SPECIAL TREATMENT MAKES OUR
PEACH TREES ‘‘BETTER THAN EVER’
At No Extra Cost To You

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 Disease.”
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 essentially
virus free.

We beheve that our “essentially virus free” peach
trees will give you, Mr. Planter, the best stock 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.

REDWIN (1) Plant Patent No. 1661. Redwin is mak-

ing a place for itself in many orchards over the country.
Redwin is an excellent variety for local markets and
roadstand use. Growers everywhere are finding that
Redwin is their best bet to start the very early peach
season.

Fruits of Redwin are of good size, high color, and fine
quality. They require heavy thinning and early spray-
ing for best results. Redwin is a white-fleshed semicling
that colors with a fine red blush well before picking
time. Flavor is excellent for such an early peach and
is much like its parent, Erly-Red-Fre. Redwin should
be picked when firm ripe in order to hold or carry
well. Close attention should be paid to this variety as
ripening time approaches in order to avoid over-ripe
fruit. Just think, Redwin needs only 60 short days from
bloom to picking.

Trees of Redwin are vigorous and thrifty growers.
They are hardy in wood and bud, early bearers, and
heavy producers. Since the fruits ripen so early, only
maintenance spraying is needed the rest of the season.
Redwin needs good, sensible orchard management to
be profitable—nothing more.

DAWNE Peach

Uf
DAWNE (2) Plant Patent No. 1955. Earliest Yellow

Freestone.

COLOR—Dawne has that beautiful red blush that al-
most completely covers a golden yellow ground color.
This fine color comes about 10 days before the fruits are
ripe, allowing picking in time for distant markets.

S1IZE—Dawne sizes up well on older trees. The tree loads
up to such an extent that thinning is a necessity almost
every year. The fruits of well grown Dawne will pack
214 inches up in any normal year.

ORIGIN—Dawne originated in Carbon County, Pa., as
a chance seedling at the home of Mr. J. R. Stettler. It
was so early and of such good size and flavor that Mr.
Stettler was attracted to it.

FLAVOR—The flavor of Dawne is the most outstanding
and pleasing of any early peach that we have ever
tasted. It is sweet, sub-acid, melting and juicy. Dawne
is equally good when eaten from the tree, sliced with
sugar, canned, frozen, or used in ice cream.

VIGOR—The trees of Dawne are vigorous, upright to
spreading in growth. The buds and wood are hardy to
severe winter temperature and spring frosts.

BEARING AGE—Dawne bears early, having fruits the
second year after planting. Good crops have nearly
always been recorded in the third year. The blossoms
are showy, self-fertile, and hardy.

TIME OF RIPENING—Dawne ripens about 10 days after
Redwin and 8 to 10 days before Erly-Red-Fre. This is
well in advance of its nearest competitor and at a time
when extra high color and quality will bring the most
money.

CANDOR (2a) A new yellow-fleshed, semi-free-stone

peach that ripens just before Earlired. The fruits are
round and about % covered with a bright red blush
when mature, The flesh is fine texture of good quality
and very resistant to browning. Trees are productive,
moderately vigorous and somewhat resistant to bacterial
spot. Fruits are of good size and buds seem rather
tolerant of spring frost.

A
- EARLIRED (2b) A cross of Redhaven made at Belts-

ville, Md. that ripens 2 to 5 days earlier than Cardinal
and completes harvest before Sunhaven. Fruits are
medium sized, with very light pubescence, and colored
with a bright red blush over a golden yellow ground
color when mature. The flesh is yellow, firm and of
good flavor; A cling when firm ripe. Trees are vigorous,
and dependable bearers, and moderately susceptible to
bacterial spot. Earlired should be thinned early and
hard for best size.

REDCAP (2c) Ripens just before Dixired and resem-
bles 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,
and of good flavor. Trees are moderately vigorous and
productive. Buds require 750 hours chilling.

CARDINAL (2d) Ripens four days ahead of Dixired.
Fruits are clingstone, medium size, round, light pu-
bescence. Well covered with attractive red blush over
yellow ground. Flesh is yellow, firm and of good flavor.
Chilling requirements about 900 hours.

i=
“ DIXIRED (2e) A round, medium-sized clingstone, with

light pubescence. A beautiful red blush covering three-
fourths of the surface gives Dixired a pleasing appear-
ance. Flesh is yellow, firm but melting, and of good
flavor. Dixired has unusual firmness and a slow rate of
softening for an early peach. It is an excellent variety
from the Carolinas northward into Canada because of
its fine appearance and shipping ability.

George Kemp examines and admires this year’s Peach tree
crop.

ERLY-RED-FRE (3) For unexcelled size and quality,
it is the best early white peach known. Growers every-
where still rave about Erly-Red-Fre. No other early
peach has been as profitable and universally adaptable.
There is still a place in nearly all plantings for this fine
peach.

Fruits are large, averaging over 2% inches in most
cases without thinning. Color is never a problem; the
fruits turn 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 qualities.

Trees are very vigorous, hardy in wood and bud, and
produce large annual crops. Erly-Red-Fre resists bac-
terial spot and bears at a young age. Harvest time is
about 95 days after bloom, in time to save expensive
sprays and maintenance costs. Increase your profits by

feo Erly-Red-Fre to your plantings now.

/ COLLINS

GOLDRAY (3a) A good budsport of Golden Jubilee
that ripens two weeks earlier, yet retains most of the
good traits of its parent. Goldray colors with a nice red
blush on a golden yellow background. It will cling to
the pit when not fully ripe and has a somewhat tender
skin and flesh. It is best adapted to home use, road-
stands, and local markets. Trees are vigorous, set heavy
crops regularly, and are very hardy. Goldray is quite

ee. in the central states and Canada.
S

UNHAVEN (3b) True Sunhaven or Early Sunhaven
mature about 10 days earlier than Redhaven. Fruit is
large sized, nearly round and uniform in shape. Color is
much like Redhaven, largely a pretty bright red. Flesh
is clear yellow, fine textured, firm, of good flavor, and
resistant tc browning. It is a partial cling until full ripe.
Fruits keep well and handle easily for such an early
peach. Trees are large, vigorous, and productive. Sun-
haven is an excellent early fresh market variety for the
central and northern peach areas. Do not confuse this
Sunhaven with Late Sunhaven, which ripens with Redhaven
or later.

(3c) A firm attractive high quality yellow
flesh peach of medium size ripening a few days before
Sunrise. A semi-cling when picked at maximum shipping
condition. It is a freestone when fully matured. It has
developed practically no fruit with split pits. Chemical
thinning is recommended to insure good size.

Our Trees Are Triple Inspected For Your Protection

SUNSHINE

NSHINE (3d) Plant Patent No. 2360. SUNSHINE
is a briliant new budsport of Redhaven. It ripens five
or more days earlier than Redhaven and exhibits the
same fine color characteristics of its parent.

The flesh is a clear yellow sparsely flecked with red
streaks, is melting, of good flavor and resists browning.
Sunshine is a TRUE FREESTONE, even when hard
ripe, making it far superior to Redhaven in this respect.
Fruit size is equal to, or larger than, that of Redhaven
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 Redhaven.

SUNSHINE originated in the orchard of John Errera,
Hammondton, N. J., as a budsport of a Redhaven tree.
The first fruit was so much earlier and of such out-
standing 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.

One of our Peach seedling blocks showing the propagators at nr. Over one million plants in this field.

SOMERSET (3e) A fine new yellow fleshed freestone
peach that originated here at Bountiful Ridge as a
chance seedling. Fruits of Somerset are large, round,
and very attractive. Several days before maturity, the
fruits become covered with a beautiful red blush that
is spread over a golden yellow ground color. The skin
is tough and rather thick which makes Somerset a
valuable variety for commercial use.

Fruits ripen at Princess Anne with, or just after, Sun-
haven but before Red Haven. Size and appearance ex-
cellent for such an early peach. Fruits average much
larger than Red Haven or Sunhaven and crops are borne
just as consistently. The flesh is coarse in texture, but
melting and of fine flavor.

Trees of Somerset are vigorous and sturdy growers
that produce annually heavy crops. Buds are winter
hardy and frost tolerant. We recommend trial of this
new variety in all areas where a need for a large, at-
tractive early yellow freestone peach is present.

SOMERSET

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 at an early age. Jersey-
land is quite popular from the Carolinas to eastern
New York.

CORONET (4a) A good sized, highly colored, yellow
peach ripening a few days before Redhaven. The flesh
is firm, tends to stick to the pit until fully ripe, and has
a very good flavor. A bright red blush over a good
yellow ground color makes Coronet very attractive.
Trees are vigorous and productive. Blossoms are small
petaled, self-fertile, and require 800 hours to break
dormancy. A very fine variety for near and distant
markets.

SUNHAVEN

REDHAVEN (4b) Hardly enough can be said about
this fine peach, the standard of all early peaches. It
colors a beautiful red and golden yellow. The skin is
smooth, almost fuzzless, resembling J. H. Hale. Flesh is
very firm, smooth textured, and of good flavor. Fruits
are medium sized, round, uniform, and of excellent ap-
pearance. Redhaven is one of our most versatile
varieties. It is good for freezing, canning, local and
distant markets. Proper thinning will allow the vigorous
and very productive trees to be some of your most
profitable ones. Wood and buds of Redhaven are
hardy_and disease resistant.

“GOLDENRED (4c) A yellow freestone of high quality
and good color, ripening with Redhaven. It is smooth,
round, and firmer than Redhaven. Flesh is lemon-yellow,
fine textured, of pleasing taste, with some red about the
pit. Fruit ripens evenly, with skin color developing early
to permit picking while still firm. This fine new peach
was introduced to replace Redhaven in trouble areas.

COMANCHE (4d) A Redhaven type peach that
ripens about with Redhaven. Size is exceptionally good,
with little thinning required. Fruits are attractive, with
firm yellow flesh, and semi-free with no split pits.

fruits than Redhaven.

CUMBERLAND (5) The tree is a vigorous grower.
The fruit is attractively colored with red, oval in shape.
Flesh is white, almost free. Ripens just before Jubilee.

tions.

‘ FAIRHAVEN

An old stand-by variety
that is still popular for home and near-by markets.
Fruits are medium to large, attractive, freestone, and
of good flavor. Jubilee will be more attractive and
firmer if balanced fertilizers are used. The tree and
buds are unusually hardy, resisting low temperatures
better than Elberta. Blossoms are self-fertile and are
borne in abundance.

(5b) A Redhaven type peach ripening
about with Golden Jubilee. It has the same tendency to
overcrop as Redhaven, but when thinned well it brings
medium to large, round, attractive fruit. Fruits are firm,
smooth skinned, and good shippers. Fairhaven is a good
bet in its season.

RANGER (5c) A fine-looking yellow freestone peach
ripening with Golden Jubilee. Medium to large size, al-
most round, with light pubescence, highly colored with
bright red blush. Flesh yellow, medium firm, medium
textured, good flavor and suitable for canning or freez-
ing. Tree is vigorous and productive, showing marked
resistance to bacterial leaf spot. Blossoms medium sized,
self-fertile, usually open after Elberta.

RICHHAVEN

over, firm, yellow freestone peach ripening about two
days after Golden Jubilee. The trees are medium in
size, hardy and heavy bearers. Trees require good soil
and good culture for best results. Triogem has fruited
over a wide area and has gained popularity due to
heavy yields, good marketing traits, and hardiness of
tree.

WASHINGTON

SOUTHLAND (7a) Yellow-fleshed variety ripening in
Sunhigh season. Fruit is a freestone, medium to large
size, round, and has little fuzz. Color is attractive, with
a light red blush covering about half the peach at
shipping stage. Flesh is yellow, firm, slow softening,
medium textured, good flavor. Trees are vigorous and
productive, blossoms large, self-fertile.

WASHINGTON (6b) A fine new peach from Virginia

that has outstanding qualities of color, size, flavor, firm-
ness of flesh, and fine texture. The buds are extremely
resistant to injury from spring frosts. It ripens about
three days after Triogem and just before Sunhigh. Trees
are vigorous and productive. Buds have excellent pollen
and are self-fertile. Washington will do well from
southern Virginia northward wherever spring frosts are
troublesome. Use Washington with Madison and Jeffer-
son for season-long coverage of frost-resistant peaches.

COLORA (6c) An outstanding, hardy, early, yellow
freestone peach with high color, superb quality, size,
and hardiness. Colora is our own introduction of a
frost-resistant peach. Trees have withstood temperatures
during past winters of about 17 degrees below zero,
when most other varieties were wiped out by these low
temperatures. The peach is an attractive yellow free-
stone’ripening just after Golden Jubilee.

NEWDAY—N.J. 79 (6d) A large, oval, yellow-
fleshed peach which ripens a few days after Triogem.
The tree is more vigorous and produces larger fruit
than Triogem. The fruit is showy, firm in texture, and
hangs well to the tree.

SUNHIGH—N.J. 82 (7) A large, bright red,
smooth peach which colors well before it ripens and
softens slowly, making it a good commercial 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. Seems to do best in hilly
yo and requires thorough summer spraying.

REDTOP (7a) A new blush red peach from the
US.D.A. that ripens about with Sunhigh or 33 weeks
earlier than Elberta. Redtop has a low chilling require-
ment and was introduced for its firmness, attractiveness,
flavor, and ripening period. Try a few trees of this fine
variety.

LORING (8) A new yellow freestone with wide adapt-
ability. This promising new peach resembles Jubilee in
color and shape, but is much firmer and does not soften
at the suture or the tip. It has an attractive bright red
and yellow color over a yellow ground color. Loring
ripens about two weeks ahead of Elberta. It has been
found an excellent variety for fresh market and process-
ing use.

7 GUEY. JERBERTA— Burnett Elberta (8a) 14. Jarce

medium early, freestone peach ripening with Hale
Haven. Golden yellow color overspread with red. It can
be picked for shipping about four days before ripening,
because of its early color. The quality is excellent for
canning and fresh eating. It shows better than average
results when frozen. The variety does well in all peach
sections.

REDGLOBE (8b) Ripens 15 days before Elberta.
Fruits large, round, with light pubescence. Skin is highly
colored with red over a good yellow ground color. A
freestone. Complete absence of red in the flesh makes
it an outstanding canning peach. Very good quality.
Chilling requirements about same as Elberta. Blossoms
are large and self-fertile.

RICHHAVEN (8) 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
vellow with moderate reddening around the pit. En-
tirely a freestone when ripe. Ripens with Hale Haven,
or 14 days before Elberta.

HALE HAVEN (8d) Large, oval-shaped fruits are
borne on a strong, thrifty tree that is resistant to most
common peach diseases. The skin is tough, and the flesh
is of such texture that it will not bruise easily. A
beautiful red color and excellent flavor attracts the
most exacting buyer. Hale Haven is probably our best
peach for quick freezing.

HALE HAVEN

/ GLOHAVEN
V/GLOHAVEN (8e) A new attractive yellow freestone

peach from Michigan that ripens two weeks before
Elberta. Trees are vigorous, productive and at least
average in wood and bud hardiness. Fruits are nearly
round, and maintain large size even when tree is loaded.
Skin is tough, mostly red over deep yellow ground
color, with little fuzz. Flesh is clear yellow, and because
of its excellent canning and shipping ability, Glohaven
promises to be an outstanding general-purpose variety.

’ GOLDEN EAST—N.J. 87 (8f) A large, oval, firm,
melting, highly colored, yvellow-fleshed peach ripening
about 15 days before Elberta. Usually a freestone. Does
best on sites south of Central New Jersey where favor-
able elevations, soil and climate prevail. Tree is up-
ae spreading and vigorous. Medium in hardiness.

CHAMPION (9) Long known as an excellent white
peach, Champion fills a definite need in this particular
season. Its large, quite regular and beautiful, freestone
fruits ripen between Cumberland and Belle of Georgia.
The tree is very hardy and productive. Champion is the

best“variety to fill this part of the white peach season.
Wes (10) A new, large, round, yellow freestone
that ripens about 10 days earlier than Elberta. Fruits
have light pubescence and are two-thirds covered with
a bright red blush over a golden yellow ground color.
The flesh is firm enough for distant shipment and is of

good flavor. Trees are vigorous and productive. Blos-
pms are large petaled and self-fertile.

VSULLIVAN’S EARLY ELBERTA (10a) An old favor-
ite that leads the early Elberta season. Sullivan ripens
ahead of the regular Early Elberta and Belle of Georgia.
Fruits average large in size, with extra fine quality and
shipping ability. The tree and fruit characteristics ;are
identical with Elberta.

Dear Sirs:
The trees arrived in fine condition. We are very well
pleased with them.

REDCREST—N.J. 26 (10b) A large, attractive
yellow-fleshed freestone ripening about a week before
Elberta. The skin color is a beautiful crimson-red which
resembles Sunhigh. The quality is supreme, flesh golden
yellow, firm and juicy. Tree is productive and a vigor-
ous grower. Redcrest is an airfree peach.

, MADISON (10c) The newest frost-resistant peach to

come from Virginia. Madison is yellow, freestone, firm,
fine textured, and of good quality. Fruits are well
colored with bright yellow overlaid by a bright red
blush. They are very attractive and sell well. The tree
is of average vigor and produces a heavy crop an-
nually. Plant Washington and Jefferson with Madison
for full-season coverage of frost-tolerant peaches.

L-BLAKE (10d) A widely planted and most satisfactory

peach in nearly all major areas with the exception of
the Deep South. Blake is a highly profitable variety
to precede Elberta. Its freestone fruits are medium to
large and very highly colored, with an attractive red
over a good yellow ground color. Flesh is very firm,
with considerable red extending out around the pit,
and of excellent flavor. Trees are good growers, ranking
with Elberta in hardiness of bud and tree, and are very
productive. Size, good color and time of ripening make

Ae the Peach to precede Elberta.

CRESTHAVEN (10e) A new variety from Michigan
that ripens about one week before Elberta. Tree is self-
fruitful, productive, vigorous, and above average in
hardiness of wood and flower buds. Fruits are uniform
medium in size, and nearly round. Skin is moderately
thick, tough, golden overlaid with abundant red, and
shows little fuzz. Flesh is firm and clear, and resists
browning. Cresthaven is very promising for fresh
market, freezing, and home canning.

“EARLY ELBERTA—Gleason Strain (11) A. fine

commercial peach in areas where markets are not too
distant and quality is important. Large, attractively
colored, yellow-fleshed, freestone fruits make it one of
the most beautiful Elberta type peaches. It has excel-
lent quality and ripens with Belle of Georgia. Trees are
hardy, thrifty, and bear consistently. Do not confuse
other strains of Early Elberta with this, the original
Gleason Strain Early Elberta.

budwood.

Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productivity

Bob and Dick Kemp select only the very best buds for
propagation.

ELLE OF GEORGIA (11b) The — unquestioned
favorite of all white peaches and a household word
with the buying public. Fruits are large, bright, at-
tractively covered with red over a creamy white back-
ground. The flesh is white, highly flavored, very firm,
and aromatic. Trees are very vigorous, hardy, and pro-
ductive. Belle of Georgia is the standard by which all
white peaches are judged.

‘POLLY (11c) A very hardy peach bearing big crops
after 20-below-zero winters. It is a freestone of ex-
ceptional quality, with a keen peachy taste, juicy and
aromatic. The color is a beautiful white overlaid with

“red blush. Recommended to all growers who

an exceptional white peach in Elberta season.

HALE HARRISON (11d) U. S. Plant Patent No.
814. We offer this fine peach, often called Hale Harri-
son Brilliant or just Brilliant, under license from the
patent owner. It ripens just before Elberta, is yellow
fleshed, freestone, nicely colored, nearly fuzzless, and
generally large throughout the tree. Blossoms are self-
fertile and abundant. The tree is vigorous and a heavy
bearer.

Hale Harrison is a good shipper, long keeper, and
picks over a long season. Its exceptional quality makes
it a favorite for fresh market and processing outlets.
Pfice for Hale Harrison trees is 10¢ more per tree than
or regular varieties.

REDSKIN (12) Each year Redskin becomes more
popular as the leading peach of the Elberta season. It
is a very pretty, large, round freestone with excellent
shipping qualities. The yellow flesh is very clear, firm,
aromatic, and sweet. Fruits of Redskin are borne in
profusion throughout the tree and color well with a
deep red blush, even under shady conditions. Processors
and fresh market buyers are equally pleased with this
fine peach.

Trees of Redskin are vigorous, fast growing, and pro-
ductive. The wood is hardy, and buds survive low tem-
peratures when trees are in good physical condition.
Redskin trees have the ability to size generous crops
well under most conditions. Why don’t you bring your
plantings in this season up-to-date with Redskin?

Bountiful Ridge

'pEACH Trees

DIXIELAND (12a) This fine new peach is a large
freestone and has little pubescence. At maturity, about
50% of the surface is covered with an attractive red
over a golden yellow ground. The flesh is yellow, firm,
of good texture and flavor.-It ripens about with Red-
skin and Elberta.

Trees are vigorous, productive, and self-fertile, some-
what resistant to bacterial spot and have a chilling
requirement of 750 hours.

Dixieland was introduced primarily for southern
areas, but we believe it worthy of trial in all peach
_areas.
-
ELBERTA (12b) The world’s greatest money-making

peach. Elberta trees are hardy, disease resistant, very
thrifty, and very productive under most conditions.
Fruits are large, freestone, colored a deep golden yellow
blushed with red. The skin is tough, and the flesh, while
tender and juicy, is of such texture that Elberta is
famous for its ability to carry to distant markets.
Quality is good, and the slight bitterness around the
pit is preferred by many. Even though Elberta is an old
variety, you may be sure that you will receive the best
of Elberta strains from Bountiful Ridge.

J. H. HALE (12c) It is one-third to one-half larger
than Elberta and more highly colored. The skin is deep
crimson, smooth, and almost without fuzz. Flesh is
golden yellow, firm, and most delicious. A freestone
with unusual keeping qualities. Fruit ripens a-few days
before or with Elberta, but hangs better. NOTE: J. H.
Hale does not have an entirely perfect bloom and needs
ross-pollination for best results.

WHITE HALE—N.J. 63 (124) A large white-flesh-
ed freestone of good quality, ripening with J. H. Hale.
Tree is vigorous. A fine white-fleshed peach to follow
Belle of Georgia.

“JERSEY QUEEN (12e) A fine new variety, formerly

tested as N. J. 216, which ripens with Elberta. It has
better color, better quality, and better shelf life than
Elberta. It is large and attractive. Trees are vigorous
and productive. Flowers are large and showy, with
good pollen. Yields have been satisfactory on limited
acreage, even after hard winters.

~ BRACKETT (13c) Extend your Elberta season

JEFFERSON (13) Jefferson is a new, round, yellow-
fleshed freestone ripening about two days after Elberta.
Fruits are quite comparable to J. H. Hale, but the
color is much brighter. The trees of Jefferson are more
vigorous than Hale and produce a heavy set of buds
which are self-fertile and quite tolerant to spring frosts.
We suggest that you use Jefferson in combination with
Washington and Madison for a full season of frost-

‘tolerant peaches in any area where spring frosts present
/ a problem.

MARGLOW (13a) An open pollinated seedling of
Redskin introduced just this year by the University of
Maryland. Marglow is a beautiful, round, red peach
that ripens 3 days after Redskin. Trees are vigorous
and productive. Try this fine new variety to extend the
Redskin season in your area.

SHIPPERS LATE RED—Hale Type (13b) A proven
variety to follow Elberta which has class and is a good
money-maker. Fruits, which ripen just after Elberta
and Hale, are very large, very highly colored, yellow
fleshed, freestone, and of exceptional quality. Shippers
Late Red is a good shipper, stores well in cold storage,
and is extremely productive. Its excellent appearance
causes it to bring highest prices. Hale Type Shippers Late
Red is the best of the many strains of this fine variety.

SHIPPERS LATE RED

with
this fine peach whose popularity is increasing. Brackett
ripens about five days after Elberta, and its beautiful,
large, orange-yellow fruits tinged with carmine bring
high market prices. Fruits have deep yellow flesh that
is much better in flavor than Elberta. Brackett sizes
well under heavy crops, ships well, is freestone, and
an excellent peach in most areas extending from

/ Mississippi northward.

MARHIGH (13d) This fine new peach from the
University of Maryland brings Redskin quality and
appearance Just a little later. We think this new variety
will fit into most any orchard plan; especially where
late fruit is desirable. Marhigh ripens 5-7 days after
Redskin on good vigorous trees. Fruits are good, well-
colored and carry well.

GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA (14)

et ~~

MARSUN PEACHES

An extra large, ,

beautifully colored peach with high quality and fine »

shipping ability that follows Elberta by about 10 days.
Fruits of Gemmers are larger than Elberta, more highly
colored, and somewhat more round. Its good,
skin is nearly covered with a brilliant red color. Flesh

tough |

is firm and slightly tinged with red around the pit. .

Trees are vigorous, productive, and long lived. Many

growers have used Gemmers Late Elberta as an ex--
cellent substitute for Rio-Oso-Gem. Gemmers brings -

high prices, high yields, and stores well.

RIO-OSO-GEM (14a) A widely grown, beautiful,
Hale type peach that ripens 7 to 10 days after Elberta.
It is large sized, with brilliant red color and light pubes-
cence. The flesh is firm and fine textured, with ex-
cellent flavor. Rio-Oso-Gem is best known as a highly

profitable fresh market peach, but it is equally good as.

a. canning and freezing variety. Trees are not very
vigorous, but set good crops each year.

SO GOOD (145) A new yellow freestone from
Maryland ripening about with Rio-Oso-Gem. Fruits are
large, highly colored, and most nearly resemble Red-
skin. It crops annually, with good yields. Trees are
vigorous and healthy, more upright than Redskin. So
Good should have a place in your plantings.

N.J. 162

(14c) A very attractive, large, firm, yel-.

low-fleshed peach ripening a week to 10 days after’

Elberta. The blossoms do not produce viable pollen

and, therefore, adequate provision should be made for’

cross pollination.

MARQUEEN (14d) Just introduced this year by the

University of Maryland, Marqueen is certain to become |
popular almost overnight. It ripens 2-5 days after So)
Good and just a bit later than Rio-Oso-Gem. The |
fruits are well-colored, of good size and appearance, |
and make a beautiful pack. We think Marqueen is just:
the peach to extend your season for high quality fruit.

Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productivity

LIZZIE
grower success in most central and eastern peach areas.
Lizzie is a distinct Elberta type which has size, color,
firmness, and high quality. It is a freestone with fine-
textured, yellow flesh. It ripens 12 to 16 days after
Elberta, with handsome red color over a deep yellow

(15) An old variety with a proud history of

ground color. Fruits are good for shipping, local
markets, and processing. Trees are vigorous, hardy,
heavy and annual bearers. Many growers consider it the

Sh of our very late peaches.

MONROE (15a) A new late season yellow freestone
from Virginia. Monroe ripens about 6 days after Rio-
Oso-Gem in a period for which no good peach is avail-
able. The fruits are above average in size, have bright
red color and are very firm. The flesh has good texture,
and the quality and flavor are superior to Rio-Oso-
Gem. Trees of Monroe produce only a moderate set of
buds that have shown above average tolerance to spring
frost. However, the trees are reliable producers of large,
handsome fruits. We suggest trial plantings of Monroe
in ¢very peach section.

‘AUTUMN—N.J. 145 (16) A large, yellow free-
stone that ripens just after Lizzie. Fruit colors a good
yellow with a fine red blush on one cheek. The tree is
very vigorous and should be planted on well-drained
peach soil. Autumn is just the peach for the grower
who wishes good size, high quality, very late fruit for
roadstand or nearby markets. In recent years, Autumn
h een stored in cold storage well into the fall.

MARSUN (17) This new peach variety was introduced
by the men from Maryland because of its very late
maturing season. Marsun is a highly colored peach that
ripens 28-30 days after Redskin. It is best suited for
the Maryland area and points south. We do think it
worthy of trial in other late peach producing areas.

NOVELRED
Half Nectarine—Half Peach

Novelred is a brand-new discovery that is
neither all peach nor all nectarine. Both fuzzy
and smooth fruits are produced on the same tree
at the same time. Many times you will find that
one fruit is partly smooth and partly fuzzy. The
quality of both types of fruit is excellent. The
fuzz on the ordinary peach-like fruits is short and
not objectionable.

Fruits of Novelred are very large, very red, and
have extra fine flavor. Size runs to 3% inches in
many cases. Clusters will make 2% inches under
most conditions. The excellent color of Novelred
is generally a brilliant red which covers nearly
all of the fruit. Even the poorer colored ones are
blushed with a deep red which makes them more
than appealing to the most critical eye. The
smooth fruits are most always the best colored,
however. The flesh of Novelred is white, streaked
with carmine, and very juicy. Both the smooth
and fuzzy fruits have excellent flavor, being a bit
more tart and winey than an ordinary peach.

Novelred is a full freestone seedling of Erly-
Red-Fre which it most nearly resembles. Its
ripening season is about that of its parent, and
at a time when highly flavored peaches or nectar-
ines are not available. We know Novelred will
not be good for large commercial planting, but we
feel that it is a fine addition to the home
gardener’s or small grower’s variety list. Supply
limited. . . . Price: 50¢ more per plant than for
regular peach, according to size and quantity.

Nematode-Resistant Peach Trees
ON NEMAGUARD ROOTSTOCKS

New Nemaguard seedlings have proven to be resistant to the common nematodes found
in most peach areas. Use of these rootstocks will enable you to continue growing peaches
profitably in infested areas, Nemaguard is a new seedling rootstock introduced by the
U.S.D.A. that is far superior to Yunnan and other older and similar nematode-resistant root-
stocks. We are now using ONLY Nemaguard as a nematode-resistant understock for peach.

(DAYTON STRAIN)

Large Size—Vigor of Growth—Productivity—Plus
Virus-Free Planting Stock Make It Superior to all
Other Types of Montmorency.

It was discovered in the orchards of Clyde 8S. Mumma,
Dayton, Ohio, in a general planting of Montmorency
trees. When we first saw the tree it was about 10 years
of age and loaded down with fruit, having a heavier
crop than any other trees adjoining it. All trees had the
same attention, and Mr. Mumma says it had always
borne this large type of Montmorency. The tree 1
vigorous but not any larger than other trees. The fruits
have the same rich red color as other Montmorency
cherries but seem to be slightly more mild in flavor. Its
immense size immediately attracted attention. We grew
several hundred trees of this type for Mr. Mumma’s own
planting and now pass it on to our customers at no
additienal cost to them. Nature again contributes an
improved type to our greatest sour cherry.

EARLY RICHMOND One of the most valuable and
popular cherries, unsurpassed for cooking purposes. It is
the good old variety that yields such marvelous crops in
gardens. The most hardy of all varieties, uninjured by
the coldest winters.

P Varieties listed in order of ripening

CHEROKEE A highly colored new variety from Vir-
ginia that ripens about 30 days before Elberta. Fruits
are yellow fleshed, semi-freestone and above average in
quality. Trees are productive, medium vigorous, and
produce large showy flowers. Cherokee has above
average tolerance to brown rot and spring frost. First
ae of Cherokee will be available in Fall 1968.

REDBUD A white-fleshed, average-sized freestone
ripening about 27 days before Elberta. A good bright
red, attractive, smooth skin covers the fruits which are
above average in firmness, medium in texture, and of
good quality. The trees are of average vigor and pro-
duce heavy sets of buds. They are highly resistant to
brown rot when a standard peach spray schedule is
followed. Buds are more tolerant to late frost than Red-
(chief, but slightly less than those of Cavalier.

\V LEXINGTON 4 yellow-fleshed variety ripening about
NZ, days before Elberta, with average-sized, freestone
fruits 2 inches or more in diameter. The skin is a deep
yellow overlaid with red, giving an attractive ap-
pearance. The flesh is medium textured and of good
flavor. Lexington is resistant to brown rot when regular
peach spray is used. The trees are vigorous and set a
large amount of fruit buds which are relatively hardy.

\/ LAFAYETTE The largest of all the new Virginia selec-
tions. Lafayette has the best skin color and finish, too.
Even though the flesh is white, we think this fine new
variety will be a welcome addition to every planting.
Fruits ripen with Lexington, seem resistant to brown
rot, and good crops are borne annually.

NECTARINES

FLAVORFUL - BEAUTIFUL - POPULAR

REDCHIEF One of our best white-fleshed varieties.
Fruits are of good size, highly colored, freestone, and
with a very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty and pro-
ductive, with a marked resistance to brown rot. Red-
chief ripens about 13 days before Elberta and is moder-
atelytolerant of spring frost.

AepEN STATE A large, firm, freestone, yellow-

fleshed nectarine that ripens with Hale Haven and Red-
chief, 12 to 15 days before Elberta. An orange-yellow
undercolor is overspread with red to give it a fine ap-
pearance. Trees are vigorous and productive. One of
our finest nectarine varieties.

| CAVALIER More highly colored than Redchief. It has

good size, fine yellow flesh with high quality, marked
resistance to brown rot, and is a freestone. Trees are
vigorous and productive, setting abundant quantities of
fruit buds that are quite tolerant of spring frost.
Cavalier ripens about eight days before Elberta.

(Plant Patent Applied For)

he ee SSIS ola

A very fine new nectarine found by Anthony and
Nunzio Curcio of Hammonton, New Jersey. Fran-_
cesco produces extremely large freestone fruits of —
high quality. The fruits are more than half covered ©
wtih a beautiful carmine-red which is laid over a _
good golden yellow ground color. Ripening period —
is from August 25th to about September 5th or in —
the Blake-Redskin peach season in the Hammonton —
area.

The Curcio’s were first attracted to this new fruit —
by its excellent size. Mature fruits of Francesco will —
measure 22 or more inches when well grown. Color
is such that Francesco can compete very favorably —
with western nectarines. The fruits are resistant to
disease and insect pests as grown on second and A
third generation trees. The Curcio Brothers have —
found a good peach spray schedule completely satis-
factory for this new nectarine. Added benefits of ©
Francesco are fine flavor and excellent keeping and —
shipping quality. ne

medium large in growth, upright and round-topped —
in habit. They are hardy and bear annually. Flowers —
and buds are hardy and open medium early. Cros
pollination is not required.

The first trees of Francesco will be available in-
the Fall of 1968. We suggest you place your orders
now to reserve your needs. You may be assured this —
is an excellent nectarine that can be successfully —
grown under eastern conditions. It is truly a fine fruit
for the commercial and home grower. Price of Fran-
cesco will be 75¢ more per tree than regular Nectarines. _

date is a few days later than for Transparent, but Lodi
can be picked earlier because of good size. Trees are

to ripen and the largest of all early apples, a better
name for it is “Big Red Apple.” Flesh is white, juicy
and slightly tart, tender and crisp. A very good one, like
Transparent. Bears heavily on young trees.

ripening just after Lodi. Wellington matures all of its
fruit at one time and needs only one picking. An ex-
cellent early commercial for fresh and processor markets.

almost red in color, very crisp. A thrifty grower and a
regular bearer. Your opportunity to have the McIntosh
type as a very early apple. Cash in on the popularity of
the McIntosh by growing Early McIntosh for your
markets.

CAULEY (3a) An extra large apple suited for growing
in the deep south. Fruits mature about the middle of
August in Mississippi and are greenish yellow with
a slight blush of pink. Since Cauley is best used for
culinary purposes, it can be picked 4-6 weeks ahead of
actual maturity. Trees of Cauley are long lived, pro-
ductive, and highly resistant to fire blight. Blossoms do
need pollination and Yellow Delicious is suggested.

/Trees available on E. M. VII rootstock only.

SUMMER CHAMPION (3b) A bright red apple rip-
ening in midsummer, with good size and fair quality.
The trees bear early and produce heavy crops. We feel
this fine-looking apple should have a place in most
plantings of summer apples. It is good for local and

distant markets.

PURITAN (3c) A new MelIntosh type which picks
about with Early McIntosh. It has a fine red-blush
color and averages larger than Early McIntosh. It is
more acid than Early McIntosh and rates fair to good
for dessert purposes. Puritan is recommended for trial in

‘orchard plantings.

JULYRED (3d) A fine new summer apple from New
Jersey that ripens a week to ten days after the first
picking of Starr. Fruits are covered with an attractive
red color, good to eat, and above medium in size.
Julyred is attractive, firmer, and has better shelf life than
most other summer apples. Won’t you try them... .

/ TYDEMAN’S RED (3e) A new late summer apple

/ Fruits are large, red; similar to McIntosh but much

firmer.

RED GRAVENSTEIN (4) This favorite of many years
as a summer apple of fine quality and shipping ability
is now offered in a Red Strain. Large, well colored, with
slightly yellow flesh of fine quanity. Tree is vigorous and
productive. Ripens somewhat irregularly and should be
picked several times.

Wealthy and after Williams’ Early Red. The tree is
vigorous, healthy, and a heavy producer. Fruit hangs
well and can be picked over a long period of time to
get the best size and color. Averages 24-inch fruit with
normal crop.

BLAZE (4b) A new Jonathan type apple ripening
about 34% weeks earlier than Jonathan. Fruit is medium
in size, attractively blushed with red over golden yellow,
and somewhat less tart than Jonathan. Tree is upright,
spreading, vigorous, and productive. Blooms two days
after Jonathan.

MILTON (5) Typical McIntosh, coloring full red; very
good quality, about equal to McIntosh, being same
texture apple. Tree hardy and vigorous. Ripens three
to four weeks before McIntosh or just before Wealthy.

RED WARRIOR (5a) The tree is vigorous, well
formed similar to McIntosh, and bears regularly. The
fruit is large, normally averaging better than 3 inches.
The skin is smooth, colored a brilliant red from stem to
calyx, and does not bruise easily. Its ripening season is
about with Wealthy or a little earlier. It is sub-acid in
flavor and is an excellent cooking variety. The apple is

| shaped nearly like a Stayman.

J NIAGARA (5b) A 1962 introduction from New York

which provides a McIntosh type apple about two weeks
earlier. In appearance, flavor, and tree habit, Niagara is
very similar to McIntosh. Its desirable picking season
and similarity to McIntosh should help its commercial

// acceptance.

WEALTHY (6) This beautiful, moderate sized, bril-
liant red apple is of fine quality—one of the best of its
season. It is a relatively good keeper, and owing to the
hardiness of the tree, its adaptability to cold climates,
and early bearing habits, it can be profitable as a filler.

UMMER RAMBO (7) Large, flat, streaked red and

yellow, very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree is a very
vigorous, semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.

SKYSPUR (7a) A spur-type mutation of the
Famous Skyline Supreme Red Delicious intro-
duced by us several years ago. Fruits of SKY-

SPUR are large, have good Delicious shape, <<

and are completely covered with the same good
red blush that is present on Skyline Supreme.
Season of ripening is the same as its parent, too.

Trees of SKYSPUR are normally semi-dwarf
in size. The open, spreading habit of growth
allows all the fruit to color well. Fruits are borne
on long spurs throughout the tree. The fruits
hang free and are less subject to spur injury
than on most other spur-type varieties.

SKYSPUR sets a heavy crop at an early age.
No need to waste precious time and money on
slower bearing strains of Delicious. SKYSPUR
does need pollination for best results. We sug-
gest “NUGGET,” our new spur-type Yellow
Delicious; or “SUNGOLD,” the new spur-type
russet-free variety which resembles Yellow
Delicious from New Jersey. See Special Price
List for one year trees on standard rootstocks
only.

SKYLINE SUPREME RED DELICIOUS (7)

RED DELICIOUS

Early Coloring - Early Ripening

SKYLINE SUPREME is a true sport Starking that is
particularly outstanding because of its early coloring
and early ripening habits. Fruits of Skyline Supreme
reach full color and maturity several weeks earlier
than Richared and Starking, and many days earlier than
most recently introduced early coloring types. They
color equally well in all areas of the tree. The well
colored, completely blush red fruits are ready to pick
at the same time as the red sports of McIntosh.

Skyline Supreme exhibits a strong habit toward the
sheep-nosed condition prevalent among western grown
Delicious. Trees are vigorous, bear young, and set large
crops of large, highly colored fruits. Blossoms are simi-
lar to other types of Red Delicious and appear at the
same time. Pollination is needed for best results.

Trees of Skyline Supreme are normally regular size.

susceptible to russetting than regular Yellow Delicious.

Trees of Nugget are normally semi-dwarf—about one-

/SUNGOLD (11b) A russet-free apple resembling Yel-
low Del. found in New Jersey. Sungold is much the same
quality, appearance, and shape as Yellow Delicious.
Fruits ripen at the same time as Yellow Delicious and
must be handled in the same way. Trees are vigorous,
bear young, and are more spurred than Yellow Deli-
cious. Sungold is a good pollinator.

MACOUN (11c) Very highly colored, having no
stripe. Same quality as McIntosh, same textured fruit,
hangs to the tree better than McIntosh and ripens one
to two weeks after Cortland. Tree about equal to
McIntosh, a regular bearer, and strongly recommended
to lengthen the McIntosh season.

RICHARED DELICIOUS (11d) The best of the red
sports of Delicious. It has superb quality, beautiful
bright red color without stripe, and excellent shape,
Trees are hardy, vigorous, and produce large annual
crops. Fruits of Richared are large, very handsome, and
good. They ripen all over the tree weeks earlier than
regular Delicious. Richared is your best bet for eleva-
tions over 100 feet. An excellent storage apple, too.

Keone RED DELICIOUS (11e) Another sport of
Delicious that ripens with a stripe. It is your best bet
for an early coloring Delicious at low elevations. When
planted in areas over 100 feet, it tends to get too dark
and is not as handsome as Richared. It bears young and
produces large crops of fine, beautiful Delicious apples.
Very similar to Starking.

VWAYNE-SPUR RED DELICIOUS (11t) A very
new and promising Spur Type Red Delicious from
Virginia. Fruit is produced on spurs along scaffold limbs
throughout the tree. Fruits are typical of Red Delicious
in shape, are predominantly blushed red and of good
size. Wayne-Spur colors earlier than Double Red De-
licious, but ripens about the same time. Trees are true
semi-dwarf and bear ample crops early in life. Storage
life and firmness is better than Double Red Delicious.
We recommend this fine new apple.

\VVMUTSU (115) A new Yellow Delicious type apple
from Japan that is highly resistant to russetting. Fruits
are generally larger than Yellow Delicious and with
coarser flesh. A possible replacement for Yellow De-
licious because of its resistance to spray injury, late
keeping qualities, vigorous growth of tree, and larger
fruit.

V EARLY RED STAYMAN (Neipling’s) (12) Colors
100% all over the apple, from 10 to 20 days before
the regular Stayman. Growers can pick the entire crop
at one picking, if desired, and avoid losses. Cold
storage tests show it will keep through to following
May and come out with less scald, more flavor and
ymore snap than any other type Stayman.

VY NORTHERN SPY (13) Large, roundish conical, of-
ten flattened, slightly ribbed; handsomely striped with
red. Flavor rich, aromatic, mild sub-acid, fine. Keeps
through winter and late into spring.

TURLEY (13a) The trees resemble Stayman and are
vigorous, rapid growers, productive and early bearing.
The apples average large to very large; skin smooth,
coloring a bright attractive red over the entire apple.
Flesh is firm; quality is good but cannot be classed as
a high dessert apple. The value of this apple lies in the
fact that it will not crack under normal conditions.

\/ COLORA RED YORK (14) Earlier coloring, earlier
picking, greater profits. The tree of Colora Red York
has the same rugged characteristics as the old York
Imperial, but will color 100% over the entire tree under
most conditions. The Colora Red York can be picked
from one to two weeks earlier than regular York. The
entire crop can be picked at one time if desired. We do
not know of any other type that will give the grower
such attractive apples as the Colora Red York produces.

RED YORKING (14a) Another red sport of York
Imperial that has merit. We offer this variety to our cus-
tomers’ who have experienced more success with Red
Yorking than Colora Red York because of site condi-
tions, ete.

ELROSE (145) A new late-keeping winter apple
that is a cross of Jonathan and Delicious. Tree blooms
later than either parent. Fruits ripen just before Stay-
man, keep well in cold storage until April, and so far
have proven free of Jonathan spot.

Fruits are well covered with an attractive carmine
and have a live yellow undertone. Fruits larger than
Jonathan—firm, crisp, Juicy, not as tart as Jonathan or
as sweet as Delicious. Excellent cooking and dessert
quality.

Tree bears moderately young, is upright, spreading,
with good crotch angles, and develops to a reasonably
large size.

\VDOUBLE RED STAYMAN—201 Type (15) One

of the newer introductions which has found favor
with some growers. Trees and fruit characteristics
similar to Blaxtayman except that it has a more brilliant
color which lays on earlier and does not get the dark

Yi often found in some Stayman types.

V RUBY (15a) A promising late-keeping apple. Ruby

has great eye appeal because of its striking, brilliant
over-all carmine-red. The tree resembles Rome in
growth, bears early and produces annually. Blooms
about with Gallia and just after Delicious. Picking date
is about with Rome or just before Stayman. The flavor
is good, surpassing that of Rome Beauty. It is some-
what 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.

Our Trees Are Triple Inspected For Your Protection

KING LUSCIOUS

U. S. PLANT PATENT No. 1994 (15b)

KING LUSCIOUS is probably the largest good apple
to come to the planter in many years. KING LUSCIOUS
was found by the late Wm. M. Dalton of Henderson-
ville, N. C., who later crossed it with Red Delicious and
King David, resulting in the fine apple which we are
pleased to introduce to our trade.

KING LUSCIOUS is a very large, highly colored
apple with good keeping, eating, and cooking qualities.
The skin is a deep red at maturity with a beautiful
bloom. The flesh is pure white with excellent flavor. The
season of ripening is with Rome Beauty and Stayman,
although it may be picked sooner for cooking purposes
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 attrac-
tive appearance, but because it is the most frost-resis-
tant apple variety we know of.

Please refer to second cover for color illustration
of this new and wonderful apple.

WINTER BANANA (16) Vigorous grower: early

bearer. Fruit medium to large, smooth and handsome
golden yellow, usually shaded with red blush. Flesh fine
ained, rich sub-acid, aromatic; highest quality.

GALLIA BEAUTY—Red Rome (17) 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. Again we urge you to
plant only the Genuine Gallia Beauty. We offer you
the best, and charge you no more. ;

Bountiful Ridge

APPLE Trees

JERSEY RED (17a) A cross of Gallia Beauty and

White Winter Pearmain. Fruits are large round-oblate

and color a deep attractive red. Very firm and late

keeping as Rome. Holds to tree exceptionally well. The

tree is very vigorous, with large heavy foliage resistant

to blight and breakdown. Fruit seems a little better
ality than most Rome types.

CHESAPEAKE (17b) A fine, new late keeping apple
with outstanding quality developed by Frank Browning
of Wallingford, Ky. Chesapeake is a chance seedling
which seems to embody the best characteristics of the
Stayman and Rome varieties. It is a large, red apple
that ripens with Rome. Much like the Rome variety,
Chesapeake keeps well into the winter, even in common
storage. Its good flavor resembles that of Stayman and
is mildly sub-acid. Fruits retain their juices well through-
out storage and are excellent for fresh or culinary
purposes.

Trees of Chesapeake are vigorous, productive, and
bear at an early age. Blooms appear with those of
Rome and are hardy. Spring frosts are not a problem.
Trees are available on Standard and E.M. VII Root-

st6cks.

RED ROME—No. 262 Type (17) This type
Red Rome comes to us from the far West and has been
planted widely in the Appalachian fruit area. Its merits
over Gallia Beauty are questionable, but some growers
like it better.

BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINESAP (18) A glori-
fied selection of the famous Winesap with the same
beautiful color—same quality—same keeping ability
found years ago in the orchard of The Consolidated
Orchard Co. of Paw Paw, W. Va. This strain produces
heavy annual crops of fruit that, very often, is as large
as Stayman. The fruit has every characteristic of the
Old Virginia Winesap in shape, color, quality, and
growth habits. The tree is typical Winesap, including
leaf markings. Bountiful Strain Imp. Winesap has be-
come a favorite with orchardists for local and long-
distance sales. Especially popular as an extra long keep-
ing variety for use in polyethylene bags.

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.

ORIENTAL PERSIMMONS

/ EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL

ATOMA Tree of this new hardy type is strong, vig-
orous in growth and a good bearer. The fruit is large,
oblate with well defined quarter marks, skin orange-
yellow changing to dark orange with a delicate bloom
and’ waxy appearance; light clear flesh when ripe.
Loses its astringency when ripe and of high quality.

Alangs well.

FUYUGAK I Fruit of this variety is never astringent.
It is edible while still hard and may be peeled and
eaten like an apple. It keeps well and quality is of the
best. Fruits are medium in size, rather flattened,
eautiful deep red color, and a very prolific bearer.

HYAKUME The Hyakume persimmon is a large fruit
of the black meat type. The tree normally grows to a
height of about 10 feet producing a medium quantity
of fruit of high sugar content. It is beautifully orna-
mental.

EUREKA A hardy variety with a most delicious flavor.
Sometimes seedless. Big red-orange fruits literally
cover the tree and hang until soft and ripe. Slick,
dark-green foliage adds to the ornamental value of
this type grafted persimmon.

HIGHLY DELICIOUS

VTANE-NASHI Large to very large, conical in shape.

Light yellow changing to red as the fruit ripens. Flesh
is astringent until fully ripe when it acquires a de-
lightful flavor that is characteristic of the fruit.

Prices For All Persimmons:

3 to 4 foot branched, $5.25 each; 3 for $15.00
2 to 3 foot branched, $4.50 each; 3 for $13.00

Oriental Persimmons are one of the finest ornamental
plants we know. They have beautiful, waxy green
foliage through the summer which changes to rich,
golden yellow streaked with red in fall. The trees are
rather slow growers which makes them popular for
small homesites. Tree characteristics of Oriental Per-
simmons are outstanding enough to merit space in
any planting. Delicious fruit is an added bonus.

The Oriental persimmon is adapted to most regions
in the South and can be raised successfully as far
North as Pennsylvania. The trees are vigorous and
bear young. We ask that you give your persimmon
trees excellent care upon arrival. They break dormancy
more slowly than most other trees, but will be entirely
satisfactory if kept well watered.

attractive appearance and a distinctive flavor. Trees are
hardy, vigorous, productive, and bear annually. This
fine old variety is blight resistant when good cultural
practices are followed.

CLAPP’S FAVORITE (2) A large, fine pear that re-
sembles Bartlett except that it is much longer. Fruits
are colored a pale lemon-yellow with brown dots. They
have fine texture; are melting, buttery, juicy, and
delicately flavored. Trees are hardy and productive.

DAWN (3) Dawn is picking mature about two
weeks earlier than Bartlett. Fruit generally resembles
Bartlett but the skin is smoother. The fruit is very good
in quality, sweet, spicy, and very juicy. It ripens in 12
to 14 days when held at 70 degrees, and is almost free
of grit cells.

Trees of Dawn are moderately vigorous, upright in
growth, and bear on short terminals. They are suscep-
tible to fire blight and should be grown only where
Bartlett is grown successfully. Flowers contain only a
moderate amount of pollen. ,

RIPENING INFORMATION Mos: all pears should
be picked before actually ripe and put in a cool (60 to
70 degree), shaded, or dark place to finish ripening.
They will be sweeter, more juicy and eye-appealing.

PEARS

A Good Pear for Everyone

Low Maintenance — Long Profit

MOONGLOW (3a) A large, early-ripening pear
which is promising for processing and market use. It is
picking mature from 10 days to two weeks ahead of
Bartlett and will ripen to prime eating quality 15 to
18 days later. Fruits are attractive, nearly free of grit
cells, rather soft and moderately juicy. Flavor is rated
as good.

Trees of Moonglow are vigorous, very upright, heavily
spurred, and bear early. Abundant pollen is present.
Moonglow is very resistant to fire blight. Never have
we seen cankers of this disease enter older wood. This
has been a most popular variety to date, and we expect
demand to continue. Order trees early for this promising
new pear.

(-FLEMISH BEAUTY (4) A large, juicy, melting and

rich variety that doubles as an excellent pollinator.
Trees are hardy, strong growers, and good bearers; they
prefer sunny locations.

BARTLETT (5) The standard by which all other
pears are judged. It has large size, golden yellow color,
and tremendous quality. It is equally popular on the
fresh market and with the processors. Fruits are buttery,
very juicy, and highly flavored. Trees are strong growers,
bear early and abundantly. Bartlett is moderately sus-
ceptible to fire blight and should be planted where this
disease is not too severe.

IMPROVED BARTLETT (6) A “local find” that is
similar in growth habit and fruit to regular Bartlett. It
bears young and heavily, with well-shaped and flavorful
fruits. Most important is that this fine variety has had
pear blight only once in all the years we have grown
it. Then, the blight was purposely induced by overfeed-
ing, and the cankers did not go beyond the soft new
wood. Our tree recovered nicely and is continuing to
produce fine crops. We think this is a fine new variety
and want you to try it, but we cannot guarantee it
blight-proof because growing conditions, tree vigor, and
planting site could alter its fine record.

DWARF PEARS

See our complete Dwarf Pear Listing on page
29 if the smaller tree will suit your needs better.
These fine plants grown on Quince rootstocks
produce the same sort of fruit as the large trees.
Select your needs from these varieties. Anjou,
Bartlett, Clapps Favorite, Devoe, Duchess, Im-
proved Bartlett, Kieffer, Magness, Max-Red
Bartlett, Moonglow, and Seckel.

DOUGLAS (7) An early-bearing, blight-resistant va-
riety that is hardy and very productive. Healthy young
trees, which often bear in their third season, produce
large fruits handsomely covered with a red blush and
smooth finish.

DEVOE (8) A real good variety that is popular and
profitable, especially in eastern pear-growing areas.
Devoe most nearly resembles Beurre Bosc in shape.
It has a rich appearance, large size, and delicious flavor.
Devoe brings highest prices on fresh markets every-
where and is excellent canned.

Fruits are borne in profusion at an early age on very
vigorous and strong trees. A golden yellow color, high-
lighted with a pretty red cheek, covers the long fruits

as harvest time approaches. The flesh is firm, white,
lacking in grit cells, juicy and sweet. When picked at
proper stage of maturity, Devoe will keep well in cold
storage until January and later. Proper picking time is
about a week later than Bartlett.

The tree is upright in habit; wood is whippy and
beats a good fruit load without breakage. It is very re-
sistant to pear psylla.

Devoe is a good Blight-Resistant variety. However,
Blight Resistance in no way implies that the variety will
be completely free of fire blight, regardless of the cul-
tural practices used. Devoe is a fine, vigorous grower and
needs little fertilization, no constant cultivation or ex-

an pruning for good results.

MAGNESS (8a) A very blight-resistant, new variety
that is picking mature about a week later than Bartlett.
The fruit is lightly covered with russet, medium in
size, and generally oval in shape. The flesh is soft, very
juicy, almost free of grit cells, sweet, highly perfumed,
and aromatic. The skin is tough and resists insect
injury. Magness can be held up to three months in cold
storage and ripen with good quality.

Trees are very vigorous, spreading, and sometimes
thorny. They begin bearing at about six years. Magness
is entirely pollen-sterile and must be pollinated with
some other variety for good set. Blight resistance is
extremely high. Cankers of this disease have never
spread into two-year wood, even when the disease was
purposely induced. Magness is a good variety for trial
in all areas.

MAX-RED BARTLETT (8b) A bud sport of the well
known Bartlett variety which matures about one week
later. The primary difference is the color which Max
Red assumes. The flesh is white, juicy, of fine texture,
and good quality. The skin turns a beautiful mahogany

d at maturity. The trees are similar in growth and
roductivity to the parent.

ANJOU—Beurre d’Anjou (9) A large, fine pear
that is buttery and melting, with a sprightly flavor. The
tree is a fine grower, very productive, and an early
bearer; one of our best varieties for the home and
orchard trade. Anjou is partially resistant to fire blight.

BEURRE BOSC (10) A large pear colored a dark,
rich yellow overspread with a cinnamon russet. Flesh is
white, rich, tender, very juicy, and with pleasing aroma.
Quality is very good, Seckel alone surpassing it as a
dessert fruit. Trees are slow growers and do not bear at
an early age, but are large and most productive at
maturity. They are blight susceptible.

=
DUCHESSE D’ANGOULEME (11) A very large,
greenish yellow pear that is the favorite of many home
gardeners. Trees grow equally well on standard or
dwarf roots, making beautifully symmetrical trees that
bear early and annual crops of fine fruits. Fruits are

ye melting, and of fine flavor.
ORDEN SECKEL (12) A Seckel type pear that is

larger and more handsome than Seckel. Fruits are
smooth, glossy, uniform, with a good blushed cheek on
a handsome yellow background. They keep longer than
Seckel. A hardy tree that bears when young.

\SECKEL (12a) A small, rich yellowish brown pear that
is/ one of the best flavored ones known. Seckel is very
roductive, somewhat blight resistant, and easy to grow.
t is the all-time favorite for home planting.

ORIENT (13) A good blight-resistant variety for
southern growers. The trees are large, vigorous, produc-
tive, and require little pruning. Fruit is firm, juicy,
slightly sweet, and nearly round. Its creamy white flesh
ras good texture and cans well.

KIEFFER (14) Grown in all sections of the United
States and Canada, the tree is practically immune to
blight, very thrifty in growth, and bears consistently
heavy crops. Fruits are large, colored golden yellow,
juicy, often gritty, and of poor quality for fresh use.
They are quite good for culinary purposes, however, and
keep well into the winter.

HELPFUL HINT: Most pear varieties are self-unfruit-
ful and should be interplanted with other varieties.
Seckel and Bartlett will not cross-pollinate each other
and where these two varieties are being planted, another
variety should be added. Duchesse and Flemish Beauty
are the best pollinating varieties.

Early Bearing, Fast Growing, Blight Resistant Trees

We highly recommend planting Chinese Chestnuts
on hillsides, in pastures, on roadsides, in barnyards, in
lawns, and in areas where general farming operations
fail because of topographical conditions for beauty,
shade and delicious nuts. Blight resistant Chinese
Chestnut trees will thrive on most any site which will
support other tree vegetation.

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

THE LIVING FENCE

Multifiora Roses are being used effectively to decrease
soil erosion, as 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.

EBONY KING

The sensational new, heavy-bearing blackberry that is
proving superior because of its ability to bear con-
sistent heavy crops. Also contributing to the popularity
of this fine variety is the fact that non-bearing plants

with very high dessert quality. Fruit is suitable for
processing, home/use, and for fresh fruit markets. Fruit
ripens early. Plants are thrifty and hardy.

Thornfree do not sucker.

BOYSENBERRY

A giant of the blackberry type. Mote flavorful than
the blackberry and can be picked over a longer period
of time. Yields are extremely high. The plant is a

BLACK HAWK (Black)

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 New Logan’s outstanding characteristics is its
resistance to mosaic and other raspberry diseases. The
berry ripens one week earlier than Cumberland. It is a
heavier yielder and the glossy black berries are as large.
It holds up well through drought. The last picking is as
fresh and free from seediness as the first.

A thrifty grower, and although not as upright as
Cumberland, our growers find this no objection if the
summer shoots are topped higher than normal.

\ BRISTOL (Black)

Bristol is one of the best black raspberries being
grown. It ripens just a few days before Cumberland.
The berries are large and firm, fairly glossy and very
attractive. Quality is one of the best. The bushes are
very hardy and vigorous. Bristol rates as one of the
heaviest bearing black-caps now known. From observa-
tion and reports coming to us, we can recommend it
highly to planters for either commercial markets or
home use.

OTT’S PENNRIDGE (Red) =>

We are pleased to introduce to our customers one of
the finest new red raspberries we have ever seen. Ott’s
Pennridge originated in Bucks County, Pa., on the farm
of Mr. H. Lloyd Ott. He was first attracted to this new
berry when he noticed a few plants of outstanding
vigor and berry size among his Latham. He propagated
from these original plants, and after several years of
selection and testing, he asked us to see the fine results
of his work. We found this new berry most exceptional.

OTT’S PENNRIDGE is a large, healthy, vigorous
grower that averages one to two feet taller than Latham.
The berries are about 50% larger than Latham, and
ripen some 10 days later. Test trials indicate that these
large, heavily loaded plants out-yield most other red
raspberries two to one. OTT’S PENNRIDGE berries
have excellent flavor and carry as well as the best of the
leading red raspberriés.

INDIAN SUMMER
EVERBEARING RED

The quality is good and the season very early, start-
ing a day or two later than June varieties. The fall
crop commences in mid-September, continuing until
stopped by hard freezes in November. The bulk of the
crop is borne in October. Plants are above medium to
tall, vigorous, upright, hardy, healthy, productive. Fruit
is large and uniform, maintaining size throughout the
season. Roundish conic in shape, cavity of medium size,
smooth light bloom, color medium red. Juicy, tender,
mild sub-acid, good.

V/

for commercial planting. It is absolutely hardy. It can-

not be surpassed in productiveness. Due to its rich

a delightful table berry and almost perfect for can-

exceptionally well suited for shipping to distant
markets. It ripens evenly over a long season.

\’ TAYLOR (Red)

This beautiful berry should have the consideration of
every commercial raspberry grower.

The plants are vigorous, hardy, productive, tall grow-
ing and make new plants rapidly. Sturdy canes hold
the berries well off the ground. Berries ripen shortly
before Latham, are large, long conic, bright attractive
red, thick fleshed, very firm, sub-acid and of excellent
quality, being superior to Latham. The berries do not
cling to the bush and carry well to markets.

HILTON (Red)

The largest of all red raspberries grows on vigorous

and commercial planting.

of the important factors in its ability to withstand low
temperatures.

The color is bright red but turns dark red on ripen-

igh, vigorous and beautiful. Stems are slender but
turdy. The winter color of the young wood is a rich
ed. The large berries are of a fine blue color. Planted
sxtensively for commercial fruit production.

JERSEY The bush is vigorous and large. The winter
so}or of the young growth is a light red over a gold-

own. Berries are the largest of any here listed, of a
very light color, and ripen at the same time.as Rubel.

BERKELEY Fruit is light blue. Considered one of the
largest blueberries yet introduced. Berries are not sub-
ject to crack, ripen about a week after Stanley. Plants
are very productive.

BURLINGTON The picking quality of Burlington is
superior because of complete separation of berry from
stem. It ripens later than Jersey or Rubel. Fruit is
above average dessert quality. The bush is erect,
vigorous and healthy. Berries are a good blue color,
medium to large, and hold up in size to the end of
the season.

HERBERT Fruit clusters are loose: fruit ripens about
the same time as Jersey and Dixi, earlier than Coville
but later than Berkeley. Berries of Herbert are large
and carry their size well through ripening season. Firm,
resistant to cracking; color about the same as Jersey,
Rubel and Dixi. Flavor is equal to the best varieties.
Fruié hangs well on bush. Bushes flower late, are thrifty
growers and consistently productive.

~OVILLE Selected to give larger berries of good
quality and color. Ripening after Dixi, Rubel and
Jersey, Coville is rated as our latest blueberry. Large,
zood blue color, good quality. Hangs well to clusters

ONE OF THE VERY GOOD MIDSEASON BERRIES

A vigorous grower, somewhat frost resistant and ex-
tremely productive. It has proven itself for many years
and is recognized as one of the best midseason berries in
cultivation. The foliage is healthy in this latitude. It
is a good plant maker and very productive. The berries
are large and of good quality. We recommend Virus
Free plants of this fine variety for this and more
northern areas. Catskill is the Number One midseason
variety for the Northeast.

“ EMPIRE

Heavy Bearer—Frost Resistant

Empire is a medium early, outstanding berry for the
middle and northern berry-producing areas. It is beauti-
ful—larger than Premier, firmer, better carrier, more
attractive and a higher yielder than Premier. Empire has
always been a vigorous grower. Virus free stocks make it
even easier to get good fruiting beds. The high yields of
large, glossy red fruit are making this fine berry very
popular in the Premier growing sections of the country

BEAUTY—PRODUCTIVITY—LARGE SIZE
RED STELE RESISTANCE

Redglow is one of our best-looking strawberries. The
fruit ripens in early midseason and is large, beautiful,
brilliant red, and delicious. The berries hold their size
throughout the season and are fairly firm. They are
good for freezing and fresh market sales.

Plants of Redglow are vigorous, productive, and re-
sistant to the common type of red stele. This is a real
good variety for the middle states area and should be
planted in rich, moist soil. It ripens one or two days
later than Earlidawn.

uniform in shape. Flavor is tart and good. Yields have
run over 9000 quarts per acre of good, large, firm berries.

A new everbearing kind that produces large volumes

long from this fine variety. Yields have exceeded 12,000
quarts per acre in test plots. Try them.

V SUPERFECTION

It’s beautiful ... it’s heavy bearing... it’s “good

varieties. Harvest large, red, mouth-watering fruits just
90 days after planting. The plants are vigorous. adapt
themselves to a wide range of soils and weather con-

/ EARLIDAWN a>

EARLINESS—FREEZING QUALITY—HIGH YIELDS

Ripening five days before Blakemore and Premier,
EARLIDAWN is the earliest of all the good, commer-
cial strawberry varieties. 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 EARLIDAWN have been outstanding in all
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, production is still
quite high for such an early berry.

v ROBINSON

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 leading varieties.

Plants of the Robinson variety are very vigorous,
almost always making good picking beds under extreme
circumstances. Robinson actually does better in dry sea-
sons than in wet ones because of the tendency to over-
produce plants. The berries also hold up better under
dry conditions. NH

FAIRFAX

Queen of the Table Berries

Fairfax ripens about the same time as Premier, and
its fruiting season extends over a long period. The
quality Fairfax is equal to the best. Berries are large
to very large, of a bright red color at picking time.
Turns dark after being picked for several days but re-
tains its flavor and firmness.

V SPARKLE
A Very Heavy Producer
GOOD FOR FREEZING, TOO

Sparkle is a prolific plant maker with good healthy
foliage, and very productive. Berries are medium size,
uniform in shape and have a bright red color, turning
somewhat dark on fruits that are over-ripe. The quality
of the berry is excellent. Ripens midseason, being a little
later than Premier. Requires good moisture for best
results. Sparkle is grown extensively in New Jersey,
eastern Pennsylvania, New York and New England
States.

ae VA MIDLAND

. . The Flavor King

Beauty . . . Size . . . Productivity .

Midland from Virus Free Stocks is 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, thanks to the increased vigor of
Vigor Free Stocks. Midland will now make good beds
of large vigorous plants.

Berries are early, ripening with Premier and Blake-
more, and as productive as either, averaging somewhat
larger in size. The flavor compares favorably with Fair-
fax, known generally as our highest quality berry.
Freezing tests show Midland to be one of the best for
either 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.

POCAHONTAS

The Three-Way Strawberry

FRESH MARKET ... CANNED...

FROZEN PACK

Outstanding . Wonderful . . . My Best Money
Maker ... These are the words used by many of our
customers to describe the way they feel about this
great berry. Since its release by the U.S.D.A., Pocahontas
has climbed to the top of the ladder as a commercial
favorite. Time after time it has outyielded all other
kinds from the Carolinas to New York and as far west
as Ohio and Arkansas. Its extra high vigor gives Poca-
hontas good picking beds even under adverse conditions.

Yields of Pocahontas often are more than 10,000
quarts of large, beautiful, high quality berries. They
have brought high profits on fresh markets everywhere.
Pocahontas has been accepted by the processors as an
outstanding berry for canning and freezing.

The berries are a bright, glossy red, firm, somewhat
conic in shape, and not as tart as Blakemore. Poca-
hontas ripens about a week later than Blakemore.

TENNESSEE BEAUTY

Tennessee Beauty is/ being grown in nearly every
eastern and midwestern berry section with the same
results ... LARGE YIELDS AND HIGH PROFITS.
Berries of Tennessee Beauty are large (size holds well
throughout entire season), firm, and outstanding ship-
pers. They are a bright glossy red, holding well with-
out changing color. Tennessee Beauties are of high
quality and in demand for processing and freezing as
well as for use on fresh markets. They ripen late mid-
season to late, and are sure croppers.

Plants are vigorous and free plant makers, always
assuring good picking beds of large stocky crowns.
Tennessee Beauty can be grown on a wide variety of
soils with good results. We recommend it as a sure
profit-maker in most all southern, eastern, northern,
and midwestern producing areas.

Y VESPER

he (NJ 157)

This fine new berry is the result of a cross of Utah
Shippers and Jerseybelle which ripens later than 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 selec-
tions tested at New Brunswick. It is a good plant maker
but is not resistant to red stele or verticillium wilt. It
appears that Vesper will do well and should be tried in
areas where Jerseybelle is successful.

~ REDSTAR

Our Very Best Late Berry

A sure bet to continue the good strawberry season. Its
large, flavorful berries are certain to make a hit with
your customers and family. They ripen a week to ten
days after other berries are gone—so late that they are
seldom hit by frost, and annual crops are a certainty.
The first berries are very large and wedge shaped. Later
ones are mostly conic. Flavor is delightfully good for
such a late berry. The bright red color is quite attrac-
tive and darkens, little on holding.

JERSEYBELLE

Virus Free Vigor and Rich Market Quality

ie Jerseybelle has brought the highest prices paid for

strawberries anywhere since its introduction a few years
ago. Jerseybelle has risen to prominence as a highly
profitable late midseason berry for growers of New
Jersey and Long Island. The berries are bright orange-
red, glossy and firm, turning slightly darker upon hold-
ing. Jerseybelle has been found best for moderately
close and local markets.

Plants make good growth on rich, moist soils and give
good picking beds of large, stocky crowns. However,
they are not nearly as vigorous as Sparkle, Catskill or
Pocahontas. We recommend Jerseybelle for trial in
most eastern areas. It has not been found to be very
adaptable to midwestern growing conditions where
observed.

Our Best Disease Resistant Varieties
<= ~~ SUNRISE |

Resistant to Red Stele and Verticillium Wilt
}

Early . . . Vigorous . . . Productiv )

Sunrise is a new early berry with caultiss eee
to red stele. It was released by U.S.D.A. and the Univ. —
of Maryland and is the result of a cross of US 4152 and
Stelemaster.

Berries are medium in size, have a glossy surface, and
a light, bright red color. They retain an attractive
appearance long after picking. The berries are conic
shaped, and have good dessert quality. Flesh is firm, pale
pink in color, but not dark enough for good frozen pack
appearance.

Plants of Sunrise produce runners freely, are very
vigorous, and highly resistant to four races of red stele
and partially resistant to a fifth race. They are also
resistant to Verticillium wilt. Leaves are resistant to
leaf scorch and mildew, but quite susceptible to leaf
spot.

Sunrise ripens with Earlidawn at. Beltsville, but is
some later at mid-west test blocks. Yields have been
good to very good in trial blocks in the eastern USS.
We suggest Sunrise be tried wherever red stele and

J SU RE C RO Pp Verticillium wilt occur.

MULTIPLE RESISTANCE TO RED STELE—FINE FLAVOR
VERY HEAVY PLANT PRODUCER
Excellent Size . . . Good Yields . . . High Prices >

SURECROP is a really fine new strawberry variety
wherever grown, from Pennsylvania 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. 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 Stele-
master.

A very vigorous plant maker and producer, rivaling
such varieties as Pocahontas and Robinson as the best
bed makers of all strawberry varieties. Coupled with
STELEMASTER as a fine early berry, SURECROP
as a midseason berry will deliver a MONEY-MAKING,

stele resistant replacement for Temple and Fairland,
neither of which has virus free stock available.

Midway ripens in midseason, about with Temple. The
berries are medium to large size, have a uniform deep
red color with a glossy surface, firm skin and yellow
seeds. The flesh is firm. Berries are irregular conic
shape but have good dessert quality and have stood up
well in the frozen pack.

Plants of Midway are vigorous, highly productive, and
resistant to the common race of red stele. The leaves
are somewhat susceptible to leaf scorch and leaf spot.

Growers report 1967 crops of Midway were excellent
in yield, color, size. Buyers paid high prices for fruit
because it carried long distances with a minimum of loss.
