GOLDEN DWARF PEACH.

oULUIV UVhNT LhUIli
THE SUBSCRIBERS again offer to the
y lovers of the beaut iful and the lus-
cious, well-grown trees Of VAN BUREN'S
GOLDEN DWARF PEACH. There is
nothing of its size more beautiful 1t is
prodigiously prolific, and in quality Of
fruit, 1t has few, If any superiors. The
fruits very ornamental, being above me-
dunn size, of golden yellow color, with
rich mottled carmine cheek. The leaves
add much to its beauty, being very large,
closely set, Of deep green color, and
hang on longer than any other Peach
leaves. 1t ripens its fruit in September,
attains q growth Of from four to Ave feet,
the original being but 20 inches in height
when four years old. The buds are 80
close together that one Of these little trees,
loaded with fruit, would almost remind
the behoider Of an immense bunch Of very
large grapes. The idea that naturally
suggests itself is, that this is an ordinary
Pesch dwarfed; but that 10 not the case; it
10 . distinct variety with dwarf habit,
and 10 not sickly like the common Peach.
This tree will be invaluable in the ex-
etfeme North, az IL Is small and can be
protected from the frost by covering, or
planting In box and setting in during
the cold season. 1t will also be quite an
acquisition to the orchard house.
It originated about the year 1856 with
j. VAN BuREs, an eminent pomologist Of
Georgia, and ID supposed by him to be an
accidental cross between the Italian Dwarf
and Van Zandt's Superb. In the fall OF
1889, DR.. j. T. Evans Of Chester County
Pennsylvania, succeeded in getting few
STUN % of trees, with the pledge That 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 MS
pen
"The tree, what there is of it, is per
feet beauty. The foliage contrasts strongly
with that Of any other peach tree, being
always large, and Of rich dark green !,
and so dense that not a ray of light can
traverse the head in any direction. " is
a dwarf IN nothing but wood. Its buds
are crowded together, and q tree three or
four years old will produce as many of
them a. any other kind of peach tree, and
its branches will sustain and perfect ali
the fruit that can possibly be strung upon
them. And such fruit In color 1t IL q
golden yellow, unlike any other peach !
have ever seen, and the cheek which covers
nearly half ofit, is of the richest carmine;
and, all in all, am free to declare, with
ont fesr OF contradiction, that the orient
cannot supply shrub, or tree, which is
hardy, that will be more highly esteemed
a. m ornament, and few peaches will sur
pass it in flavor"
Among the many favorable accounts
given by the press, is the following from
the American Agriculturist, Septem Der,
1866
"Thisis comparatively new variety OF
Peach, that is natural dwarf growing.
only or feet high. The trees we have
seen, have a remarkably compact habit
and very healthy foliage. We have not
seen the ripe fruit, but have seen it when
nearly full own. Peaches have OF
to discourage their cultivation in most
places. The Golden Dwarf may prove to
be the founder OF race OF peaches Of such
humble stature, that they may be pro-
tected % easily as raspberry bushes, and
thus allow peaches to be raised in localities
where 1t il not now practicable
