“Early- Profit” 
PEACH 
Extra Early—Ripens in July 
The earliest peach for northern growers. 
Since its discovery nine years ago, the par- 
ent tree has never missed a crop. We se- 
cured our budwood from this tree; as a 
result. bears tremendous crops—should be 
thinned heavily to insure large Peaches. 
The Peach is practically round; almost 
completely covered with a beautiful, bright- 
red coloring; flesh is yellow, firm and juicy 
—one of the sweetest and juiciest, with a 
wonderful peach flavor. The peach, over 
a period of 9 years, has been a freestone 
six years and a semi-cling three years; we 
believe weather conditions govern these 
characteristics. In planting this variety 
you will be assured of early profits, or 
money in your pocket long before standard 
varieties begin to produce. Extremely 
hardy here in Michigan, and a sure-cropper. 
Price: 10c per tree higher than price 
listed on page 14. 
PERFECT HALE. This variety will produce 
full crops of beautiful, large peaches, BARGAIN NO. 14 
entirely free from all so-called “buttons” 
so prevalent in crops of J. H. Hale, for 
it is self-fertile. Season little later than One each, 5 varieties listed on 
Elberta. Fruit very large; flesh yellow, 
FIVE PEACH TREES FAIRHAVEN. The New Wonder Peach! Early Ripening, 
Heavy Producer, Hardy! Fairhaven was originated in 
the South Haven Experiment Station from a cross be- 
tween J. H. Hale and South Haven. Fairhaven ripens 
this page. All 7/16 inch. about a week before Halehaven and at the end of 
with deep carmine blush. Very hardy Redhaven season. At least half of the fruits of Golden 
freestone. Splendid market variety. See $ ree) pubes will have been harvested when Fairhaven 
age 14 for price. 3- aes 
pas P Fruit is medium-large, nearly round, and mostly 
Net, not prepaid bright golden in color, with an attractive, bright-red 
cheek. The skin is very smooth and tough. Fruits are 
very firm and ship exceptionally well for an early 
peach. Flesh is medium-yellow with a moderate 
amount of red color at the pit, firm-textured and of 
good flavor. It resists browning, which is a great ad- 
vantage, especially in processing. The stone is free 
when fruits are fully ripe. 
Trees are exceptionally heavy producers of fine 
size fruit, are hardy and vigorous, with strong scaf-— 
fold limbs, and have shown no indication of suscept- 
ibility of the trunk to winter injury. 
PRICE: 1-Yr., 3-4 ft. trees, $1.00 each; 10 for $9.00; 
25 for $21.25. 4-5 ft. trees, $1.20 each; 10 for $11.00; 
25 for $25.00. 
SKIBBE‘S ELBERTA. This variety was introduced for the 
first time last year—something brand new. The peach 
is a large, yellow, freestone; round—practically the 
shape of J. H. Hale; self-pollinizing, and ripens right 
after Elberta. Peaches are the size of J. H. Hale, 
which is one of the largest peaches grown today. Fruit 
is yellow, with bright red cheek, with occasional strip- 
ing. Very hardy, and produces full crops of fine size 
peaches annually. See page 14 for price. 
RED-GOLD GIANT (The Improved Hale!). Bears Young— 
Fine Shipper—Exceptionally Hardy! Truly the GIANT 
of the Peach family—many peaches weighing 1 pound 
each—the largest Peach we have ever seen. This new 
variety is a bud-sport of the common Hale, but is 
much larger, and bears heavier, with no signs of “little 
peach” so common in the Hale. A late mid-season 
variety that is almost fuzzless. Ripens a week later 
than J. H. Hale, when Peaches are bringing a premium 
price. A perfect freestone. An excellent shipper. 
Bears at an early age—often one-half bushel the sec- 
ond year. Very hardy. Tree is a more thrifty grower 
than Hale, and seems to be more resistant to brown 
rot than other kinds. 
The fruit is round like the Hale but much larger, 
and bears heavier; skin is golden-yellow heavily 
blushed with red; flesh is golden yellow, firm, solid 
and of delicious flavor. A small pit. 
To get larger crops with this wonderful variety it is 
advisable to plant with other varieties such as Elberta 
and Hale-Haven. 
If you want a peach to surprise your neighbors, buy 
a few of these trees.
