Varieties are listed in about the order 
in which they ripen. 
Red Haven. The most promising new early 
yellow variety for either home use or com- 
mercial markets. It is extra early (ripens 
a month before Elberta), brilliant i color 
and fine flavored, being very sweet, juicy, 
and fine textured. An excellent shipper 
with very firm flesh and tough skin; per- 
fect freestone, medium to large size. 
Smooth skin, almost fuzzless. Bears 
heavy crops. Originated at the Michigan 
Experment Station and has been thor- 
oughly tested. 
Early Rose. Fruit brilliant red all over; 
flesh fine grained, tender, and of best 
quality. Tree vigorous, hardy, and an 
early bearer. Tends to overload and should 
be thinned; where this is done, the most 
beautiful Peaches can be grown. They 
carry well. Semi-cling. 
Carman. Few white-fleshed Peaches hold a 
more conspicuous place than Carman. It 
adapts itself to almost any climate and to a 
great variety of soils. Fruit is a brilliant 
red splashed with darker red on a creamy 
white background; very nearly round in 
shape, and is scarcely surpassed in attrac- 
tiveness when packed in a box or basket. 
Quality and flavor very good. Tree is very 
hardy and an abundant producer. 
Florida Jewel. The ideal Peach for Florida. 
Rated by growers there as the best for 
both home and commercial purposes. The 
fruit, besides being earlier, is firmer and 
ships better than that of its well-known 
parent, the Honey Peach. Size medium to 
large; skin tough, pale yellow, washed with 
deep red on the sunny side; flesh firm, 
juicy, white with red at stone. Sweet, 
agreeable flavor; quality very good. Free- 
stone. 
Golden Jubilee. Unusually hardy, resist- 
ing excessive cold; a sure cropper after 
severe winter and heavy frosts. Medium 
to large in size. Ripens almost four weeks 
ahead of Elberta and is considered to be 
one of the best early-ripening varieties. 
Fine flavor, yellow freestone, attractive 
color, and fine texture. Profitable for 
market and excellent for home use. It has 
been thoroughly tested, and we recom- 
mend it highly. 
Rochester. A large yellow Peach with a 
handsome overcolor of mottled red. The 
flesh is thick and firm, marbled yellow, 
stained with red at the pit, juicy, rich, 
sweet. Requires only half the usual amount 
of sugar for canning. The tree comes into 
bearing when very young and is a strong, 
upright grower hardy as an oak. 
Early Hiley. Large freestone Peach. Flesh 
white, with general appearance and qual- 
ities of regular Hiley Belle, but ripens 
about ten days earlier. Was developed 
from sport limb of regular Hiley in southern 
Georgia. Prolific bearer and good shipper. 
A great favorite and very profitable for 
early market. 
South Haven. A fine hardy Peach of the 
Elberta type, introduced by the South 
Haven Experiment Station, which has 
proved to be an excellent variety. The 
tree is very thrifty and productive. It is a 
freestone, yellow-fleshed Peach which 
colors up well and ripens its crop over a 
period of about ten days making it espe- 
cially desirable for Iocal and road-stand 
markets. Of the Elberta type but ripens 
about two weeks earlier. 
Sullivan’s Early Elberta. 
Old-Fashioned Red Indian. 
variety, ripening in the Hiley season, tested 
and released by the U.S.D.A. in July, 1946. 
Ripens about sixteen days before Elberta. 
The fruit is a freestone of medium to large 
size, round, and has little fuzz. The color is 
attractive, with a light red blush covering 
about half of the Peach at shipping stage. 
Flesh is yellow, firm, slow softening, me- 
dium textured, well flavored. The trees are 
vigorous and productive. Blossoms are 
large and self-fertile. 
Hale Haven. The most universally satis- 
factory of any recent introduction and con- 
sidered a premium for every commercial 
orchard. This marvelous new Peach was 
introduced by the Michigan Experiment 
Station and is a cross between the famous 
J. H. Hale and South Haven. Really an 
aristocrat of the first order. Has steadily 
gained in favor because of its size, color, 
good shipping qualities, and hardiness of 
bud. Extremely high color before ripening; 
withstands cold temperatures; very hardy 
and heavy bearer. A perfect freestone, 
yellow-fleshed Peach bridging the gap be- 
tween Golden Jubilee and Elberta. Wher- 
ever you are located, you can’t go wrong 
by planting liberally of our genuine Hale 
Haven. 
Hiley Belle. The earliest commercial free- 
stone, white-fleshed Peach; for many years 
the South’s greatest early commercial va- 
riety. Medium sized, with beautiful red 
blush and tough skim. The flesh is juicy 
and very tender. Good shipper and also 
desirable for home use. 
Champion. Used as the standard to gauge 
the quality of all other white-fleshed 
Peaches. The fruits are as attractive to the 
eye as to the palate. In addition to having 
a pleasant flavor and tender, very juicy 
flesh, it also has a honeyed flavor which 
gives it individuality. Large, round, quite 
regular; yellowish white, mottled red on 
sunny side; flesh white with red at the pit. 
A general favorite of great hardiness. Free- 
stone. 
Amber Gem. Called the frostproof Peach. 
A clingstone variety, huge in size and ex- 
tremely bright red in color, tipped with 
yellow. The tree is thrifty and bears an 
enormous crop of Peaches that are wonder- 
ful for canning. An extremely heavy skin 
makes it very fine for shipping. Very 
hardy, often setting as much as 90% where 
other varieties freeze out. 
This is a bud 
sport of the famous Elberta, ripening a full 
seven to twelve days ahead of its parent. 
The tree and fruit are identical with the 
regular Elberta. Fruit averages large in 
size, is of extra fine quality, and shows good 
shipping ability. It ripens ahead of the 
usual Early Elbertas and Georgia Belle and 
has already become a favorite with com- 
mercial planters. Our trees are propagated 
from the original strain, and we recommend 
them without reservations. 
An old fa- 
vorite that needs no introduction. Very 
highly colored, red as blood to the seed; 
very firm and of excellent quality. Cling- 
stone, especially fine for pickling. A heavy 
bearer, long lived and a favorite m the 
South. No home orchard is complete with- 
out at Jeast one tree of this fine, old variety. 
Belle of Georgia. Leading white variety for 
commercial plantings in all Peach-produc- 
ing areas. Fruit large, with bright attrac- 
tive red almost covering the white back- 
ground. Flesh white, highly flavored, and 
very firm. Trees very vigorous, hardy, and 
productive. Fine midsummer Peach. 
Augbert. 
Gemmers Late Elberta. 
loses its popularity. Highly flavored, fine- 
textured, golden flesh. Skin bright yellow, 
deeply blushed red, nearly fuzzless. Extra 
large, round, uniform fruit, freestone. Very 
hardy, but semi-fertile; plant a pollinator 
about every third row for best results. 
Usually ripens two or three days ahead of 
Elberta. You will be pleased with our 
original strain of luscious J. H. Hales. 
Elberta. Most popular Peach on the market! 
Everyone is familiar with this old reliable 
variety; It continues to be America’s lead- 
ing commercial Peach. Universally planted, 
Elberta leads all others in number of trees 
producing fruit. Its attractive appearance, 
large size and uniformly shaped fruits are 
well known throughout the world. The 
tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty, 
and very productive under most conditions. 
Ripens in midseason. Fruit roundish with 
a pointed tip and thick skin. Flesh yellow, 
stained pink near pit; juicy, firm, but 
tender. Excellent-quality freestone, fa- 
mous for its ability to carry to distant 
markets. You cannot go wrong by choos- 
Ing our superior strain of Elberta. 
A freestone similar to Elberta 
but Iater and in many respects superior. 
At the head of the list for commercial 
planting, to prolong the Elberta season; 
also fme for home orchards, as it is an ex- 
cellent canning Peach. Trees are very 
vigorous and productive. Fruit large, 
round, uniformly shaped. Golden orange 
flesh and skin. Freestone, self-pollinating. 
Gage Elberta. This comparatively recent 
introduction from an Illinois orchard came 
from a bud sport of Elberta and in its 
several years of trial has proved highly 
disease resistant. Tree has many char- 
acteristics of the Elberta, but is more 
spreading in habit of growth and blooms 
come later; usually sets a crop of fruit 
even under unfavorable conditions. Fruit 
is more highly colored than Elberta and 
ripens about five days later. Very well 
adapted to growing conditions in all parts 
of the country, and we recommend it highly. 
Shippers’ Late Red. A splendid Peach to 
follow Elberta, and a favorite wherever 
planted. A large, very highly colored, at- 
tractive red, yellow-fleshed freestone. Good 
quality. Very productive and a good 
shipper. Brings top market prices. Very 
desirable. 
Has all the fine 
qualities of the regular Elberta—beautiful 
color, large size, excellent quality, fine 
shipping and keeping ability, making it the 
favorite commercial variety to prolong the 
shipping season. Ripens about eight to 
twelve days after Elberta, just following 
Shippers’ Late Red. Fruits are very uni- 
form, large, well covered with a brilliant 
red on an attractive golden yellow back- 
ground; almost fuzzless, smooth tough 
skin. Flesh is very firm, slightly tinged with 
red about the pit. Very hardy m both 
tree and bud, and will withstand more 
cold than many varieties. 
Heath Cling. The oldest named American 
Peach now under cultivation. The fruit 
keeps longest, often remaining in good 
condition from October until December. 
Well grown, the Peach has a sweet, rich, 
vinous taste; flesh adheres very tightly to 
the stone, making it excellent for pickling 
and preserving. Skin very white with 
blush; flesh white, slightly red at the pit, 
tender, juicy, and sweet. Commands a 
fancy price in all markets.
