DISCOVERY OF THE HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT
This sensational new peach was discovered by Mr. Oscar F. Jones, near
Crozet, Virginia in the famous mountainous Albemarie County section. He was
manager for more than 30 years for the A. C. Bruce orchards, who planted
many thousands of Harrison grown peach trees, starting in 1902. A life long
horticulturist, he is a pioneer in one of the largest peach growing districts of
the United States.
WHAT PROMINENT GROWERS SAY
Mr. C. Purcell McCue, Greenwood, Virginia—’’Personally, | feel this peach
will replace ELBERTA in this section.”
Mr. C. E. Starkweather, Crozet, Virginia—It bears larger, better colored
eaches even with a heavier crop than the Elbertas do.”
Mr. Lee T. Carpenter, Louisa, Virginia—‘If it proves out in tests as good
as it is in its original habitat | consider it to be the greatest find since Elberta
in the 1870's.”
Mr. Edward D. Dcugherty, Crozet, Virginia—‘’] know something of the
HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT and consider it a very unusual variety which will
soon replace Elberta if properly distributed and advertised.”
Mr. H. P. Rhodes, Winchester, Virginia—’The 500 Hale Harrison Brilliant
peach trees | got from you and planted during November of 1949, that 498
are growing and have made a tremendous growth with dark green, healthy
leaves and sturdy limbs. | was over to Crozet this summer and got three bushels
of this amazing peacn from Mr. Oscar Jones, they were off of the parent (16
years old) tree, which had probably twenty bushels which he sold off the tree
for $4.50 per bushel. They were the most perfect example of a very large,
delicious firm peach | have ever seen. Will eventually replace Elberta. | want
to plant another block, as | believe and all of the fruit men of Winchester,
Virginia agree with me, that this peach is the answer to a fruit grower’s prayer.’
Several hundred half-bushel cell type paper cartons of HALE HARRISON
BRILLIANT peaches grown in Northern Virginia were shipped during August
1955 from New York City by steam-ship under refrigeration to Buenos Aires,
Araentina, South America, being twenty days in~transit. Peaches arrived in
GOOD CONDITION bringing FABULOUS PRICES.

The Peach of the Future
ee HALE HARRISON
U.S. Patented BRILLIANT No. 814
Sensational! New! Colossal!
Yellow freestone ripening during midseason 3 to 4 days
earlier than Elberta. The fruit ts nearly fuzziess and
has a brilliant cardinal red almost completely covering a
golden yellow ground color even when growing in shade
in the interior of the tree. Fruit throughout the tree is
uniformly large even when unpruned or unthinned. Tree
is large, vigorous and rapid lady Self pollinating, it
bears tremendous crops year after year. Very hardy in bud
and blossom and highly resistant to brown rot. Keeping
qualities are excellent
FOR HOME OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARD
Whether you are goi to plant one tree for home
fresh eating, canning or zing or one thousand trees
for a commercial orchard, we unhesitatingly recommend
Hale Harrison Brilliant as the best peach to plant. It will
give you more pleasure to eat or more profit in growing
than any other peach known today.
WILL REPLACE ELBERTA
For many decades Elberta has been the standard peach
of the world by which all peaches have been judged,
tests and observations by leading peach authorities con-
firm our belief that the new sensational Hale Harrison
Brilliant surpasses the Elberta in every way.
OUTSELLS AND OUTBEARS
Hale Harrison Brilliant outclasses them all. It is really
the one peach that has everything. Its beautiful attractive
appearance, huge size, superior delicious flavor makes it
have extraordinary favorable eye appeal, resulting in
higher prices. This combined with its BUMPER crops,
“Original tree has produced over twenty bushels a year”
make it the outstanding moneymaker.
WIDELY ADAPTED
Hale Harrison Brilliant has been planted in forty-
two states. Reports from these plantings prove it is
equally as adaptable to the far south as it is in central
and western areas and it even produces highly satisfactorily
in Canada and other northern peach sections.
LONG PICKING SEASON
One of the finest features of Hale Harrison Brilliant
is its early coloring, the golden yellow ground color
appears weeks before it begins to ripen, this is the one
peach that has a high sugar content even when it is
hard. Fruit growers have been amazed at its ready to
eat coloring and general smooth skin appearance several
days before it is re to pick and ship, this means a
long picking season. Records show that it surpasses in
keeping qualities any other peach on long distance ship-
ments.
HARRISONS AMAZING GUARANTEE

fruit authorities convince us as to the outstanding merits
of Hale Harrison Brilliant that we can make the following
guarantee.
“Each and every Hale Harrison Brilliant is a true re-
production of the original strain, it will produce more
satisfaction to you than any other peach variety that

The World's Greatest Peach AT NEW = aides
The sensational Peach which has caused the greatest amount LOWER MARYLAND
of favorable reports of any Peach introduced in a half century PRICES
is that marvelous, big Peach, the World’s largest, being a pat-
ented variety, the Rio-Oso-Gem, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84.
lt has now been fruited in all Peach-groéwing districts in the
United States and Canada, and has definitely proven itself to
be the best all-around commercial Peach. Ask any man who
hos grown the Rio-Oso-Gem.
THE BEAUTIFUL GLORIFIED PEACH
This beautiful Peach has a brilliant, bright red color, running
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
crop would average three-quarters pound per Peach. The flam-
ing, beautiful brignt red color in the cheek, along with an
attractive orange-colored 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 ofter 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.

RIO-OSO-GEM IS NO EXPERIMENT Peach, U. S. Plant Patent No. 84, from all over the United States, some of the typical remarks
Colonel and Mrs. Frank Sleeter, Round Hill, are from people such as Fussell-Graham-Alderson Company, Forest City, Arkansas: “‘We have
Virginia, wrote, ‘‘We have the land ready for about 1,000 of Harrisons’ Rio-Oso-Gem Peach trees from which we have been harvesting the

the summer of 1949.” 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 November,
. and said his future plantings would be Rio. Ozo-Cem
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.

Harrisons’ “Bud Strains’
_ Some sixty years ago, and almost every year
since, Harrisons’ have planted orchards, not
alone for fruit but principally to secure the type
of parent fruit tree that was characteristic of a
“variety” dominant in bearing qualities coupled
with health, vigor and ability to withstand
changeable climatic conditions. This type of tree
became the parent supplying the budding stocks
for future orchards in America and true-to-name
varieties were assuréd.
A TuLIP. Very early. New variety originated by Missouri Fruit Experiment Station. Ripens at
same time as Dixired and Redcap being six weeks earlier than Elberta. Medium to large
size nearly round with good red color even before picking time, flesh, yellow, firm, fine
texture, excellent flavor, free-stone. Stands shipping well.
AN SHINN‘S DELICIOUS. A true mutation, being very early ripening budsport strain of Burbank
July Elberta, U. S. Plant Patent #15, discovered by Mr. C. T. Shinn and Mr. L. S. Smith in
their orchard near Russellville, Arkansas. Identical in large size, beautiful red color with
handsome golden yellow background color, yellow flesh, freestone and superior flavor as
its parent, however, its most appealing characteristic is that it ripens three weeks sooner,
between Red Bird and Red Haven, making it about five weeks earlier ripening than
Elberta. Many growers say it is better than Starking Delicious peach U. S. plant patent #806.

Early midseason. Ripens just after Golden Jubilee has been harvested
and about 14 days ahead of Elberta. Yellow freestone, large, high red
color, firm, fine flavored. It takes on red color early and the peaches
show good red color several days before ripening, which gives it a distinct
advantage for marketing. When allowed to ripen fully upon the trees its
flavor is undoubtedly the best of any yellow Peach. Tree is an extra
strong grower and produces a bumper crop of fruit each season. Very
hardy in fruit bud. One of its parents is J. H. Hale, from which it inherits
its large size and fine color. The other parent is South Haven from which
it attains hardiness, large crops yearly and strong growth. It is the best
variety ripening just after Golden Jubilee and should be planted in every
orchard. Excellent for fresh eating and quick-freezing.
BURBANK JULY ELBERTA ssc...
The Outstanding Medium Early Commercial Peach
Here is the peach that has caused a sensation wherever fruited. Grow-
ers in many sections say it is their best medium early, yellow, freestone
peach for shipping, local markets and home use. Beautiful golden yellow,
almost completely overspread with brilliant red. Ripens about the same
time as Hale Haven, but on account of its vivid red color and yellow
background with no green color, it can be picked for commercial ship-
ments about four days sooner. Excellent in flavor, even superior to Hale
Haven for fresh eating, freezing and canning. Hardy, sure cropper, large
size, a sensational money maker. July Elberta is known by different

~\ CHAMPION. A Good Home Peach. White, freestone, very large; creamy
white with red cheek, sweet, juicy, very high flavor. Champion has
lost its past commercial importance because it will not carry satis-
factorily under refrigeration, but as a home garden or a roadside
Peach, it is one of the best. Tree is hardy, large grower and pro-
ductive. Ripens ten days earlier than Elberta.
“ SUNHIGH. (N. J. 82.) A large, red, bright, smooth Peach which colors
well all over before it ripens, softens slowly, making it a good com-
mercial Peach. Flesh inclines to adhere to the pit when hard ripe.
The variety seems to do best in hilly sections and requires thorough
summer spraying. The fruit is large, roundish,- thick-skinned, very
uniform in size. Color deep llow with red cheek. Stone is free.
Ripens approximately 18 days before Elberta, at a time to bring high
market prices.
N HILEY. White. Early midseason. Bears huge crop of fancy Peaches.
Freestone, medium size, highly red colored and is a very handsome
Peach of exceptionally good flavor. Tree is strong grower, very
healthy and an extra heavy bearer. Hiley resembles Belle of Georgia
but ripens about 14 days earlier.
~. SOUTHLAND. Early midseason, yellow, freestone, medium to
large, round, attractive red blush with mild, good flavor. Origi-
nated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, being an ideal
peach for the extreme Southern peach Belt. Vigorous tree, pro-
ductive and fruit ripens at the same time as Hiley. Promising
commercial peach.
\ SUMMERCREST. (N. J. 94.) Midseason, yellow, freestone,
large with red blush and sweet flavor. Trees exception-
ally vigorous, fruit ripens the same time as Belle of
Georgia, which is a few days earlier than Elberta. Pop-
ular in New Jersey where it is known.
GOLDEN EAST. (N. J. 87.) Early midseason. Very large,
high red color, yellow, freestone. Very good flavor.
Ripens 15 days ecrlier than Elberta. Good roadside
market and commercial Peach.

Internationally Famous—The Standard by
Which All Other Peaches are Judged
Midseason. Yellow, freestone. Fruit is large to extra
large; golden yellow with brilliant shades of red; firm,
iuicy, rich, sweet and good flavor. Elberta has the
greatest international reputation of any Peach. It has
been the standard for all other Peaches almost since
the date of its introduction. The coloring of Elberta
is practically perfect. The rich, yellow skin is almost
entirely covered with dark red blush upon the sunny
side. The attractive appearance and uniform large
size serve to sell it almost on sight. We offer original
strain trees which is the best strain obtainable.
Save Disappointment—Plant Only Harrison
ORIGINAL STRAIN Elberta
Today, there are more than seven distinct types and strains of Elberta, bearing
fruit in the orchards of this country. To compare the various sizes, shapes, texture
and red coloring of these Elberta with those grown “‘on original strain trees” gives
sufficient reason why they sold this year at a premium of $1.00 to $2.00 per bushel
on the New York and other leading fruit markets.
They Cost No More
Why plant degenerated strains of Elberta when you can plant Harrisons’ heavy
yielding original strain trees. They can be purchased at the lowest price that high
quality trees can be produced for. It is true trees, size by size, can be produced
cheaper by budding them from non-fruiting trees in the nursery row, but this
method causes degeneration. Trees grown in this manner will be lighter croppers
and reauire a lancer time in. coming into bearing.

Harrisons’ Selected “Big Yield’ Strain—Best Home Orchard Apple
Autumn, medium sized, golden yellow, tender, rich, aromatic, sub-acid, delicious,
possibly the best flavored Apple known, and a good keeper. No better variety
exists for eating raw or for cooking. Tree is very hardy and one of the heaviest
bearers known, producing extra large crops annually. Excellent variety for a filler,
as it comes into bearing very early. Grimes Golden is the best pollenizer known,
especially for Stayman Winesap, Lowry, Baldwin, Cortland, Rome, Winesap,
Me dnicenand others. Be sure to include Grimes Golden in your orchard. IT IS EASY
\ YELLOW DELICIOUS [t's Golden!

think it superior to the famous Delicious. Fall.
A Prolific Cropper at an Early Age _
The Yellow Delicious tree is very thrifty, hardy, and a vigorous grower. It is
renowned for its heavy bearing of fruit at a very early oge. You can depend on
a good yield of ripened fruit each year. Excellent pollenizer for all varieties.
Big Yield Strain. Without a doubt the heavi-
\ STAYMAN WINESAP est yielding strain of Stayman Winesap ob-
tainable. This strain yields bumper crops year after year. It colors to a good bright
red and gets nearly solid red colored when allowed to stay on trees until fully ripe.
This is an improved strain and is preferred by many growers in the East. Tested and
time-proven by thousands of growers.
{ McINTOSH RED
Improved Type—Heavy Yielding Strain Preferred by Many Growers in the North.
Until the discovery of our New Super Red Mcintosh our improved Mcintosh Red
was the best strain of Mcintosh available. It colors solid red when climatic and
soil conditions allow it to remain on the trees until it is mature. This heavy yield-
ing strain is much superior to any strain of McIntosh, especially the dull striped
kinds. If you do not have trouble getting sufficient color then we recommend you
planting this time-proven, heavy yielding strain. Mcintosh Red is very hardy and
produces bumper crops each year. Generally considered as the best flavored Apple
grown. Recommended for home or commercial orchard plantings.

bear very young.
\ RHODE ISLAND GREENING. The Popular Northern Apple. Large, green-
ish yellow; flesh crisp, juicy, quite acid, firm, fine grained, tender,

barrel Apple, brings good prices. Coneraily lanted in New England,
New York, Michigan and Cancda, but not advisable to plant south of
the Mason-Dixon line.
ROME BEAUTY. Large, round, red, flavor and quality above average.
RX RED LOWRY. Red bud sport strain, identical with its parent Lowry in
all respects with the exception that it has very much higher red color
and when matured full red color. It can be picked 2 to 3 weeks

SOLID RED WINESAP—rine riavored, Long Keeper
BRILLIANT COLOR
We offer to the public the great-
est strain of Stayman Winesap ever
discovered. It is a true bud sport
found in a Stayman Winesap or-
chard. Scarlet Red Stayman takes
on bright’ red color weeks earlier
than ordinary Stayman. Its ripen-
ing date is the same but can be
picked earlier if desired.
A Ready Market at Top Prices
Scarlet Red Stayman is the best
general purpose Apple for planting
in the East. Its solid scarlet-red
color and its bright attractive fin-
ish causes it to command highest
market prices. The fruit is large
and it produces bumper crops each
year.
plenty of color when planted in
most sections, but for those grow-
ers who want a more solid red-
colored Winesap, we recommend
our new Strain.
THE APPALACHIAN WINNER
~RED YORKING
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 125)
The Red Yorking is a “bud
sport’’, being a mutation of the
famous York Imperial. This ‘‘bud
sport’’ originated on a tree, grown
with other York Imperial trees, in
Harrisons’ Nurseries and later sold
to Mr. W. H. Allison, near Ship-
pensburg, Penna., for use in plant-
ing a large orchard about 40 years
ago.

-\| RED ROME BEAUTY
| An improved Rome Beauty, iden-
_ tical in vigor and production. Color
of fruit much brighter and solid red.
Produces much higher percentage
of fancy Apples and also superior
_ in quality to the ordinary strain of
Rome Beauty. Red Rome Beauty
is renowned for bearing at a very
early age, producing bumper crops
of large size Apples. The tree is a
vigorous, strong grower, exceeding-
ly hardy. Pacific Coast strain. Has
always been very popular.
NEW STRAINS OF
RED ROME
Can supply two new additional
red budsport strains known = as
~ C. and O. Red Rome also C. and
©. Red Rome number 262.
SUPER RED McINTOSH
A new strain of McIntosh Red
that starts coloring earlier and pro-
duces a larger percentage of extra
fancy fruits. Super-Red McIntosh,
when allowed to mature on the
trees, is slightly darker in color
than our regular improved MclIn-
tosh Red. Has all the best qualities
of ordinary McIntosh and will
mean larger profits for growers
who have been unable to get suf-
ficient color. McIntosh has been
the favorite in the North; this new
strain extends the planting area
farther South. The most highly
colored solid red strain available,
regardless of price. We have some
exceptionally good one-year trees
and tine two-year trees to offer
this season. Plant McIntosh strain
of Apples for big profits, equally
as good in home orchards as it is
/commercially.

HOME OR COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS
\( RED SPY
A new ‘‘bud sport’’ from New
England. Identical with the ordi-
nary Northern Spy in fruiting hab-
it. Extra large size fruit, strong,
vigorous, hardy trees. Comes into
bearing earlier than the ordinary
strain. Colors early, nearly every
Apple being solid red in color. We
recommend it for commercial and
home plantings in northern states. -
BRIGHT RED JONATHAN
We searched the country over
to find a strain of Jonathan that
had more color than our selected
Big Yield Strain of Jonathan. After
thousands of miles of travel in-
specting all of the new strains of
this famous variety we found the
one we had been looking for. It
colors solid red several days earlier,
otherwise it is identical with ordi-
nary Jonathan. Growers who want
more, deeper colored apples will
find our Bright Red Jonathan the
best colored strain obtainable.
\( RED GRAVENSTEIN
Here is the Apple that has been
overlooked by eastern growers
Old-fashioned Gravensteins
been grown in tremendous volume
during the past twenty-five years,
mostly in California, a few in the
Eastern States. The old strain lacks
the color to make it sell. Our new
Red Gravenstein colors a_ solid
bright red long before it is ripe.
The quality of Red Gravenstein is
extra good for an early Apple and
its ability to carry to distant mar-
kets, even after it gets solid red,
makes it command the highest
prices.

If you want something different, something delicious
in garden fruits, then plant some of this grand new
MacDonald Rhubarb.
Stalks are of giant size on mature plants, and a rich
rosy red in color. This beautiful color carries through
the stalk. Sauce made from it has the red color of a
dish of Strawberries. Flavor is mild and pleasing. This
new Rhubarb does not send up seed stalks and never
becomes tough or stringy. Just cut in small chunks and
cook. Do not remove the tender skin; it cooks right up
with the stalk.
Heavy plants: $1.00 each; 6 for $5.40.

The Apricot is one of the most delightful luscious fruits grown, when eaten fully ripe and fresh from the

since it ripens just after the early Cherries and before the best early Peaches.

of the most delightful fruits for eating during the summer.
