Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productivity
PEACH Tree-
SUMMERCREST — NJ. 94 (llo) A large, oval free-
stone peach of fine quality, ripening with Belle of
Georgia. The flesh is deep golden yellow, melting and
sweet. Tree is exceptionally vigorous, and as hardy as
J. H. Hale. It is adapted to regions having a climate
similar to central and southern New Jersey.
BELLE OF GEORGIA (llb) 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
hite peaches are judged.
'POLLY (lie) 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
a rich red blush. Recommended to all growers who
wish an exceptional white peach in Elberta
HALE HARRISON (lld) U. S. Plant Patent No.
814. We offer this fine peach, often called Hale Harri-
son Brilliant or just Brilhant, 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.
Price for Hale Harrison trees is 10c more per tree than
for 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
pla^ntings in this season up-to-date with Redskin?
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
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
cixSss-pollination for best results.
■ WHITE HALE NJ. 63 (12d) A large white-flesh-
ed freestone of good quality, ripening with J. H. Hale.
Tre/ is vigorous. A fine white-fleshed peach to follow
Bdle of Georgia.
v\
JERSEYQUEEN (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 the hard 1962-63 winter.
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
oblem.
AFTERGLOW — NJ. 84 (Ua) Ripens three to five
days after Elberta. Fruits are large, round-oval in shape,
and almost completely overspread with red. The flesh
is yellow stained with red about the pit, and is free.
The trees are vigorous and rapid growers. Fruit buds
appear more hardy than J. H. Hale.
