SPECIAL TREATMENT MAKES OUR
PEACH TREES "BETTER THAN EVER"
At No Extra Cost To You
For the first time in the history of the nursery indus-
try, Bountiful Ridge is pleased to offer "At No Extra
Cost,"' peach trees grown from budwood that has been
heat treated to insure its ‘Freedom From Virus Dis-
ease. Our trees are being grown many miles from any
known source of little peach, peach yellows, red suture,
or X-disease and, because of this isolation, are ‘‘essen-
tially virus free."
We believe that our “essentially virus free’ peach
trees will give you, Mr. Planter, the best sock that
money can buy. Combine this new practice with our
regular propagating procedures—selected budwood,
hardy and disease resistant rootstocks, specially treated
soils, continuous inspection, rigid storage control—and
you have the best peach trees for any use that it is
possible to produce. All of our peach trees, both dwarf
and standard size, have been so treated. It will not,
therefore, be necessary to note your wish for Virus
Free trees on your order.

The flesh is a clear yellow sparsely flecked with red

Sunshine is a TRUE FREESTONE, even when hard ripe,
making it far superior to Red Haven in this respect.
Fruit size is equal to, or larger than, that of Red Haven
on trees of comparable age.
Trees of Sunshine are vigorous, somewhat resistant to
disease, upright in growth, and begin bearing at an early
age with heavy crops. Buds and wood seem to be equally
as hardy as the parent. Hours of chilling needed to break
dormancy are about the same as Red Haven.
SUNSHINE originated in the orchard of John Errera,
Hammondton, N. J., as a budsport of a Red Haven tree.
The first fruit was so much earlier and of such outstanding
beauty that Mr. Errera was attracted to it. He brought it
to our attention, and after thorough testing, we have
found Sunshine worthy of introduction to the public. We
are sure that you will want to try some trees of this fine
new variety this year.

"WIN WITH REDWIN"
REDWIN ... A Winner again in 1962... Yes, friends, we had the privilege of seeing REDWIN fruiting from the peach
sections of South Georgia on through the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and northward during the 1962 season.
Without exception REDWIN bore surprisingly heavy crops of large, pretty, delicious fruits on trees in their third and fourth season
Favorable comment was received from most who had trees of this fine peach.
REDWIN proved again to be among the hardiest of our peach varieties. Also, it proved one of the cheapest to produce; only
60 days from full bloom to soft peaches. It was earlier than any of our other eastern varieties. Again there was enough color to
warrant earlier picking for distant markets.
REDWIN is most nearly like its parent, the ERLY-RED-FRE, being white fleshed, having outstanding red color, having a vigorous
tree, giving large crops and being semi-freestone. REDWIN ripens three weeks earlier than ERLY-RED-FRE coming in with or just
before Mayflower. It is of high quality and probably the best of all very early peach varieties now in production. We firmly believe
this new peach, REDWIN, should be tried in all areas where ERLY-RED-FRE has been grown successfully.
We have an extra fine lot of Redwin trees for this fall and next spring. All are dormant budded trees, having large, vigorous root
systems and straight stocky stems. Redwin should be included in every orchard; the amount should vary, however, according to the
general location and type of market available. Heavy crops of beautiful, well-sized fruit ripening only 60 days after full bloom will
surely be profitable in most sections.
PLANT REDWIN THIS YEAR AND BE A WINNER, TOO.

MARCUS (1) A new introduction from the North Carolina
Exp. Station which ripens about with May-
flower and Redwin. It is yellow fleshed, clingstone, with a yellow
skin blushed red on one side. Shipping quality seems fair and we
believe it should be tried throughout the Southern peach growing
areas. Marcus is a seedling of Erly-Red-Fre selfed and carries
the fine flavor of its parent.
REDWIN (la) See page 5 for full description and prices.
DAWNE (2) See page 5 for full description. Also see out-
side back cover for color illustration.
EARLIRED (2a) Earlired is the result of a cross of Red-
haven made at Beltsville, Md. It ripens
2 to 5 days earlier than Cardinal and completes harvest before
Sunhaven. The fruit is medium sized, has very light pubescence,
and is covered with a bright red lush over a good yellow ground
color when mature.
The flesh is yellow, firm, medium in texture, and of good
flavor. It is a cling when firm ripe and semi-free when full ripe.
The fruit develops a point in the southern areas, but is of fine
shape for the Carolinas and northward.
Trees are vigorous and dependable in productiveness, moderately
susceptible to bacterial spot. Fruits need early and heavy thinning
for best size.
HILAND (2b) A highly colored, yellow clingstone peach.
Ripens just before Cardinal or 5 days before
Dixired. Buds require about 750 hours chilling. Vigorous and pro-
ductive. Fruits medium size, ovate, light pubescence, attractively
colored, with light red blush at shipping time. Flesh yellow, fairly
firm, medium textured, and of good flavor. Recommended for areas
of low chilling requirement.
MAYGOLD (2c) A highly colored cling needing only 650
chilling hours. Fruit is medium size yel-
low fleshed, medium textured, with good flavor. A light red blush
covers about half the skin over an attractive yellow ground color.
Trees are vigorous and productive. Maygold ripens with Redcap
and Dixired and is recommended for trial in areas where Decem-
ber and January are warm months, where temperatures averaging
below 54 degrees may be expected.
Referring to your letter of Nov. 13th, 1961, inquiring about
the batch of fruit trees I purchased from you back in the early
spring. I saw those trees two weeks ago and every one of them
lived and got off to a good start during the past growing season.
I am well pleased with them.

REDCAP (2d) Dixired very much. A clingstone, medium
size, round, with light pubescence, attractive red blush covers
most of the peach, The flesh is yellow, firm but melting, medium
textured and good flavor. Trees are moderately vigorous and pro-
ductive. Buds only require 750 hours chilling to break rest period.
This variety should prove especially valuable where short rest
periods are a factor.
CARDINAL (2e) Ripens four days ahead of Dixired, more
than two weeks before Jubilee. Fruits
are clingstone, medium size, round, light pubescence. Well cov-
ered with attractive red blush over good yellow ground color.
Flesh is yellow, firm, medium textured and good flavor. About size
of Dixired. Chilling requirements about 900 hours. Should succeed
anywhere. Dixired can be grown and has advantage of being
earlier. We recommend this peach from what we have seen of it
in past several years.
DIXIRED (2f) Dixired is a clingstone, medium size, round
with light pubescence. About three-fourths of
the surface is covered with a bright attractive red blush. Flesh is
yellow, firm but melting, medium textured and of good flavor.
The outstanding characteristics of Dixired are its unusual firmness
and slow rate of softening for an early peach, plus an attractive
appearance. The fruit acquires color long before it is ready to
pick. Dixired is recommended as an early shipping peach.

ERLY-RED-FRE (3)
THE BEST EARLY WHITE PEACH
Unexcelled for Size and Quality
Growers everywhere still rave about Erly-Red-Fre more than 20
years after it was introduced. No other early peach known has
been as profitable and universally adaptable. There is still a place
in nearly all plantings for this fine peach.
The fruits are exceptionally large, averaging over 24%” in most
all cases without thinning. Color is never a problem; the fruits
turning red at least on one side well before harvest date. Quality
is exceptionally good. Erly-Red-Fre has long been known for its
shipping and keeping quality.
Trees are very vigorous, hardy in wood and bud, and produce
large annual crops. Erly-Red-Fre resists bacterial spot and bears
at young age. Harvest time is about 95 days after bloom; in time
to save expensive sprays and maintenance costs and therefore, in-
crease profit.

GOLDRAY (3)
A BUD SPORT OF GOLDEN JUBILEE RIPENING TWO
WEEKS EARLIER
Goldray has a beautiful bright red blush on a golden yellow
background. Goldray will cling to the pit when not fully ripe
and, like regular Jubilee, has a tender skin and flesh, being more
adapted to home use, road stands, and nearby markets. Trees
are vigorous making a heavy set of buds which have proven as
hardy or more hardy than regular Jubilee resulting in very regu-
lar crops. Because of its size, color, flavor, productivity, and
earliness, Goldray is an excellent kind to step up the Jubilee
season.

SUNHAVEN (2)
Result of cross made in South Haven, Michigan, by Stanley
Johnston in 1944. Matures ten days earlier than Red Haven.
Fruit is large in size, nearly round and uniform in shape. Color
much like Red Haven, largely bright red with stone ground color
for attractive contrast. Fruits keep and handle unusually well for
such an early maturing variety. Flesh clear yellow, fine textured,
firm, of good flavor and resistant to’ browning. A partial cling
until fully ripe. Trees are large, vigorous, and productive. Rec-
ommended for an early fresh market variety.

JERSEYLAND (N.J. 135) (4)
An early, large, firm, attractive yellow-fleshed freestone, ripening
a few days before Golden Jubilee. It hangs well to the tree and
is an excellent shipper. Tree is hardy, sets fruit buds freely and
comes into bearing early.
CORONET (4a) Ripens just before Redhaven. The fruit
is medium size, highly colored; yellow
fleshed tending to stick to pit when not fully ripe but a freestone
when ripe. Bright, attractive red blush over good yellow ground
color. Firm, smooth textured, very good but mild flavor. Coronet
trees are vigorous and productive. Blossoms are small-petaled,
self-fertile, chilling requirement about 800 hours,
DIXIGEM (4b) Ripens about with Redhaven. The fruit is
medium size, ovate with light pubescence
and a bright, attractive red blush covering about half the surface.
The ground color is a bright yellow. The flesh is yellow, medium
to firm, having a fine texture and excellent flavor. It is almost
a freestone when fully ripe and is usually semi-free at shipping
stage.

REDHAVEN (*)
Now A Tried and Proven Winner of Its Season.
Beautiful color, firmness, high quality, good consumer
demand and popularity.
_REDHAVEN
It colors a brilliant red and beautiful yellow. Skin is smooth,
almost fuzzless, resembling J. H. Hale in color, skin and flesh.
Flesh is very firm. Tree is vigorous with heavy bud set and bears
young. Fruits medium sized and well filled when ready to pick,
suture being rather prominent until peach approaches picking peri-
od. Growers may be inclined to pick too early because of good
color. When trees set too heavy, thinning should be practiced to
increase size of the fruits.
GOLDENRED (¢¢)
NEW INTRODUCTION OF RED HAVEN SEASON
Goldenred is a yellow freestone of high quality and attractive
red color. The peach is smooth, round, and firmer than Red
Haven, having less fuzz and less subject to point damage than
Elberta. Color is a good red with rich golden ground color.
The flesh is lemon-yellow, fine textured, with sweet aroma and
pleasing taste, red around the pit but not bitter. Fruit ripens
evenly; skin color developing early to allow picking while still
firm. We recommend this fine new peach for trial in all areas
where Red Haven can be grown successfully.

ture for best results.
For the past several years Triogem has fruited over a wide
area and has gained in popularity due to heavy yields and good
marketing traits. Hardiness of tree has been another factor for

Washington ripens about 8 days after Triogem and 3 days
before Sunhigh. It has good pollen and should be used where
pollination is needed. This variety should be adapted to the central
Virginia area and to the mountain sections of Maryland and
northward.

peach. Flesh inclines to adhere to the pit when hard ripe, but is
generally freestone. Tree is spreading in growth and dormant buds
are hardy. Variety seems to do best in hilly sections and requires
thorough summer spraying.

Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productiveness
RICHHAVEN ([&)
Outstanding New Variety
Recommended For Test In All Areas
Originated in South Haven, Michigan. Richhaven gives promise
of replacing the Hale Haven variety. Fruits are large, uniform in
size and shape. Color a bright red blush with stripes of red and
gold laid over a bright golden ground color. Fuzz is unnoticeable
and an unusually thick, tough skin adds to its handling and
shipping ability. Flesh is a clear yellow with moderate reddening
around the pit. Entirely a freestone when ripe. Ripens with Haie
Haven or fourteen days before Elberta.
HALE HAVEN (22)
One of Our Finest Peaches for “Quick Freezing.”
We endorse and Recommena This Great Peach To
Growers in All Sections Where Size, Color, Quality and
Shipping Ability are Paramount Considerations.
We know of no peach of recent introduction that is proving
more universally satisfactory than the Hale Haven, The tree is
a strong thrifty grower, resistant to common peach diseases, the
fruit is large, oval shaped like a well grown J. H. Hale, it has
a good tough skin, the flesh of the peach being of such texture
that it will not bruise easily and has a beautiful red color that
attracts the buyer and a flavor that is the best.
JULY HEATH (Othelle Cling) (8)
A large to very large white cling, ripening latter part of Hale
Haven season and before Elberta, coming to us from Kentucky. A
beautiful peach, strong growing tree and hardy in bud. Very
high in quality. We recommend this peach to anyone desiring a
white cling peach for all purposes. Sometimes called July or Sum-
mer Cling.
GOLDEN EAST (N.J. 87) (8) 4 Jat oval arm.
ored, yellow-fieshed peach ripening with Hiley or about 15 days
before Elberta. Usually a freestone. A promising variety for sites
south of Central New Jersey where favorable elevations, soil and
climate prevail. Tree is upright, spreading and vigorous. Medium
in hardiness.
ECLIPSE (9) A self-pollinated seedling from Georgia Belle.
A dark red, gellow-fleshed freestone peach of
firm texture and good flavor, ripens with Hiley. Tree is very
vigorous. The fruit is oval in shape, flesh fine grained and an
excellent shipper; hangs well to the tree and can be harvested
over a long period.
CHAMPION (9a) We restore this variety to our list
because of demand for a fine white
peach in this season. The fruit is large, quite regular, yellowish-
white mottled with red on sunny side; flesh white with red at pit.
Very hardy. Freestone.
SUNCREST (10) This peach originated at the USDA's
Fresno Filed Station, ripens about 10
days earlier than Elberta, is large, round, and freestone. It has
light pubescence and is covered over 38 with a bright red blush
over a yellow ground color. The flesh is yellow, firm enough for
distant shipment, and of good flavor.
The trees are vigorous and productive, somewhat susceptible
to bacterial spot in trouble areas. The blossoms are large petaled
and self-fertile. We believe that Suncrest is worthy of trial in
the eastern area.
SULLIVAN'S EARLY ELBERTA ('°)
Leads The Early Elberta Season
The tree and fruit characteristics were found to be identical
with Elberta.
It ripens ahead of the regular Early Elberta and Belle of
Georgia; it averages large in size, extra fine quality and shows
good shipping ability. We have long needed a good commercial
peach to fill this ripening time. Sullivan’s Early Elberta has real
possibilities and we recommend it highly.
POPPY (10b) Introduced by Missouri Exp. Station, its rip-
ening season is eight days before Elberta. The
fruits are large, shaped like Elberta, seems to size well with
heavy crop. Poppy has attractive red color, coloring well before
peach is ripe. Fruits are firm, yellow fleshed, freestone of fine
texture and flavor. A good shipping peach. Its season and general
characteristics are such that it should have a place in most
orchards,

low ground color. It is a freestone, having considerable red about
the pit and extending to the flesh in some cases, Flesh is very
firm and of excellent flavor. Trees are good growers, ranks with
Elberta in hardiness of bud and tree. The size, its bright at-
tractive red coloring and season of ripening makes the Blake a
desirable peach to precede the Elberta.

ta. The Genuine Gleason Strain,
A great commercial peach in the Central and Northern peach
producing areas where the markets are not too distant and quality
is a decided factor. One of the most beautiful of the Elberta type
peaches. A large, attractively colored, yellow fleshed, freestone
peach ripening with Belle of Georgia or from 3 to 8 days before
the regular Elberta. The highest quality peach of all the Elberta
types grown commercially. The trees are hardy, thrifty and bear
consistently. The deep lemon yellow colored skin blushed with
bright red makes it very attractive and the peach retains a beau-
tiful golden yellow color after being canned. IF YOUR MARKET

REDSKIN (!2)
Beautiful Red Peach of Elberta Season
A MARKET LEADER
Use This High Colored Peach to Replace Elberta This Year.
The Redskin peach is a product of the Maryland University
Experiment Station and is the result of a cross between Hale and
Elberta, It ripens slightly ahead or with Elberta. The tree is
vigorous, fast growing and productive. Wood is hardy and the
buds survive low winter temperatures along with the hardiest
varieties. The fruit of the Redskin is round, yellow flesh with
little or no color near the pit. It is a complete freestone, firm
flesh of excellent shipping quality well colored with a deep
red blush covering the fruit even when ripening under shady
conditions. In taste, it is aromatic, vinous and sweet. Due to
the firmness, it is rated high for canning. Fruit develops good
size even with heavy load on trees.
DIXIELAND (!2a)
This fine new peach comes from the USDA Field Lab. at Fort
Valley, Ga. It is a large, ovate, freestone and has little pubescence.
At maturity, about 50% of the surface is covered with an at-
tractive red over a golden yellow ground. The flesh is yellow,
firm, of good texture and flavor, It ripens about with Redskin and
Elberta.
Trees are vigorous, productive, and self-fertile. Dixieland is
somewhat resistant to bacterial spot and has a chilling require-
ment of 750 hours or about the same as Southland.
Dixieland was introduced primarily for the southern areas, but
we believe it worthy of trial 1n all peach areas.
ELBERTA ('2b)
The World’s Greatest Money-Making Peach
The tree is hardy, disease resistant, very thrifty and very
productive under most conditions. The fruit is large to very large,
a freestone, skin of deep golden yellow and highly colored. The
skin is tough and the flesh, while tender and juicy is of such
texture that the ELBERTA IS FAMOUS FOR ITS ABILITY TO
CARRY TO DISTANT MARKETS. The quality is good, and the
slight bitter flavor is preferred by many. As improved types and
varieties are introduced, ELBERTA STILL REMAINS THE
WORLD'S LEADING COMMERCIAL PEACH. We are propa-
gating our Elberta trees from selected orchards of great bearing
records and of the old original type Elberta.

The pit separates easily from the flesh. It is exceptionally valuable
as a commercial peach owing to its unusual keeping qualities.

South and Central areas. Its season is about five days after El-
berta, with a beautiful orange-yellow skin tinged with carmine.
Flesh is a deep yellow and much lighter flavored than Elberta.
This peach sizes up well under heavy crops and is equa] to
Elberta as a shipper. A perfect freestone and a real peach.

RINGS THE BELL — A WINNER
Beautiful color, large size, excellent quality, fine ship-
ping and keeping ability combine in GEMMERS LATE
ELBERTA to make it one of the most promising varie-
ties we have ever observed to follow the Elberta season.
It is a typical Elberta in fruit and tree characteristics. It
ripens 8 to 12 days after Elberta, just following Shippers Late
Red and before Lizzie. Fruits are very uniform large, well cov-
ered with a brilliant red tough skin. Flesh very firm, being
slightly tinged with red about the pit but red does not extend into
the golden yellow flesh. Originating at Sussex, N. J., well up in
the Mountains where many varieties of peaches fail to stand the
climatic conditions, recommends GEMMERS as a hardy variety
both in tree and bud.

Add 10¢ per tree to all prices listed on page 7. (Add 10¢ to Dawne, page 5; or Redwin, page 6, if these varieties
are desired) on whatever grade or quantity of trees you wish on Yunnan rootstock. This extra charge is made nec-
essary because of the difficulty of securing TRUE Yunnan seed and only represents the actual additional cost to
us in producing trees on Yunnan root stock.
WHEN YOU PLANT TREES ON YUNNAN ROOT STOCK WE RECOMMEND
Your fertilization and cultivation practices should be such that your peach trees will go dormant early. The
Yunnan root gives added vigor to the tree and naturally responds to fertilization and cultivation practices more
quickly than trees grown on Lovell or seedling root stock. Cultivation should be stopped early and we recommend a
split application of fertilizers; one being put on in fall after trees are defoliated and another in spring after danger
of frost injury to blossoms and fruit are past and if you do not have a set of fruit you do not need to apply a
spring application unless your soil is very thin and your trees show lack of vigor.

The season of ripening is with Rome Beauty
and Stayman, although it may be picked sooner for cooking pur-
poses if desired. The tree is a young and annual bearer, bloom-
ing a week after Rome Beauty to make it almost completely
frost proof.
The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaffold branches
well, and needs little pruning. Both tree and fruit are resistant
to apple scab.
We believe KING LUSCIOUS has a place in every planting;
not only because of its large size and attractive appearance, but
because it is the most frost resistant apple variety we know of.
Please refer to outside back cover for color illustrations of
both of these new and wonderful apples.

The Lodi, after being tested over quite a large territory, is
proving to be one of our most worthy early Apples. It has the
same quality and flavor as Yellow Transparent, but is much
larger and more firm. The tree is more spreading and vigorous,
bears early and more regular than Transparent. The fruit is a
better shipper and does not show bruising as badly. It ripens a
few days later than Transparent but due to size can be picked
with that variety if desired. Lodi should be interplanted for best
results as it needs cross pollination.

Type for Central Apple Areas. Popular for

Cortland is an improved McIntosh type. The fruits of the
two varieties are similar but those of Cortland are more oblate,
average larger, and are more uniform in size; they have more
color and the red is lighter and brighter and the striping and
splashes are laid on differently; the taste of Cortland can hardly
be distinguished from that of McIntosh; the flesh is firmer but
just as juicy; t»e apples do not drop so readily and ship better.

This is a special bud selected strain of the famous Jonathan
Apple. We have tested it in every section of the country, in trial
plots and commercial orchards for more than twenty years and
have found it superior in most all cases. Highly colored Jonathan
apples bring the fancy prices. Use this fine, proven red strain
of Jonathan for replanting and new planting work. We are sure
they will satisfy your needs.
JONATHAN (!0)
The Jonathan is justly one of our greatest commercial apples.
It is hard to equal for hardiness and productiveness. The apples
are smooth and attractive colored, being medium iin size. The
flesh is firm, crisp, tender, juicy, good quality. An _ excellent
cooking or eating apple. Used extensively as a filler and _ pol-
lenizing or eating apple. It is especially adapted to the Central
and Northern fruit districts. No commercial orchard of the North
is complete without the Jonathan for a late fall apple.

is best from late October to early January. Blooms about with
Delicious, Jonathan, Rome; ripening a week earlier than Delicious
and a little later than Jonathan. It is a heavy annual bearer
where properly pollinated.
IDARED ('0)
A CROSS BETWEEN WAGNER AND JONATHAN. Its season

JONADEL (1 0f) This fine new variety is the result of
a cross of Jonathan and Delicious made
at Ames, Iowa. The fruit is larger than Jonathan, milder than
Jonathan but more acid than Delicious. Color is equal to Jona-
than. Dessert qualities are excellent. Jonadel ripens with Jona-
than, keeps well in storage until March or April with no evidence
of Jonathan spot or internal browning. Fruit tends to drop un-

POPULAR APPLE
The RICHARED DELICIOUS is a blood red mutation of the
famous Delicious Apple. Facts about the RICHARED: You have
a tree of the same hardy characteristics as the old Delicious,
producing an apple with the same appetizing, delicious flavor,
producing an avple that colors a full bright red, without a
trace of stripe, on every part of the tree, the apple attaining this
color weeks before we usually pick the regular Delicious, thus
enabling everyone who grows it to eliminate the loss from drop
apples, to pick earlier, to market earlier.
DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS ('2<)
A bud selected sport of the famous Delicious apple highly rec-
ommended for early color on low elevations.
The description of DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS follows that
of Delicious except its ability to lay on early color at low elevation
Which the regular Delicious will not do.
The apple gets very dark in color at elevation of 100 feet or
more and we recommend our RICHARED DELICIOUS for plant-
ing above that elevation.
Our Double Red Delicious is favorably compared with what
is being sold as Starking.

RUBY ('¢<)
A PROMISING LATE KEEPING APPLE
A recent introduction of the Ohio Experimental Station result-
ing from a cross between Gallia Beauty and Starking. Ruby, as
its name implies, has great eye appeal because of its striking
brilliant over-all carmine red resembling somewhat a well colored
Gallia Beauty. The tree resembles Rome in growth, bears early
and tends to produce annually, blooms about with Rome or
Gallia and just after Delicious. Picking date is about with Rome
or may be picked just before Stayman. As a dessert apple the
flavor is good, surpassing that of Rome Beauty. It is somewhat
juicy, neither sharp nor sweet but pleasingly mild; cooking does
not detract from the flavor but seems to improve it; whether baked
or stewed the flesh has tendency to hold its shape well. Fruits
hold well in storage into April and May, being less susceptible to
scald than Rome Beauty. Can be recommended for planting any-
where Rome and Delicious succeed.

for cooking.
MONROE (17b) A resulting cross between Jonathan and
Rome Beauty was introduced by New

Beauty in appearances and growth while the fruits resemble the
Jonathan and both appear to have no major faults, tree being
vigorous, upright-spreading and annual bearer. Fruits large,
roundish-conic, resembling a well colored Baldwin with brighter
color as Jonathan. Apple flesh is light yellow, crisp, juicy, mildly
sub-acid, quality good for dessert or processing. A winter apple
ripening after Baldwin and before Rome. It can be recommended
for planting throughout the Central and North Eastern fruit areas.
GALLIA BEAUTY (Red Rome) ('8)
It leads other Red Rome Beauty type apples. It can
rightfully be called “One of America’s Most Beautiful
Apples.” Demand the Gallia Beauty when planting the
Red Rome type apple.
The Gallia Beauty originated
in Ohio and is a typical Rome
type tree, being thrifty, hardy and productive. The fruit of the
Gallia Beauty colors a brilliant bright red, without stripe and
seems to be of higher quality than the regular Rome Beauty
and keeps exceptionally well in storage. The Gallia Beauty will
size up equal to the regular Rome but many of the other inferior
so-called Red Rome types will not size up satisfactorily and again
we urge you to plant only the Genuine Gallia Beauty. We offer
you the best and charge you no more.

A Glorified Selection of the Famous Winesap with the same

For years fruit growers from many sections have clamored for
a LARGE WINESAP APPLE. Many types have come to our ob-
servation and when traced down were found wanting until Mr.
Harry W. Miller, Paw Paw, W. Va., told us of this type they
have producing in their well known Martins Mountain orchard
and which when investigated proved to be more than he claimed.
The original tree stands in a block of the Regular Stayman and
has not failed to produce a heavy crop now for over 25 consecu-
tive years, the fruits being as large or larger some years than
the regular Stayman on adjoining trees.
The fruit has every characteristic of the Old Winesape in shape,
color, quality and growth habits and at harvest time. Mr. Miller
has been able to pack most of the apples in the 2%4” up size, the
balance going into the 24%’’ grade. The tree is a typical Wine-
sap tree in growth, having the exact leaf marking of the old
Winesap.

season, vigorous grower and one of our more desirable nectarines.
Ripens 12 days before Elberta.
The origin of this nectarine is
RUBIRED Nectarine unknown to us. The fruit is of
large size, smooth skin, fine red color, and excellent quality, with
winey flavor which is particularly pleasing.

REDCHIEF A recent introduction by the Virginia Experi-
ment Station which from observation and re-
ports gives promise of being one of the best of our white fleshed
Nectarines. Fruits are good size, highly colored and freestone,
with very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty and productive with
fruits showing marked resistance to brown-rot. Redchief should be
considered in every planting of Nectarines. Ripens 13 days before
Elberta.
CAVALIER A recent introduction by Virginia Experiment
Station which gives promise of replacing some
of our yellow fleshed Nectarines. Cavalier is more highly colored
than Redchief, not quite as large, but good size, fine yellow flesh
of very good quality and seems to have marked resistance to
brown-rot. The tree is vigorous and productive. Ripens 8 days
before Elberta.
REDBU Formerly tested as V.P.I. 47n, Redbud is white
fleshed, average size, freestone, and ripens about
27 days before Elberta. The skin is a good bright red with smooth
finish and highly attractive. The flesh is above average in firm-
ness, medium in texture, with good quality. The trees are of
average vigor and produce heavy sets of buds. They are highly
resistant to brown rot when the standard peach spray schedule
is followed. The buds are more tolerant to late frost than Redchief
but slightly less than those of Cavalier.
LEXINGTON Is a yellow fleshed nectarine, formerly test-
ed as V.P.I. 34n. It ripens about 17 days
before Elberta with average sized fruits about 2” in diameter
and distinctly ovate in shape. The skin is deep yellow overlaid
with red giving an attractive appearance. The flesh is of medium
texture, free from the pit, and its flavor is comparable to Cava-
lier. Like Redchief, Cavalier, and Redbud, Lexington is also
highly resistant to brown rot when the regular peach spray
schedule is used. The trees are highly vigorous and set a large
amount of fruit buds which are relatively hardy from late frosts.

The DEVOE pear was found some 25 years ago by Charles Greiner of Marlboro,
N. Y., as a chance seedling on his farm. The variety bears early and heavy with long
Bosc-shaped fruits with smooth skin. The green color becomes a beautiful yellow with
an outstanding red cheek as harvest time approaches. The flesh is firm, white, and
lacks grit cells. Quality is superb. It is very juicy and sweet. Fruits of Devoe will
keep well in cold storage until late January when picked at the right stage of maturity.
It ripens and should be picked about a week after Bartlett.
The tree is upright in habit, wood is whippy and bears fruit load without break-
age. It is very resistant to pear Psylla.
_DEVOE, for years, has been advertised as being BLIGHT RESISTANT and we
believe that it is. Blight Resistance in no way implies that the variety will be com-
pletely free of the fire blight disease, regardless of the cultural practices used. By its
very nature, Devoe is a fine vigorous grower and does not need heavy fertilization,
constant cultivation or extensive pruning for good results. Most successful pear opera-
tions involve little pruning, low nitrogen levels, sod culture or very little cultivation.
DEVOE, when treated in a like manner, will, in most cases, prove very satisfactory.

As Devoe begins to bear in widely distributed areas it shows its real value and promises to become a leader of com-

hardy and highly productive. The tree under his conditions has
shown no injury at temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees below zero,
nor have late spring frosts during bloom period affected the crop
materially. The fruit is medium in size, and does not crack or

Seems to grow vigorously in its early years but soon settles down to slower growth and heavy cropping. Generally
recognized to be one of the best understocks for commercial planting as well as the home fruit grower.

A good medium-vigorous stock with a good root system. Though this stock makes a larger tree than E. M. Ix
or VII, it does have the early bearing characteristic of them. Trees behave well on most soils and are not being
uscd quite extensively in commercial planting. The stock has been found resistant to crown rot.

Chinese CHESTNUTS
Plant Them For Production of Luscious Nuts, Ornamental Shade or Commercial Orchard
Early Bearing, Fast Growing, Blight Resistant Trees
We highly recommend planting Chinese Chestnuts on hill sides, in pastures, on roadsides, in barnyards, in lawns,
and in areas where general farming operations fail because of topographical conditions for beauty, shade and de-
licious nuts. Blight resistant Chinese Chestnut trees will thrive on most any site which will support other tree vege-
tation.
Chinese Chestnuts are early to bear and give quick profits. Many growers are now receiving fifty to ninety cents
per pound for their nuts. Others with only a few trees are supplying their own needs with ease. You, too, can enjoy
them with a minimum of expense and care. Write for our Up-to-date cultural directions on BLIGHT RESISTANT
CHINESE CHESTNUTS.
We are offering the finest types of hardy, blight resistant and high quality chestnuts our Government represent-
atives could find in the great chestnut producing areas of China.
SELECTED STRAINS YOU CAN TRUST
ALL TYPES HAVE BEEN FULLY
TESTED
Because of the uncertainty of grafted trees, we are relying on
seedling selections of Nanking, Meiling, Kuling, and other seed-
lings. Our whole production of Chinese Chestnuts is now from
such selections. We believe they are the best and know they will
satisfy the most exacting customer.

for 10 days. The fruit is above average dessert quality, being surpassed only
by Stanley, according to most authorities. The bush is erect, vigorous and
seems very healthy. The berries are a good blue color medium to large and
hold up in size to the end of the season. Recommended for trial in all sections.
COVILLE One of the more recent introductions of the U.S.D.A., select-
ed to give larger berries of good quality and color. Ripening
after Dixi, Rubel and Jersey, Coville is rated as one of our latest berries,
large, good blue color, good quality, hangs well to cluster even when ripe
thereby requiring less picking and having thrifty plants.
BLUEBERRY CLUSTER
The large cultivated Blueberry seemingly has un-
limited possibilities as a fresh or a canned berry.
They have a place in every farm and home garden
lot. We list the best of the present day varieties.
Blueberries require an acid soil containing an abun-
dance of peat or other partially rotted vegetable mat-
ter. They need a moderate supply of soil-moisture,
and good drainage.
Where natural Blueberry soil is not available ideal
conditions can be created by mixing with the sur-
face soil a liberal quantity of peat moss or partially
rotted leaves or sawdust or chip dirt from an old
woodpile.

THE CUMBERLAND CONTINUES TO BE THE UNIVERSAL
BLACK RASPBERRY. with the growers is un-
changed.
Cumberland has come down through the years and on its record
stands as America’s leading black raspberry. It is the choice of
the commercial growers in the central and northern regions.
One of the largest of the Black Caps; plants are healthy, vigorous
growers, throwing up stout, well branched canes that produce
immense crops of magnificent berries. The fruit is large and
holds up well during the picking season; very firm and rated as
one of the most delicious of black caps.
NEW MORRISON
(BLACK RASPBERRY)
Large size, very disease resistant, firm,
consistent bearer.
Its Popularity
Originated in Northern Ohio, pronounced the most promising late
Black Raspberry being tested at the N. Y. Station. Berries are
extremely large, many measuring over % inch in diameter and
they do not crumble and have topped the market by $1.00 to $2.00
per crate during the past several seasons. A little later than Cum-
berland, has fine dark glossy color and berries hold up well after
picking, having exceptional good quality. A worthy new variety
from all tests and observations.
BRISTOL
An Outstanding NEW BLACK CAP
Growers pronounce this one of the best to precede the Cumberland.
Bristol is a recent introduction and the Geneva Experimental
Station states it is one of the best Black Raspberries being grown
at Geneva, N. Y. It ripens a week earlier than Naples or just
before Cumberland a few days. The berries are large and firm,
fairly glossy and very attractive. The quality is one of the best.
The bushes are very hardy and a vigorous grower. The Bristol
rates as one of the heaviest bearing Black Caps now known.
From observation and reports coming to us on the behavior of
the Bristol, we can recommend it highly to planters for either
commercial markets or home use.

BLACK HAWK (Black)
Hardy NEW Introduction Worthy of Trial
Vigorous — Productive
Black Hawk originated in Ames, Iowa, It is a very large, nearly
round, non-crumbling, firm berry. Black Hawk stands up well
under commercial handling and the quality is excellent whether
used fresh, frozen, or in jams, pies, or sauces. Flavor is sweet
to mildly acid. Its picking season lasts from 10 to 14 days. The
bush is vigorous, very hardy, and highly productive.
NEW LOGAN (Black)
One of the New Logan’s outstanding characteristics is its
resistance to mosaic and other raspberry diseases. It seems to
outclass other black raspberry varieties in this respect, and this
is one of the primary reasons why it is gaining popularity. The
berry ripens one week earlier than Cumberland. It is a heavier
yielder and the glossy black berries are as large as that variety.
It holds up well through drought, the last picking as fresh and
free from seediness as the first.
A thrifty grower, and, although not

The popular mosiae free, hardy red raspberry, Without ques-
tion Latham is the most profitable Red Raspberry for commercial
planting. It is absolutely hardy. It cannot be surpassed in pro-
ductiveness, out-yielding even Cuthbert. Due to its rich brilliant
red color it sells readily on market stands, and in addition is a
delightful table berry and almost perfect for canning. The berries
are large, round and unusually firm, exceptionally well suited for
shipping to distant markets. It ripens evenly over a long season.

Carolinas to New York and as far west as Ohio and Arkansas. Its extra high vigor gives
Pocahontas good picking beds even under adverse conditions.
Yields of Pocahontas often are more than 10,000 quarts of large, beautiful high quality i

DIXIELAND
Early . . . Vigorous Grower . . . Good Yielder
Promising Replacement For Blakemore
Dixieland was picked as many as 7 to 10 times during a wet
eastern berry season. Yields were good and prices were high.
Dixieland is making a steady climb to stardom since its intro-
duction just a few years ago. Originally thought to be best adapted
to southern areas, it is doing quite well in many northern produc-
ing sections. Dixieland ripens with Blakemore, is slightly firmer
than Blakemore and has large berries. The berries are a bright
glossy red only slightly darker than Blakemore and uniform in
shape. Flavor is tart and good. Yields in test plots have run over
9000 quarts per acre of good, large, firm berries.
Since Blakemore is fading in many producing areas, we suggest
Dixieland as an early, high quality replacement. Its large yields,
good color, firmness, and high quality are sure to make a hit.
Plant Virus Free Dixieland from Bountiful Ridge this year.
A genetic variegation (Spring yellows, June yellows) has developed in the variety Dixieland. This is not a virus. Plants are weak-
ened and yields are reduced. There are no known sources of Dixieland free of spring yellows. Attempts are being made to locate
non-yellowing stock. Thus, we can make no guarantee as to performance of Dixieland.
SURECROP
MULTIPLE RESISTANCE TO RED STELE — FINE FLAVOR
VERY HEAVY PLANT PRODUCER
Excellent Size . . . Good Yields . . . High Prices
SURECROP seems to be a really fine new strawberry variety. It was tested as U. S.
No. 2233 for more than five years and was extremely promising wherever grown from Pennsy]-
vania and New York to southern Virginia and westward to Ohio.
SURECROP is a midseason berry ripening about with Fairland and Temple. The berries
are a light, bright red which turns to a deep rich color. The seeds are a nice bright yellow
set even with the surface. SURECROP berries are firm with a tough glossy skin which makes
them ideal for distant markets. They have also been recommended for freezing. Size holds
well throughout the season with the average being larger than Stelemaster.
SURECROP are very vigorous plant makers and producers, rivalling such varieties as
Pocahontas and Robinson as the best bed makers of all strawberry varieties. Coupled with Beautiful large berries make Sure-

EARLIEST OF ALL STRAWBERRY VARIETIES
EARLIDAWN
EARLINESS — FREEZING QUALITY — HIGH YIELDS
Ripening five days before Blakemore and Premier, EARLIDAWN is the earliest of all
the good, commercial strawberry varieties. It tis a cross of Midland by Tennessee Shipper
which was selected in 1947 and has done exceptionally well ever since. Year after year it has
come through with early, large, crops of nice market berries.
The berries are quite firm with a tough skin. Color is a vivid red only slightly darker
than Blakemore which does not become too much darker upon holding. Crops of EARLI-
DAWN have been outstanding in all test areas with as much as 58% of the crop being
harvested in the first week on this fine new variety.
EARLIDAWN makes extra large crowned plants but not too many runner plants yet

JERSEY BELLE
Virus Free Vigor And Rich Market Quality
Gave Fine Crop And High Prices In 1962
Jerseybelle has brought the highest prices paid for strawberries
anywhere since its introduction a few years ago by the New
Jersey Experiment Station. Tested as 7-A, Jerseybelle has risen
to prominence as a highly profitable late-mid-season berry for the
srowers of New Jersey and Long Island. The berries are bright
orange red, glossy and firm, turning slightly darker upon holding.
Jerseybelle has been found best for moderately close and _ local]
markets.
Plants make good growth on rich, moist soils giving good pick-
ing beds of large, stocky crowns. However, they are not nearly
as vigorous as Sparkle, Catskill or Pocahontas. We recommend
Jerseybelle for trial iin most Eastern areas. It has not been
found to be very adaptable to Midwestern growing conditions
where observed in test plots.

Beauty ... Size . . . Productivity .. . The Flavor King
Midland from Virus Free Stocks is now surging back as one of the leaders of early
strawberry varieties. Always a favorite as an early berry with outstanding size, beauty,
productivity, quality, firmness and freezing ability, Midland can now be profitably grown due
to the increased vigor of Virus Free Stocks. Midland will now make good beds of large vigor-
ous plants.
Berries are early, ripening with Premier and Blakemore, and as productive as either,
averaging somewhat larger in size. The flavor compares favorably with Fairfax, known
generally as our highest quality berry. Freezing tests show Midland to be one of the best
either for commercial or home use. We suggest you try this fine variety this year and see
if you don’t agree that it is most outstanding.

firm, juicy, and flavor is mild subacid. Stelemaster plants are
vigorous, very productive and highly resistant to red stele known

attractive and darkens little on holding.

Large Size — Bright Color
A LEADING MARKET BERRY
Robinson, often called Scarlet Beauty, has those very large
attractive berries which catch the customer’s eye every time.
They are a beautiful bright red color with glossy finish, holding
well with little loss of color. Yields are comparable to other lead-
ing varieties.
Plants of the Robinson variety are very vigorous; almost always
making good picking beds under extreme circumstances. Robinson
actually does better in dry seasons than in wet ones because of
the tendency to over produce plants. The berries also hold up
better under dry conditions.
(NJ 157)
This fine new berry is the result of a cross of Utah Shipper &
Jerseybelle which ripens later or about with Jerseybelle. It has
a long harvest period that extends well into the Redstar season.
The fruits are large and pretty. Vesper is the most productive
of the selections tested at New Brunswick. It is a good plant
maker but is not resistant to Red Stele or Verticillium wilt.
From test results, it appears that Vesper will do well and should
be tried in areas where Jerseybelle is successful.

(NON-VIRUS FREE)
A True Everbearer And Remains One Of The Finest
Of Our Everbearing Varieties
It outyields some of our best June bearing sorts during their
season and continues to bear throughout summer and fall. Berries
of amazing size and superior quality, being very firm and at-
tractive. For best results newly set plants should be disbudded
up to July ist. They will then bear ‘til frost. They are grown
very successfully by hill culture methods as well as matted bed
row system. Where hill culture is practiced, set the plants 15
inches apart in the row and have rows from 2 to 2% feet apart.
This produces strong, robust hills that produce very heavily.

Strawberry Culture
1. Location, Soil and Preparation. Adequate soil moisture is
essential to growing good strawberries; whether the type soil
selected holds moisture well. Also take care that the contour of the
land is such that frost pockets will not form late in the spring to
freeze out the blossoms. Sites which are not affected by late frosts
are considered the best for strawberry culture. Plow and prepare
the soil the same as for truck crops. Never plant in newly plowed
sod land, however, as white grub worms are always present in
this type of soil and will do a lot of damage to the plants after
being set. The soil should be high in humus for best results. Rye
and crimson clover make splendid crops to turn under as a natural
humus soil builder. However, in using these, the land should be
plowed far enough ahead so that cover crops have time enough to
decay before the plants are set.
2. Time To Plant. In the Southern States from November to
April is considered the best time for planting. March and April in
the Central States, and ior the Northern States, April and May
the best time. We cannot too strongly urge early planting. Set the
plants just as soon as the ground is workable in the spring. Should
a cold siap follow it will not damage the plants if they are
properly set, and by setting early the plants will grow better and
be more productive in every way.
3. Distance To Plant. We recommend that Strawberry plants
be planted in rows 3% - 4 feet apart. spacing the plants 15 - 30
inches apart in the row, depending on the variety. Everbearing
varieties should be planted 12-16 inches apart. For planting in
rows 3% feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows, it requires
8,000 plants per acres and in rows 4 feet apart and 18 inches
apart in the row it requires 7,250 plants per acre.
4. Care of Plants on Arrival. Set plants immediately on
arrival, if possible. However, if it is not convenient to do so, the
plants should be removed from the package and dipped in water
to allow roots to plump up before setting. If the plants become
dried out in transit they should be placed in water up to the
crowns for at least 3 hours. When this is done the plants should
be set as soon as possible after being taken from the water, but
in no case should the tops of the plant be wet when being set if
the sun is shining, because very often the tops will scald and

THE WILD ROSE LIVING FENCE
(ROSA MULTIFLORA JAPONICA)
Needs Little Pruning — Disease Free — A Living Fence For Years To Come.
Multiflora Roses are being used effectively to decrease
soil erosion, dividing line fences, wind breaks, screens for
unsightly objects, to confine farm animals and as snow
fences in winter.
The plants grow rapidly in most all types of soil and
produce a fence up to eight feet in height in three to
four years, then it stops, getting no taller. The fence needs
no pruning or care after the initial setting.
Where a close hedge or screen is desired, we suggest
planting one foot apart. For more open hedge they may
be planted two or three feet apart in a single row.

The fence is a beautiful sight in bloom putting on a
gorgeous display for about two weeks. Thereafter seed pods
are formed to furnish food for the birds.
