has cultivated with much care and success. Last
year We made mention Of the fruit as "Lether-

many peach growers have examined it, and all
pronounce it the finest late peach yet grown. Mr..
L. plucked his last fruit on the 10Th inst and sent
ten specimens to the Pennsylvania Horticultural

was awarded the first premium. Some of these

much more juicy than the usual late varieties Of
peach, it ''stands up" finely, and keeps sound for
ten days after picking From the interest mani
tested in it by growers g,nerally, we deemed it
worthy OF mention.-Smy,na Times.
