\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 the 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. 
Sensational new PERKINS . 
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 re- 
sembles 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 yellow flesh, 
good production, etc. 
The color photograph reproduced on 
this page will give you some idea of the 
beauty and size of PERKINS, but Mr. Evans 
thought no photo could do justice to this 
marvelous peach. It would truly be difli- 
cult for an illustration to tell the vivid 
story of the dark red bush of the PER- 
KINS with its rich undertones of yellow— 
gleaming fruits and red and gold against 
dark green leaves. 
What a peach! You'll thrill to the PER- 
KINS’ rich red and gold color; you'll ap- 
plaud its delicious flavor, marvel at its 
tender flesh and delicious flavor. You'll 
like its sweetness—without the bitter 
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 PERKINS.

30 YEARS INVESTED FOR YOU 
After more than 30 years of selecting 
and breeding peaches, Mr. Evans con- 
sidered the PERKINS his ‘perfect peach,” 
for he said that it had all he could ask 
for in a peach—a red and gold “beauty”; 
a perfect freestone with sweet, delicious 
yellow flesh, “big, beautiful, and sure- 
bearing.” 
use instead of Dixigem where a variety of 
ess chilling requirement is necessary. In other 
words, can be used south of the area where 
Dixigem will succeed. 
~\RANGER. One of the newer USDA introductions 
Yellow-fleshed freestone, ripening about 
weeks before Elberta. Superior to Golden 
ubilee. 
“ATRIOGEM. Still one of our good varieties until 
something better can take its place. Large 
size; attractive yellow-fleshed freestone. 
SS. P. This un-named peach is probably a seed- 
ing 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 
quality, ripening approximately 2 weeks ahead 
of Elberta. 
“ REDSKIN. A yellow-fleshed freestone ripening 
with and superior to Elberta in quality. It's 
ow chilling requirement also permits it to be 
used farther south than the Elberta. A heavy 
producer. 
\\sHoRT. Introduced by the late J. A. Evans of 
Arlington, A large, beautiful freestone, ripen- 
ing with Elberta. Trees characteristically low- 
growing and spreading. Mr. Evans said he 
got more peaches from one row of Short than 
trom four rows of Elberta. Mr. Short, at whose 
home the seedling appeared, said he once 
weighed 11 peaches that weighed 16 pounds.

~\CHARLOTTE GIANT. Introduced by the late J. A 
Evans of Arlington who said, before he had the 
Perkins, that it was the climax of more than 
20 years of selecting and breeding peaches. 
This is a very beautiful, large, firm, yellow- 
fleshed freestone of red and gold. It colors 
several days before it ripens. Mr. Evans in- 
troduced this peach some years ago—a late- 
ripening peach that came at a time when the 
Oriental Fruit Moth could not be controlled 
and no late peach had a fair trial. Now, with 
modern successful methods of controlling peach 
insects, we think the Charlotte Giant should 
be thoroughly tested. It never missed a crop 
during a 20-year period in his orchard.
