_ You can depend on Zilke’s Trees to be absolutely true-to-name, perfectly healthy, 
vigorous, well-grown, with well-shaped ripened wood and full splendid root system.

Hale with the perfect fertility of South 
Haven. Freestone. Ripens about two 
weeks earlier than Elberta. Trees grow 
rapidly, bear young, producing heavily, 
never failed a crop. 
Very Hardy and the Best Yellow Free- 
stone Peach We Have Ever Seen. You 
Make no Mistake When You Plant Hale- 
haven. 
ELBERTA 
THE MONEY MAKER 
There is no other peach which has ever 
attained the popularity of this variety. 
It is planted from the south to the north 
from the east to the west where a com- 
mercial peach is desired. It is probably 
too well known. for any lengthy descrip- 
tion. However, it is roundish oval in 
shape, golden yellow skin with a slightly 
red blush on the cheek. It is very thick- 
ly skinned, which gives it its shipping 
qualities. It is a freestone and a self-polli- 
nizer. Trees are quite hardy although it 
will not stand frost conditions as well as 
some other sorts. Enormous producer. 
IMPORTANT 
In ordering Nursery Stock from 
Zilke’s you are assured of getting 
stock that is absolutely fresh in every 
way. Compare fresh trees with those 
that are kept in storage and a dry 
condition for three or four months, 
and see the difference. We absolutely 
guarantee all trees to be fresh, and ar- 
rive in perfect condition. 








REDHAVEN 
World’s Rarest Peach 
THE PEACH THAT SOLD FOR 
$60.00 A BUSHEL 
The first half-bushel of Redhaven 
peaches sold in Benton Harbor, Mich., 
this past summer brought the unbeliev- 
able price of $30.00. Redhaven originated 
at the South Haven Experiment Station 
from a cross made between Halehaven 
and Kalhaven in 1930. It was still un- 
named and known only by number. Ex- 
haustive tests were made over a period of 
years until its real worth and merit as an 
outstanding new peach could be de- 
termined. 
EARLIEST, DAZZLING ALL-RED 
SELF-POLLINIZING PEACH. 
QUALITY UNSURPASSED 
Redhaven matures very early, about a 
month before Elberta. Fruit medium in 
size, of slightly elongated shape, and al- 
most completely covered with a brilliant 
red color. Skin is smooth and tough. Flesh 
yellow, firm, fine textured, sweet, and of 
good quality. A perfectly fertile variety 
and freestone. It is safe to classify Red- 
haven as the outstanding early peach of 
tomorrow. Be the first in your locality 
to possess this rare and most profitable 
variety. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE 
EXTRA EARLY, BEAUTIFUL, 
MONEY MAKER 
This variety was introduced by the New 
Jersey Experiment Station several years 
ago, and it has become immensely popu- 
lar in all sections. It is somewhat oblong 
in shape, and has a brilliant golden color 
with a red cheek on one side. It is golden 
fleshed, very juicy, and is a freestone. It 
is a perfect pollinizer and the tree is ex- 
tremely hardy—produces fruit when other 
trees will be frozen. We do not recommend 
it for long distance shipping.
