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,

hard for best size.

650 chilling hours. Fruit is medium size, yellow fleshed,
with good flavor. A light red blush covers about half
the skin over a yellow ground. Trees are vigorous and
productive. Maygold ripens with Redcap and is recom-
mended for areas where temperatures averaging below

bles Dixired very much. A clingstone, medium size,

Another Bountiful Ridge First
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 in-
dustry, Bountiful Ridge is pleased to offer "At No
Extra Cost," peach trees grown from budivood that has
been heat treated to insure its "Freedom From Virus
Disease." Our trees are being grovon m,any 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 believe 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
soik, 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
