A native of New Jersey, well adapted to the South, where the tree grows vigorously and healthily, and produces the very finest crops. As I never had occasion to taste it in New Jersey, I can only give the result of my experience in South Carolina and Georgia. In the specimen garden of W. N. White, our eminent southern pomologist, in Athens, Georgia, I had occasion to see one of the finest trees of this variety, loaded with a splendid crop of large peaches. It proved to be a most luscious, as it is a most beautiful fruit Some found it not highly enough flavored, which is not surprising in a land where so many of the very best peaches are common, and where every taste can be gratified by different flavors and aromas. But, on the whole, 1 found it a most desirable fruit, and well deserving a special attention. Its size, shape, color and fertility, are high recommendations enough, even if the fruit were not first quality, but that is not the case. I found it equal to any of our best varieties. Fruit round, obovate, regular in shape; highly colored, and melting; skin woolly, pealing easily; stone rather small and free; ripe, end of July, in Georgia. L. E. Bbrckmans.
