“Sold 280 Bushels from Trees in Ground Only 
2 Years, 4 Months’’ 
“Mr. McCane, Polk Co., Ark., phoned long distance and 
is very anxious to get some Burbank’s July Elberta Peach 
Trees. He said that from 300 July Elberta trees, 2 years and 
4 months in the ground, that he sold 280 bushels of beautiful 
peaches.”’ 
Loaded When Others Fail 
“February freeze while peaches were in bloom killed all 
my peaches except July Elberta. I have 100 July Elberta 
trees which began bearing at 2 years. This year they 
bore from 114 to 214 bushels per tree and I think July 
Elberta the outstanding peach among many choice 
varieties I grow. The quality, color, taste and shipping 
qualities of Burbank’s July Elberta are unexcelled. 
Their early bearing and quick growth are added charac- 
teristics which would cause me to plant more July Elberta 
trees.’’ Logan Fain, Morris Co., Texas. 
“Bear in Spite of Drouth and Cold’”’ 
“T have 15 four-year-old July Elberta trees. They 
stood 3 years of bad drouth and heat and the cold of 
Nebraska winters and still came through with a big 
money crop. If I set more peach I will set July Elberta.’’— 
N. White, Otoe Co., Nebraska. 
“Highly Recommended for Michigan” 
“T attended the big peach meeting at Michigan Experi- 
mental Station. July Elberta and Hale-Haven were the 
two outstanding peaches. July Elberta has a brilliant red 
color, high quality and is satisfactory in every way. July 
Elberta is recommended by Michigan Station at this time.’’ 
—Ward Lockwood. Later—‘‘Again this year July Elberta 
made a sensational record at the Mich. Exp. Station— 
magnificent quality—ripened 6 days ahead of Hale-Haven.” 
“Best Shipper—Never Drops Off Tree’’ 
“Burbank’s July Elberta is the best shipper of any peach 
we have,” declared A. O. Eckert who grows all of the best 
varieties in his Illinois orchard. 
“July Elberta never does drop. Will hang on the tree and 
be good to eat for a month after the first ripe ones are picked. 
We color and size picked them five times this year. You can 
pick them and then, by golly, you can go back in a few days 
and pick more big ones. July Elberta is a heavy bearer. In 
spite of that, if you color and size-pick them you get big 
peaches,’’ declares Claude Ator, Illinois. 
Bore at 2 Years and Bore 9 Straight Crops 
H. Frank Smith, large commercial grower, made a test 
planting of Burbank’s July Elberta. These trees started 
bearing at 2 years old and have borne 9 straight crops 
bearing even when Elberta in the same orchards were 
failures, or bore just a trace. 
Commercial Growers Say They Would Gladly Pay 
$5.00 per tree if necessary for this wonderful peach. 
Growers in the great Clarksville, LaMar, Russellville, 
Arkansas Peach District declare they would gladly pay 
$5.00 per tree, if necessary, to get Burbank July Elberta trees.

Very Hardy—thrives in 
days before Elberta. 
“*$600.00 Net Profit from 24 Acres” 
Louis Christ, Orchardist, of Mo., says ‘I decided to try a 
small planting of Burbank July Elberta and Hal-Berta 
Giant peach trees. Last year both of these varieties bore 
and brought highest prices. Although there was a big 
fruit crop all over the country, I sold 200 bushels of Hal- 
Berta Giants (from 40 trees) for $2.25 to $2.50 a bushel. 
Again this year, I have a bumper crop—130 bushels 
of July Elbertas and my 40 Hal-Berta Giant trees are 
loaded again this year. I am getting $3.00 to $3.50 a 
bushel for them right at my orchard. July Elberta 
and Hal-Berta Giant are two of the finest, most profit- 
able. They are making me ten times the profits I get 
from the same acreage in wheat.’’ 
‘*2 Bushels per Tree from 2-Year Trees”’ 
“Just a line. As you recall I received some Burbank’s 
July Elberta Peach Trees on April 7th two years ago. I am 
proud to state they bore a nice crop this year, 2 bushels and 
over per tree—the finest I ever saw. They are fast growers. 
Sure Proud of them.”’ 
T. C. Bradshaw, Tipton Co., Tenn. 
“‘Best Peach for West’’ 
“With us July Elberta ripens ten days to 2 weeks before 
Stark Early Elberta and both years since it started to 
bear (when only 3 years old) has fruited when other 
varieties failed. This year July Elberta bore a heavy 
crop after 24 below zero. 
“July Elberta is the best peach the West has ever 
put on the market. Brings $3.00 to $4.50 a bushel and 
is making us more money than any other peach 
variety.’’ C. M. Blazey, Asotin Co., Washington.

‘‘Always Loaded’’ 
“My 10 July Elberta Peach Trees began bearing whet 

3 years old and they are always loaded. It ripens 22 days 
before Elberta. I get highest prices for my surplus July 
Elbertas.'’—Peter Bohland, Clark Co., Ohio. 
‘‘Fine in Canada’”’ 
“July Elberta is a very fine peach with us. The trees 
have borne heavily every year since their second season. 
The tree is a very good grower. The fruit itself is of good 
quality and size.’’—A. Grant Fox, Ont., Canada. 
Bore at 2 Years Old in Pennsylvania 
“T have 100 July Elberta Peach trees 4 years old which 
bore their first crop when 2 years old, when other 
varieties were failures. All my customer ay July Elberta 
is as fine a peach as they ever tasted.”.—Kenneth ( lark, 
Snyder Co., Pa. 

“A Winner— Youngest Bearer’’ 
says N. Y. Fruit Expert 
J. Carl Ward, addressing N. Y. Hort. Society on ‘What 
Varieties of Peaches Shall I Plant’ said: 
“A peach which looks to me like a winner is Burbank’s 
July Elberta. We have a planting of 400 trees, It has 
excellent size, wonderful scarlet coloring, so brilliant 
that fruit on young trees can be seen a great distance. It 
has very firm meat, a small pit and isa perfect freestone. 
Its flavor is very unusual—to me it tastes like a blending 
of Early Crawford and J. H. Hale. I picked as many as 
20 peaches from trees which were l-year old the pre- 
ceding Spring.’’
