A huge yellow treestone peach which we introduced 
several years ago. Michigold is a semi-early peach of 
‘immense size and extremely high color. Absolutely 
round in shape and for this reason we think it has 
Hale parentage. A perfect pollinizer. Absolutely hardy 
and an excellent shipper. While it has a very tough 
skin, the flesh is golden yellow and very sweet. As 
a commercial grower of peaches we have found that 
our new Michigold peach is a variety that will make 
you more money than Hale Haven, South Haven, or 
Redhaven, and we think it should replace these va- 
rieties. The tree grows somewhat in the manner of 
the willow. That is, the branches droop considerably 
when the tree is young. It is very thrifty, exceptionally 
hardy, and has produced a crop of peaches when 
other varieties were badly injured by extreme cold 
which sometimes happens in Michigan. Priced Below. 
Fairhaven 
A New Michigan Dept. of Agriculture Creation 
Fairhaven originated at South Haven, and is a cross 
between J. H. Hale and South Haven made in 1930, 
and this cross has been on continuous research since 
that time. The season of maturity is a week before 
Hale Haven. 
The Fairhaven tree has shown no sign of weakness, 
and is a very vigorous and productive tree. The pro- 
duction record of this variety has been remarkably 
good. It resists cold to a great degree. The fruit is of 
a very large size, but occasionally it has a tendency 
to fruit heavily such as Hale Haven and Redhaven. 
It-is practically round, of a golden bright color, with 
an accentuated red cheek. It resists browning which 
is a very great advantage to you who may have freez- 
ing units in your own home. It is an absolute 
freestone. Our buds came direct from the 
Experimental Station at South Haven, and we 
offer you trees of the best quality, true to 
name. Priced Below. 

We have budded for fall 1949 and spring 1950 an 
exceptionally large quantity of Fairhaven peaches. 
We will be glad to contract or quote prices to the 
commercial growers who are interested in buying 
this variety in large lots for future delivery. Write 
us for our plan regarding same.

(HONE YGOLD) 
This is the new peach which one of our customers 
named for us. A native of Michigan and a proven 
variety that has all of the good points and none of 
the bad. 
Large Size and Excellent Flavor 
The Hon-ee-gold peach is a marvel in size, being slightly on the 
round type, 10% larger than Elberta, and ripens very late on the 
tree. Has a beautiful red cheek and packs up beautifully in the 
bushel. Hon-ee-gold has an excellent flavor, being golden yellow 
inside with a slight amount of red next to the pit. Somewhat on 
the dry side, which helps its shipping qualities. 
Shipping Qualities 
In our tests this peach simply does not rot, but dehydrates and 
virtually dries up before rotting. Skin texture is heavy like Elberta, 
thus making an excellent peach for shipping. 
Hardy Trees 
Hon-ee-gold is a very thrifty upright growing tree. It has never’ 
winterkilled or shown any winter injury whatsoever.here. It has. 
everything a real peach needs. Freestone. Priced Below. 
WHITE HALE 
THE GIANT WHITE PEACH 
The White Hale is a peach of our own introduction, 
and comes from a bud sport found on a branch of! 
seedling white peach tree grown and produced on 
our own farm. It is extremely hardy as it has produced 
a crop of fruit every year since we introduced it in 
this section. When other varieties are badly frozen 
the White Hale will produce a normal crop of fruit. 
The flavor of this peach simply cannot be described. 
It is honey sweet in flavor and is immensely large in 
size. It has fair shipping qualities and if you have a 
roadside trade or a nearby market, this variety will 
make you a lot of money. Every home should have a 
White Hale peach tree. Freestone. Priced Below. 
NECTARINE 
(Fuzzless Peach) 
{ 


One of the most delicious of 
all fruits. Smooth skin like a 
plum. Has a rich flavor, juicy, 
and highly prized as a dessert 
fruit. Nectarines are as hardy 
as the peach and require the 
same culture. Fruit is a bright 
golden color with slightly red 
cheek. Tree is vigorous and 
bears young. Prices: Medium 
size trees, $1.95 each; 3 for 
$5.40.
