low Freestone. Tremendous in size—often 314 and even 4 inches 
in diameter! In our tests, often larger than J. H. Hale peaches. 
Deliciously flavored, with thick golden flesh. Bore on 114 
year tree only 214 ft. high, in our nursery, after one cf the 
hardest winters in 20 years—with thermometer touching 14° 
below zero. 
Fruit has absolutely no trace of red at seed. Seed is very 
small. A genuine treat to eat fresh and glorious when served 
sliced with cream. A great pride and joy in the home orchard. 
Not a long distance shipper. 
Albert Millsap, Gates Co., Ore., writes: ‘‘The Burbank Giant 
variety is an outstanding peach, both fresh and as a canner.” 
Missouri Experiment Station reports that it is an outstand- 
ing peach among hundreds of varieties which they have under 
test. Ripens about 10 days before regular Elberta and far superior 
in quality. Eating, Canning, Local Market. NCS. Jntro-

often been called ‘‘Red and White Elberta,’”’ but far hardier 
and more dependable bearer year after year than regular 
Elberta. Tree hardy, vigorous, sure bearer. Fruit large size, 
rich creamy white with bright red blush. 
Our Record-Bearing Strain is very large and showy in appear- 
ance and simply delicious in quality. Splendid shipper. Should

You sell the finest trees in the world. My ‘Stark Strain Belle

that people say ‘it is a better variety’.’-—Geo. M. Hartge, Md.

Queen Strain is from the best tree in a large Elberta 
Orchard—larger, rounder and often brings 50c to 
75c more per bushel than regular Elbertas. When 
properly tree-ripened, Elberta Queen is far superior 
in quality, size and appearance to the regular Elberta 
usually seen on the market—Below to right is 
Elberta Queen. Below to left is Regular Elberta. 
Elberta Queen is very large, roundish oval, rich yel- 
low with beautiful red blush—ships well, sells well. 
Regular Elberta is known all over America as the 
standard market peach. Elberta Queen has better 
quality, and is displacing old Elberta as the leading 
commercial peach variety, due to its thicker flesh, 
larger size, better appearance, ability to stand ship- 
ment, adaptability to all peach sections of the coun- 
try, and the fact that it is so well known to con- 
sumers. Tree hardy, bears young and carries im- 
mense crops—a strong grower. Will always be in 
demand on the market. Ripens in Missouri August 
20-25th. Eating, Cooking, Drying, Canning, Mar- 
ket. NCS. Elberta Queen, Stark Strain, Introduced

No. 271. Yellow Freestone. The peach that every orchardist 
wants—one that bears when others fail—when prices are high- 
est. For years we had been searching for a late peach of Elberta 
type with Elberta’s natural market value but larger, better 
quality—and with a much hardier tree. Mr. Harpole, the orig- 
inator, states: ‘‘Hardyberta is the hardiest peach I know. It 
stood 15 degrees below zero 6 years ago and fruited. Many 
trees nearby were killed outright. This winter, one of the most 
severe on record, young 2-year-old Hardyberta trees stood 15 
degrees below zero, came through with live fruit buds and bore 
a crop. Of many other nearby varieties, not a single one had 
any blossoms.’” 
Prof. M. J. Dorsey, Chief of Pomology, U. of Ill., wrote 
enthusiastically: ‘‘About one-third to one-half buds on Hardy- 
berta came through the severe winter. Of all varieties 
planted there, only Hardyberta and a seedling tree came 
through with !ive buds for a crop.” 
Tree strong grower, unusually vigorous, unique heavy dark 
green foliage. 30% larger than Elberta, smooth, attractive 
golden red blush. Flesh yellow, very good quality, much better 
than Elberta, no bitterness, good shipper. All our Giant Hardy- 
berta trees are Original tree, Record-Bearing Strain. Gels ripe 
about 7 to 10 days afler Elberta. Eating, Cooking, Canning,
