THE SUBSCRIBERS again offer TO the
J. lovers of the beautiful aud 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
I uit., 1t has few, II any superiors. The
fr 'it IL very ornament tai being above me
dium size, OF d golden yellow color. with
u rich mottled carmine cheek. The leaves
. mach to its beauty, beng very large,
G osely ret, of a deep greea color. and
hang on longer than any other Peach
leaves. 1t ripens it's fruit in September,
attains q growth Of from four to five feet,
the original being but 28 inches in height
W hen tour years old. The buds are SO
close together that one OF these little trees,
loaded with fruit, would almost remind
the behoder Of an immense bunch o. very
large grapes. The idea that naturally
sugge itself is, that this is an ordinary
Peach dwarted; but that is not the ease; it
10 IL distinct variety with dwarf habit,
and is not rickly Ike tho common Peuch.
This tree will be Invaluable in the ex-
IRENE North, III il is small and can gbs
protected from the frost By covering, or
planting In u box aud setting in during
the cold season II will also be quite an
acquisition to the orchard house.
1t originated about The year 1855 with
j. VAN BUREN, an eminent pdmologist of
Georgia, and is supposed Ivy him to be IN
accidental cross bet"e the ltpia Dwarf
aud Van Zandt's superb. In the fall OF
1859, DR. j. X. Evans OF Chester County,
Pennsylvania, succeededin getting few
stumps OF trees, with The pl-dge t"ar he
would not part with any buds bsiore 1861,
us Mr.. VAN BUREN intended introducing
the tree; but the war thwarsed his pans.
The DR.. has put the buds INTO our hands
and we are now successfully engagedin
it. With the consent Of the
DR.. We refer you to tho following from Ms
pen:
The tree, Whit there is Of it, is a per-
feet beauty. The foliage contrasts strongly
with that Of any other peach tree, being
always large, aud of rich dark green,
and so dense that not u ray Of light can
traverse the head in any direction. 1t is
u dwarf in nothing but wood. Its buds
IRE crowded together, and T. tree three or
tour years old will produce as many of
them as any other kind of peach tree, and
It's branches will sustain and perfect all
he fruit that can possibly be strung upon
anu SuCl lIuIt! III CpiDT IL is u
GOLDEN yellow, unlike any other peach
have ever reen, and the cheek W hich covers
nearly half il, is OF the richest carmre;
ind, all in all am iree@to declare, with
'ut fear OF contradiction, that the orient
;annot supply shrub, or tree, W tich is
hardy, that Will be more highly esteemed
IS An ornament, and lew peaches will sur
PASS it in flavor"
Among the many favorable accounts
.iyen by the press, is the following from
he American Agriculturist, Septem Der,
$50: 5uai
This is comparatively new varietyzof
each, that is u natural dwarf growing,
'nly A or 5 feet highr- The trees we have
cen, have remarkably compact habit
nd very healthy foliage. We have not
cen the ripe fruit, but have seen it when
early fu grown. ...... Peaches have OF
ale years been such ii precarious crop as
o discourage their cultivation IN most
faces. The Golden Dwarf may prove to
e the founder OF a race OF peaches OF such
tumble stature, that they may be pro-
ected as easily Us raspberry bushes, and
aus allow peaches to be raised in localities
here it is not now practicable.p
