WILLIAMS’ EARLY RED The Big Red Home or Market Apple Just at the time when people are hungry for a fresh, new red Apple, this superb sort comes into market. In New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities as well as middle western and southern cities, the fruit sells as quick as it hits the market- pouse or dealer’s store. It holds its own anywhere and has proven to be— The Best Summer Apple The rich bright red fruit catches the buyer’s eye and is ordered at a price that yields the grower a good profit. Apple is large, with tender, crisp, white flesh, juicy, slightly tart. The trees come to bearing when quite young, producing freely and steadily. Fine for a filler or permanent tree, and being hardy, can be successfully grown in New England states and Canada. All orchards should include Williams Early Red. A good pollenizer for Red Yorking and Red Rome Beauty Apple trees. Come into bearing earlier. Yield bigger crops of better fruits. Take hold quickly in new locations. The best trees for less money.

Our com- mercial friends should lose no time in anticipating the demand for an Apple of this type. Somewhat of a dwarf grower, bearing very young, it makes an excel- lent filler. The skin is a clear yellow, white flesh, of medium size. A good pollenizer. EARLY APPLE GROWERS MAKE MORE MONEY WITH LARGE TRANSPARENT Yes, actual profits, that’s what we mean. It can be done—here’s why: Yellow Transparent Apples are always first on the market and generally bring good profits when they attain proper size. Size on Yel- low Transparent is hard to get, but easy on its big brother, ‘Large Transparent,’’ which ripens at the same time. Large Transparent Apples Average Up to 12 Inch Larger Than Yellow Transparent—This Means $1.00 to $2.00 per Bushel Extra OTHER SUMMER APPLES STARR. Large, attractive with bright yellowish, smooth skin; sometimes marked with a faint blush and numerous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very tender, crisp, juicy, arcmatic and of extra fine quality, bringing highest prices. Recomemnded to those with nearby markets, but a poor long distance shipper. Popular in Southern New Jersey. DUCHESS OF OLDENBERG. Large, striped, tender, juicy, sub-acid, good; regular and abundant bearer. One of the hardiest. Best pollinizer for early blooming varieties. TWENTY OUNCE. Very large, fine quality, yellow striped red. WEALTHY. Medium to large size; round, almost solid red; flesh white cr a little stained, tender, crisp, juicy, fine grained, aromatic and very good flavor. Relatively good keeper. Old variety most extensively planted in North. Tree is very hardy, withstanding unusually cold climates, vigorous, fruits at early age, bears regular and abundant crops. Tree somewhat dwarf, making a fine filler. EARLY McINTOSH. Resembles its Mclntosh parent in appearance, but is less aromatic. An attractive, uniform red color, good size, flesh white, tender, and juicy. The trees are vigorous, hardy, healthy, pro- ductive, and bear annually if thinned early and severely. The shape and framework of the tree, especially the heavy-butted branches, are like those of McIntosh. The crop ripens ten days later than that of Yellow Transparent. The fine flavor is similar to that of famous McIntosh Red. RED SUMMER RAMBO. A new earlier coloring solid red strain means much greater profits for growers everywhere. SUMMER RAMBO. Large, splashed with red. EARLY RED DUCHESS. Highly colored early Apples bring premium prices, this bud sport colors red all over early in the summer. Excellent pollinizer for Red Gravenstein.

H. Hale, one of its parents; colors several days in advance of its rip- ening, being 2 days later than Golden Jubilee, or 3 weeks earlier than Elberta. This, combined with its very slow rate of softening, makes it an ideal Peach for commercial growers. Hangs well to the tree after the Peaches become firm ripe. When picked hard to firm it is a good long distance shipper. This is the best commercial Peach ripening at this period, and is being planted now by some growers in preference to Golden Jubilee.

S. Plant Patent No. 84. It has now been fruited in all Peach-growing districts in the United States and Canada, and has definitely proven itself to be the best all-around commercial Peach. Ask any man who has grown the Rio-Oso-Gem. THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIFIED PEACH Pn This beautiful Peach has a brilliant, bright red color, running et around 95% good red, whereas they are easy to pack as U. S. Fancy grade. The size of the Peach is all that anyone can expect, as many of these Peaches will run a pound or more in weight and in many instances have been reported that the f crop would average three-quarters pound per Peach. The flam- ing, beautiful bright red color in the cheek, along with an attractive orange-tolored background, has earned it an envious reputation as being the prettiest Peach grown. BEST FLAVORED COMMERCIAL PEACH The unexcelled flavor is better than that of J. H. Hale and Elberta. The enticing flavor makes it a very popular Peach for fresh eating. The rich flavor is retained when canned or preserved. Now recognized as the leading canning Peach in California. Rio-Oso-Gem is the only Peach which can be pro- cessed by quick freezing and still retain its firm texture, with its beautiful, rich, golden yellow flesh and the same flavor as when picked. We have quick frozen Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches which were picked and processed on September 1, 1944, which are still holding up in excellent condition. RECORD BREAKER FOR LONG DISTANCE SHIPMENTS The Rio Oso Gem is the best of all Peaches for long distance shipments and the fruit will stand up longer after being picked than any other variety of Peach in existence. This stupendous variety adapts itself exceedingly well for shipments in refrig- erator cars pre-cooled, under standard refrigeration for trans- continental hauls. This is the greatest Peach for shipments on trucks under ventilation, as its hard, firm texture insures ar- rival in excellent condition. , Destined to be RIO oso GEM America’s Leading =, 7 Commercial Peach.

S. Plant Patent No. 84, from all over the United States, some of the typical remarks Glowing reports have been received from are from people such as Fussell-Graham-Alderson Company, Forest City, Arkansas: ‘“We have every Peach growing district of the United qbout 1,000 of Harrisons’ Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees from which we have been harvesting the States and Canada. During the past two years —_|argest and prettiest Peaches | ever saw. We sold our Elberta Peaches, U. S.

Forest City, Arkansas.’ which is America’s largest Peach area, even Mr. H. Frank Smith, Prop. Hillcrest Orchard, Dover, Arkansas, writes: ‘This year’s crop con- exceeding Elberta, the standard Peach of the vinces me that the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, i sthe very finest Peach and has World. certainly proven such with me. It has very fine qualities as a canner and people go wild about it. It always brings the highest prices for me.’ Mr. Charles Heilig, Sewell, New Jersey, Gloucester County, said that the most handsome and the best Peach of the forty years’ experience that he has had was his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem on 400 trees, three years old, from which he picked during early September 324 bushels and which he sold at an average price of $5.00 per bushel at his farm, grossing him more than $1,600.00 from this very young orchard. He bought 620 Rio-Oso-Gem trees for planting No- vember, 1948, and said his future plantings would be Rio-Oso-Gem. AMERICA’S MOST FAMOUS PEACH Mr. E. R. Connor, fruit grower and broker, of Stephen City, Virginia, in the famous Frederick County fruit section, was exceptionally well pleased with his first crop of Rio-Oso-Gem Peaches on his three-year-old trees which he picked during early September. From his 400 trees, three years old, he picked.a 300-bushel crop for which he was offered $3.75 per bushel, f. 0. b. Ste- phen City, Virginia, for the entire crop, but he refused the sale so that he could sell the Peaches in smaller quantities at high prices to his customers throughout the Shenandoah Valley of Vir- ginia and nearby cities. He planted 100 more trees two years ago which had a few Peaches on them this summer. Connor states he wishes he had 5,000 Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, planted in his Orchard instead of 500. RIO-OSO-GEM IS A “MUST” FOR EVERY GROWER There are still big cash profits in Peaches, provided you grow the right varieties and in the near future you will see where the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, will be getting more Prominence each year. It is predicted that within a decade or so, it will be the most extensively planted commercial Peach in America.

It’s Easy with The Famous True-to-Name Mary Washington Plant This Pedigreed Strain There is no variety of Asparagus as good as Mary Washing- ton and whether you are growing for home use only or for market you cannot afford to grow any other. This wonderful new Asparagus was developed and introduced by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture and although it is just a recent intro- duction it has become famous the country over. Rust-Resistant—Profitable Growers everywhere are discarding all other varieties in favor of the famous Mary Washington, because it is earlier, the stalks are larger, more tender and more productive than any other variety and more highly immune to rust, which means that one planting will produce profitable crops for many years. Large—Early—Tender—Juicy Asparagus buyers now demand Mary Washington and are willing to pay fancy prices to get it. The demand for Mary Washington is tremendous because when it is once eaten, no other variety will give satisfaction. The stalks are purplish green color, large, tender and juicy. A very rapid grower, which means many cuttings. | Prices of Genuine Pedigreed Mary Washington Asparagus Roots | 25 50 100 250 500 750 1000 | Roots Roots Roots Roots Roots Roots Roots 2-Yr.

It is the most popular variety in all America. Ripens several days be- fore Premier and is equally dependable, pro- ducing biq crops every year. The plant_ is healthy and stands up well during drought. The berries are large, firm, an attractive red and good quality. Fine for canning and preserving because it holds its color and shape so well. PSE bas Large Fruit—Vigorous Grower—Heavy Crops Dorsett berries average large size, consider- ably larger than the Premier; in fact, their size is comparative with Chesapeake, which is the outstanding late berry. Plant growth is exceed- ingly vigorous, being far more vigorous than most other varieties. Dorsett yields large crops of fancy, light red berries. FAIRFAX, Early The Sugar-Saving Berry Color is a deep, full red; its rich, sweet flavor brings buyers back for more. Fairfax berries are exceptionally firm, making it an ideal shipper. Superior to all for home use, equal to any for commercial planting. FAALED King of the FMEMIEN $ Early Berries Too well known to need much description. The standard early berry by which all other va- rieties are judged. Holds all records for big crops and big profits. Premier has filled more crates, made more dollars, and brought joy to more Strawberry growers than any other variety ever grown. Adapted to All Soils—Heavy Yielder. It thrives on most any type of soil and is a ram- pant plant maker. Premier fruits extra early when berries are selling at a high price. It is a big yielder of big, bright red berries of fine flavor. For home gardens, local markets, or for shipping moderate distances it has out- classed all the other varieties. oe BIG JO The Old Reliable Midseason Variety LARGE YIELD—FANCY FRUIT FINE FLAVOR Big Joe is a heavy producer of large, brilliant red berries of extra fine flavor and is firm enough to withstand long shipments. The plants are good growers and heavy yielders. This variety succeeds on all types of soil but does extra well with good care and fertility. Be sure to include Big Joe in your planting this spring. Our big yield strain insures big crops. CATS Ki LL Midseason A midseason berry that will produce the largest crops of bigger berries of any midseason variety. Catskill is entirely satisfactory as to firmness, quality, color and attractiveness, sea- son of ripening and climatic adaptation. The highest record of marketable berries was made with this variety. In shipping respects it ranks with Chesapeake and Lupton. It is rated equally as attractive as Fairfax or Dorsett. The berries are borne on rather long fruiting stems which makes it easier to get at in picking. Here is the Easiest Berry to Grow TEMPLE CH ESAP EAK The Favorite Late Berry It is a good producer of very large berries that hold their shape well until the end of the season. It does not yield as many berries per acre as some of the early varieties, but the size and quality of its fruit enables it to sell for a much better price which offsets this dis- advantage. The berries are firm enough to ship to distant markets and to arrive in first class condition. An exceedingly valuable commercial berry but equally adapted for home planting. We offer a selected “’Big Yield’ strain. : ’ HERE’S A NEW ONE as Bes . Extra Good—Very Late This is the other new one by the U.S.D.A., and a cross between the Chesapeake and Fair- fax. This is the late one. Berries are large, and are borne on short, stout stems that stay well under the leaves, thus protecting them from late frosts. Makes a good fruiting row, and plenty of money can be made from grow- ing this one, as late berries always bring a high price. The Successful New Variety—Can Be Grown Anywhere. If you have ever tried raising Strawberries and failed, here is the berry for you to try. It will grow on light, sandy soi! as well as heavy, water-soaked kinds. The quality of this berry is excellent and its plant growing characteristics are supreme. Berries are extra large, firm, beautiful in appearance, fine texture and flavor. Excellent for freezing, canning, eating fresh, also local and long distance shipments. This berry is the result of years and years of cross-breeding work and is unques- tionably the finest new berry for both commercial and home plantings that has been introduced in many years. It has our highest recommendation. Harrison Strawberry Plants Are Bred Up for Bigger Yields and Tell the Story at Harvest Time.
