!\ PERKINS. Introduced by the late J. A. Evans of Arlington, 
formerly Horticulturist for the Texas A & M 
College. He considered this peach, named for his good friend 
J. J. Perkins of Wichita Falls, the finest peach of all his in- 
troductions. 
Big! Beautiful! Delicious! 
“Out with the old, in with fhe New!” 
Many of,our old familiar white-flesh and 
sometimes inferior peach varieties are rapidly being replaced by attractive, yellow- 
fleshed varieties of high quality. Such oldtimers as Mayflower, Early Wheeler, Hiley, 
etc., are fast disappearing. 
Newer, and better varieties, with non-browning flesh for 
quick freezing, resistance to bacterial spot and lower chilling requirements are push- 
ing rapidly to the forefront, ready to make peach production safer and more profitable; 
provide the housewife with better peaches over a longer period of time. 
“HIGHLAND. Developed and introduced 
by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Ripens 
five days earlier than Dixired. Cling- 
stone, medium size, light pubescence, 
attractively colored. Vigorous, produc- 
tive. Should be preferred where win- 
ters are too warm for Cardinal. At- 
tractive red blush at shipping stage. 
N CARDINAL. Developed and _ introduced 
by the U.S. Dept’ of Agr. The earliest 
yellow - fleshed clingstone. Attractive. 
Firm enough for shipping. Plenty of 
red color, 
“REDCAP. Developed and introduced by 
the U.S. Dept. Agr. Resembles Dixired 
but ripens day or two earlier. Cling- 
stone. Attractive red blush at shipping 
stage. Good flavor, melting yellow 
flesh. Useful for winters without enough 
cold for Dixired. 
“CORONET. A recent introduction of the U. 
S. Dept. Agri. Attractive yellow-fleshed 
freestone that will compete with Dixi- 
gem. Promises to be a very desirable 
variety. 
Y RANGER. One of the newer USDA intro- 
ductions. Yellow-fleshed freestone, rip- 
ening about 4 weeks before Elberta. 
Superior to Golden Jubilee. 
Ripens after Elbertas are gone... to 
delight you when you want peaches 
most and can't get them! 
This remarkable peach is thought to be 
a seedling of Charlotte Giant, which it 
resembles very much. Mr. Evans called 
this his “perfect peach,” for he said it 
had all he could ask for in a peach— 
large size, attractive color, melting yel- 
low flesh, good production, etc. 
This color photograph reproduced on 
this page will give you some idea of the 
beauty and size of PERKINS, but Mr. Ev- 
ans thought no photo could do justice 
to this marvelous peach. It would truly 
be difficult for an illustration to tell the 
vivid story of the dark red blush of the 
PERKINS with its rich undertones of yel- 
low—gleaming fruits and red and gold 
against dark green leaves 
| TRIOGEM. Still one of our good varieties 
until something better can take its 
place. Large size, attractive yellow- 
fleshed freestone 
/ 8.P. This un-named peach is probably a 
seedling of Charlotte. Originated and 
introduced by O. S. Gray Nursery at 
Arlington, Texas. Has been a regular 
producer of fine, attractive red, yellow- 
fleshed freestone peaches of good qual- 
ity, ripening approximately 2 weeks 
ahead of Elberta. 
\ REDSKIN. A yellow-fleshed freestone rip- 
ening with and superior to Elberta in 
quality. Its low chilling requirement 
also permits it to be used farther south 
than the Elberta. A heavy producer. 
NOTE: Peaches from some of these new- 
er, earlier ripening yellow-fleshed va- 
rieties have been bringing $6 to $10 
per bushel to the grower, and the 
trees have been in great demand for 
planting. Many are far superior to 
Elberta. 
What a peach! You'll thrill to the 
PERKINS’ rich red and gold color; you'll 
applaud its delicious flavor, marvel at 
its tender flesh and delicious flavor. 
You'll like its sweetness—without the bit- 
ter whang of Elbertas. You'll like when it 
ripens especially—when the Elbertas are 
gone and you want peaches most of 
all you'll have an abundance of PER- 
KINS.
