December, 1950, I sent an order to you for 
2 Fruit Trees: 1 No. 102 Starking Delicious 
Peach; 1 No .47 Burbank July Elberta Peach. 
I received both fruit trees in perfect condi- 
tion. In the summer of 1952 I gathered 33 
Peaches on the Burbank July Elberta Peach 
Tree and 29 Peaches on Starking Delicious 
Peach. These are the best peaches I ever 
tasted. 
The reason I have written this is because 
they (my neighbors) said you can’t grow 
peaches so near the Atlantic Ocean (7 miles). 
But I did because they are your Fruit Trees. 
(Starks, the best). 
James Scott, New Jersey. 
The 18 Burbank’s July Elberta Peaches 
that I got from you in 1950 have had three 
straight crops of peaches. Every tree bore 
the second year. I have to thin the peaches 
heavy when small as they set entirely too 
much fruit, The peaches are as good if not 
better than your descriptions. The trees have 
grown to a size almost unbelievably large for 
their age. I have trouble convincing visitors 
that they were planted in 1950.

16 Giant Peaches from 2-Year Tree 
“My Hal-Berta Giant peach tree that I set 
out two years ago that I got from you had 
about sixteen of the loveliest, largest peaches 
I have ever seen. I really boast your trees 
around here.” 
Mrs. Edwin Stewart, Oklahoma.

which I put out in South Mississippi, Decem- 
ber 12th, 1950, had ripe peaches on themafor 
the first time May 23rd. It looks as though 
they will produce on an average of a bushel 
for each tree.

Stark Early Elberta Better Than You Say 
“The writer is taking this liberty of writing 
a personal letter to you relative to the merits 
of your great Stark’s Early Elberta peach. 
Your description of this fine peach in your 
catalog is not sufficient to fully state the 
qualities of this great peach. In plain terms 
you could not possibly ‘Overdo it’ in any- 
thing that you might say about it. 
“I live up here in the very edge of the peach 
belt but last season I raised nearly two bush- 
els of this fine peach from a tree that I 
purchased from you three or four years ago. 
They were the largest and finest tasting 
peaches that I have ever seen.” 
H. fF. Johnson, Nebraska.
