GOLDEN DWARF PEACH.

NOA6Elv wv nau ! InOlli
THE SUBSCRIBERS again offer to tho
l. lovers Of the beautiful and the lu5-
cious, we'll grown trees OF VAN BUREN'S
GOLDEN DWARF PEACH. Thore is
nothing of its size more beautiful IL is
prodigiously prolific, aud III quality of
fruit, it has few, if any superiors. The
frnit is very ornamental, being above me-
dunn size, Of golden yellow color, with
rich notified carmine check. The leaves
add much to its beauty, beng very large,
closely set, of deep green color, and
hang on longer than any other Peach
leaves. 1t ripens its fruit in September,
attains a growth of from four to five feet,
the original being but q inches in height
when four years old. The buds are so
close together that one Of these little trees
loaded with fruit, would almost remind
the beholder Of an immense bunch oil very
large grapes. The idea that naturally
suggests itself il, that this is an ordinary
Peach dwarfed; but that is not the case; il
is u distinct variety with a dwarf habit
and is not sickly like the common Peach.
This tree will be in liable in the eX
treme North, az IL is small and can be
protected from the frost by covering, or
planting in box aud setting in during
acquisition to the orchard house
1t originated about the year 1856 with
j. VAN BUHEN, au eminent pomologist Of
Georgia, and is supposed by him to be an
accidental cross between The Italian Dwarf
and Van Zandt's Superb. In the fall Of
1859, DR.. j. 4. Evans Of Chester County,
Pennsylvania, succeeded in getting a few
stumps Of trees, with the pledge tnat he
would not part with any buds before 1861,
as Mr.. VAN BUREN intended Introducing
the tree; but the war thWarted his pans.
The DR.. has put the buds INTO our hands
and we are now successfully engaged in
introducing it, With the consent OF The
DR.. we refer you to the following from his
pen
1.-The tree, what there il Of it, il per
feet beauty. The foliage contrasts strongly
with that Of any other peach tree, being
always large, and Of rich dark green,
and 80 dense that not u ray Of light can
traverse the head in any direction 1t is
a dwarf in nothing but wood. Its buds
are crowded together, and a tree three Or
four years old will produce many of
them as any other kind of peach tree, ard
its branches will sustain and perfect all
the fruit that can possibly be strung upon
them. And snch fruit In color 1T is n
golden yellow, unlike any other peach !
have ever seen and the check which covers
nearly haif OF If, Is OF Tie richest carmne;
and, ali in all J ara Tree TO declare, With
out fear Of contradiction, that the orient
cannot supply shrub, or tree, which j.
hardy, that vail be more highly esteemed
IA an ornament, and few peaches will eur~
pass it in tiav0ro
Among the many favorable accounts
given by the press, Is the following from
the American Agrien turI@t, SePtcm ter,
1866
This is comparatively new variety OF
Peach, that j. nHtnral dwarf growing,
only or feet nigh. The trees We have
seen, have d remarkably compact habit
and very healthy tollage. We have not
seen the ripe fruit, but have seen IL when
nearly full grown...., Peaches have OF
late years been such IA precarioRs crop a.
to discourage their cultivation IN most
places. The Golden Dwarf may prove t.
be the founder OF race of peaches OF such
humble stature, that they may be pro
footed rs easily us raspberry bushes, and
thus allow pouches 10 he raised in IoGa,iirr
where it is not now practicable"
Frederick Setz, Esq, of Easton, Pa,
exhibited specimens of this tree at the
State exhibition last fall, loaded with fruit;
trees that he hal purchased Of us two years
previous. Our stock Will be the best we
have over offered They stand apart in
the rows, giving them chance to become
limby and form nice shape, 80 that they
will all be extra fine.
