GOLDEN DWARF PEACH.

THE SUBSCRIBERS again offer to the
l. lovers OF the beautiful and the lu.-
cious, we'll grown trees Of VAN BUkEN'S
GOLDEN DWARF PEACH There is
nothing OF it's size more beautiful. 1t is
prodigiously prolific, and IN quality Of
fruit, 1t has few, if any superiors. The
fruit is very ornamental being above mo-
dunn size, of golden yellow color. with
rich notified carmine cheek The leaves
add much to it's beauty, beng very large,
closely set, Of deep green color. and
hang on longer than any other Peach
leaves. 1t ripens its fruit in Septem Der,
attains growth of from four to five feet,
the original being but % inches in height
when four years old. The buds are 50
close together that one Of these little trees,
loaded with fruit. would almost remind
the beholder Of an immense bunch Of very
large grapes. The idep that naturally
suggests itself is, that this is an ordinary
Peach dwarfed; but that is not the case; it
is u distinct variety with dwarf habit,
and is not sickly like the common Peach.
This tree will be in valuable IN the ex-
treme North, rs it is small and can be
protected from the frost by covering, or
planting in box aud setting IN during
the cold season II will also be qultc an
acquisition to the orchard house.
1t originated about the year 1856 with
j. VAN BuREN, an eminent pomologist OF
Georgia, and il supposed by him to be an
accidental cross between the Italian Dwarf
and Van Zandts Superb. 10 the fall OF
1859, DIR. j. K. Evans OF Chester County,
Pennsylvania, succeeded ID getting few
stumus of trees, with the pledge taat he
would not part with any buds before 1861,
M Mr. VAN BUREN intended introducing
the tree; but the war thwarted hle pans.
The DR.. has put the buds INTO OR hands
and we are now successfully engaged ii
introducing it. With the consent OF The
Dir. we refer you to the following from his
pen /:
THE tree, what there is 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 30 dense that not ray Of light can
traverse the head in any direction. ~ j.
dwarf in nothing but wood. Its buds
are crowded together, and o tree three or
four years old will produce as many of
them Us any other kind Of peach tree, and
it's branches will sustain and perfect all
the fruit that can possibly be strung upon
them. Aud such fruit! Ia color II is
golden yellow, unlike any other peach
nearly half oft, is OF the richest carmine:
and. all in all, ! ana tree to declare, with
ont fear of contradiction THAT the orient
cannot supply shrub, or a tree, which.is
hardy, thut WI. be more highly esteemed
AZ an ornament. and lew peaches viii sur
pass it in flavor"
Among the many favorable accounts
gwen by the press is the following from
the American AgficuItAtlst Septem her,
1866 !:
This is Il comparatively new variety OF
Peach, that j. u natural dwarf growing,
only or ) feet high. The trees we have
seen, have d remarkably compact habit
and very healthy foliage. We have not
seen the ripe fruit, but have seen it wheu
nearly full grown. .... Peaches have oil
late years been such u ptecarious crop as
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 thoy may be pro
tected Us easily raspberry bushes, and
thus allow peaches to he raised in Ioc.t i-ier
where it is not nov plaeticable.s
