TEXABERTA 
The World’s Most Perfect 
Peach 
A perfect freestone that ripens 
July 10th. This grand peach has not 
missed a crop at Belton, Texas, since 
it was originated 20 years ago..Com- 
bine the best qualities of all peaches, 
add a few and you have Texaberta. 
[t is really a peach of a peach. In addi- 
tion to being frost resistant, it is prac- 
tically free of brown rot when com- 
mon varieties are a complete failure. 
It has dark red flesh around the seed, 
forming into deep yellow toward the 
skin and one of the most. delicious 
peaches you have ever eaten. I sent 
a bushel of Texaberta to some friends 
in West Virginaia and they couldn’t 
believe such a delicious peach was be- 
ing produced in Texas. It grows well 
in mild climates where Elberta is a 
failure, bears very young, is an excel- 

lent shipper and commands top

Melba (Improved Pallas) 
Truly one of my greatest finds in fruit varieties. It is a 
freestone that ripens here about June 5th and will ripen 
in the valley and coastal areas about 15 days earlier. If I 
just raised 1 peach it would be the Melba. The large 
white fruit hangs on the tree until dead ripe and its honey 

flavor cannot be equaled by any other peach. It is a cross 
between the Honey peach and some of our larger white 
varieties. The size is about that of Elberta with the flavor 
of honey type peaches. This variety will make peach his- 
tory in the Texas valley and now that the State Depart- 
ment has authorized citrus growers to plant early varieties 
of peaches the demand is by far greater then we are able 
to supply. Mr. O. M. Bish of Mission, Texas, drove to i 
our nursery and after eating a few of the Melba peaches a 
ordered 16.000 trees. It would pay commercial growers to 
drive to Mr. Bish’s place and see this grand fruit. Re- 
gardless of where you live, if you just plant 1 tree, plant 
Melba. Labeled gray.
