestone, skin of deep golden 
yellow and highly colored. The skin is tough and the 
flesh, while tender and juicy, is of such texture that 
the ELBERTA IS FAMOUS FOR ITS ABILITY TO 
CARRY TO DISTANT MARKETS. The quality is 
classed as good, and the slight bitter flavor is pre- 
ferred by many. It is estimated that 50% of all 
peaches planted are Hlberta, As improved types and 
varieties are introduced this ratio is lower but after 
all is said, ELBERTA STILL RHMAINS THE 
WORLD’S LEADING COMMERCIAL PEACH. We 
are propagating our Elberta trees from selected 
orchards of great bearing records and to the old 
original type Elberta. 
12b) A description will hardly do 
iF H. HALE ( ) justice to this fine variety. 
In size it is one-third to one-half larger than the El- 
berta and is more highly colored. The skin is deep 
crimson, smooth, tight, and almost without fuzz. 
Flesh is golden yellow, firm and has a most delicious 
flavor. The pit separates easily from the flesh. It is 
exceptionally valuable as a commercial peach, owing 
to its unusual keeping qualities. Will ship nearly as 
well as an apple.- Fruit ripens a few days before and 
with the Elberta, but it will hang on the tree longer. 
Your planting is incomplete without it. MNote—The 
J. H. Hale does not have an entirely perfect bloom, 
and to get the best results it should be planted with 
some other variety. 
AFTERGLOW (NJ. 84) (13) Usually ripens 
to 5 days 
after Elberta, therefore, often meets good, strong mar- 
kets. Fruits are large, round, oval in shape and al- 
most completely overspread with red. The flesh is 
yellow stained with red about the pit and is free. 
The trees are vigorous and rapid growers, the fruit 
buds appear more hardy than J. H. Hale where 
observed. Recommended for trial in most districts.
