Here’s what a Cooperative Growers’ Association representative says 
about the M. A. Blake peach: “Two of our growers have had N. J. 117 in 
production for the past four years, and the trade acceptance has been very 
favorable. Market quotations have averaged from $1.00 to $1.50 per bushel 
higher than other varieties, which mature during the same period. The 
quality and color of N. J. 117 is outstanding and it produces equally as 
well as Summercrest and Elberta. In my opinion it is far superior to either 
Sumercrest or Elberta in every respect.” 
M. A. Blake is an ideal variety to harvest and market between Sunhigh 
and Elberta. It has practically everything desirable in a peach; good size, 
firmness, attractiveness and bright color. It is excellent for canning and 
freezing, productive, resistant to bacterial spot, hardy and a perfect free- 
stone. What more can you expect? Why not order some trees now and 
make sure you will have them for planting this fall or next spring? 
SUNRISE (N. J. 133) 
Sunrise is a firm, attractive, yellow-fleshed peach of medium size, ripen- 
ing ten days to two weeks before Jerseyland. It 1s resistant to bacterial 
spot. The fruit is brighter and more attractive than Early East and Jersey- 
land. It is classified as a semi-clingstone, but is almost a freestone when 
ripe. 
Sunrise generally tops the market in price among the July varieties of 
peaches produced in New Jersey. Early thinning of the fruit is essential to 
the most desirable size at harvest if the set is heavy. The dormant fruit buds 
are as hardy as Golden Jubilee. The trees are less susceptible to peach 
canker than Early East and Jerseyland. 
One commercial peach grower in South Jersey reports that N. J. 133 
(Sunrise) has been his most profitable variety for several years, better than 
Early East or Jerseyland. It has competed successfully on the market with 
southern Elberta. 
Sunrise is an excellent variety with which to start the peach harvesting 
season, particularly in South Jersey. It should have a place in any orchard 
where there is a need for early peaches.
