Got 25% More Money for Hal-Berta Giant 
R. Y. Scott of Alabama says that his 40 acres of fruit is 
more profitable than the corn and cotton crops on the rest of 
his 112 acres of land. 
Mr. Scott reports that his Hal-Berta Giant and J. H. Hale 
Peaches bring him highest prices—with Hal-Berta Giant bring- 
ing 25% higher prices than Hale because of the difference in 
ripening season—Hal-Berta Giant coming in the gap just after 
Hales are gone. 
“Another very important point in Hal-Berta Giant's favor,” 
says Mr. Scott, ‘‘is the fact that Hal-Berta Giant is very hardy 
—that it bears even when other varieties fail.’’ 
Hal-Berta Giant—Outstanding 
at Georgia Agricultural College 
Agr. College of Georgia has a test planting of Hal-Berta 
Giant Peaches, and they are so outstanding, that they are 
planting more. Here is a brief outline of their report to us: 
“Hal-Berta Giants bore an excellent crop last year (when 5 
years old) and again this year. With us Hal-Berta Giant fol- 
lows the Elberta crop, and are larger than J. H. Hale—in fact 
Hal-Berta Giant is the biggest peach I have ever seen. 

“The basket we sent to our Governor and his wife created 
a lot of interest, and we have had many inquiries regarding 
this variety. We have told them that Hal-Berta Giant is a 
new Patented variety and trees can be secured ONLY from 
Stark Nurseries.” —T. H. McHatton, State Horticulturist of Ga.

are scarce.”

your Hal-Berta Giant Peach Trees. My 3-vear-old Hal-Berta 
Giant bore a big crop last year. I weighed the peaches here at 
the store, and they weighed from 7% of a pound to more than 
a pound each. I advertised these peaches all over Oklahoma, 
and no doubt you will receive lots of orders on the strength of 
them. One man offered me 50c for two of the peaches (25c¢ 
each).’’—Jess Henson, Pittsburg Co., Okla.
