PEACH BRAND
VERY IMPORTANT

The following article by G. Hale
Harrison, of the Harrison Nurseries,
gives some valuable information con-
corning the commercial value of a
peach brand. Growers would do we'll
to take notice:
Commercially speaking, Elberta just
about ends the peach deal each year,
consequently growers for several gen.
erations have been anxiously looking
for a late ripening, yellow, freestone
peach of large size, high red color
and giod flavor to extend their ship
ping season, and have eventually
found it in the newly discovered Rio
Oso-Gem. This new variety has been
awarded, Plant Patent No. 81 of the
United States Patent Office.
The -Oso-Gem would be peach
of commercial Importance when ripen-
ing at any time during the peach seas
on, but it is very foltunate that it rip
ems two weeks later than Elberta,
which puts it at time when there is
no other variety of commercial i'm
portance as competitor and fills a
long looked-for gap in commercial
production, ripening when the markets
are clamoring for peaches-this var
iety has sold at higher prices than FL

The Rio-O so-Gem is a perfect free
stone, form is globular, slightly elon-
gated, of extremely large size, aver
aging in diameter from 2 ga to 8
S-4 inches, being the worlds largest
peach, deep yellow flesh, very fine
grain, firm texture with very excel

and slightly spicy. The coloring is
unique, being a beautiful dark Grim

and into a rich mottle of crimson over
the orange-yellow ground color. It is
a good transcontinental shipper.

Twins Always Attract.

THESE Rideouts hold your eye,
Twins always do. People wonder
II the special affinity" believed to ex-
list between twins affects their run
ming. Well, one without the other
would certainly need new strategy.
Blaine Rideout "outruns" and runs
out" rivals early, leaving Wayne to
come on and win, as they did in
''teaming" and "twinning" Don Lash,
world record holder, in the Sugar
Bowl games at New Orleans. But two
devoted teammates might work the
trick if as fast as the Rideouts.
Not all brothers work for each other
I've known them to run dead heats
and race each other until their eyes
popped.
Alex Grant, former national l, 2
and mile champion and now a
professor at Episcopal Academy, Phila-
delphia, ran a dead heat with his
brother Dick of Harvard in the 1899
nationals at the old Riverside track il
Boston.
Before I cite the next dead heat,
and by twins at that, I'll mention
those famed Firms, Willie and Hannes
Kolehmainen, distance champions.
Willie holds the world pro marathon
record, 2:28.30. kid" brother Hannes
won three Olympic titles in 1912 at
Stockholm and was still good enough
eight years later to take the marathon
at Antwerp, where one of the Shields

The Philadelphian has won five of

What a veal potpie was to
Paavo Nurmi a pork dinner was
to Miklos Szabo, star Hungarian
runner who made his American
debut at Boston last Saturday.
Choc Sportsman, coach Of the
Texas rideout twins. revealed the
incident which paralleled the
famous Nurmi mistake Of dozen
years ago. Nurmi's veal potpie,
consumed before an important
5,000-meter race here in 1925,
caused him to collapse and suffer
his only defeat Of an American
tour at the hands of Willie Ritola.
Saturday Szabo partook literally
of pork and gravy some three
hours before starting 2-mile race
at Boston. When Don Lash
crossed the finish line in world
record time the Hungarian was
nowhere to be seen. Sportsman
and those who heard him agreed
the dinner may explain his poor
showing.
