HILL'S SEEDLING PEACH. 



Sir, — I send herewith a sample of peach grown in 

 my garden at Orangeville, in the County of Dufferin, 

 <luring the present season. I also sepd a photograph 

 of a group of peaches, part of the crop of a dozen or 

 so taken from the same tree on the 8th instant. They 

 appear to me to have merit, not only as to size and 

 color, but as to flavor. The tree upon which they 

 were grown is a chance seedling growing about 

 twenty-five feet from the east side of my house, with- 

 out having had anj' protection or special care. It is 

 aVx)ut six years old, twelve feet high and some three 

 inches in diameter. This is the first year it has 

 fruited — some bloom last year did not mature to 

 fruit. I send you these particulars because of the 

 fact that the results have been obtained at a point 

 near the height of land in the central portion of 

 Ontario — over twelve hundred feet above the lake 

 level at Toronto. I would be pleased if you would 

 express some opinion upon the matter. Doubtless 

 in the Niagara section the varietj' might f)rove a 

 useful lute peach. 



Sir, — I have been reading your "English Horti 

 cultural Notes" with much interest, and thought you 

 would be interested in seeing a sample bf a large 

 apple,, the "Nancy Jackson," which grew on one of 

 my dwarf apple trees, purchased froKJ, Thos. Rivers 

 & Sons, of Sawbridgeshire, England. I have planted 

 my dwarfs 9x9, but in Bungards Nurserids, at 

 Maidstone, in Kent, I saw them planted 6x6 feet ; 

 they had been planted for twenty years and looked 

 beautifully healthy.
