CRAWFORD'S XATE MELOCOTON PEACH. 



Synonymes — CrauiforcTs Late; CrawfonCs Sitperb. 



This peach originated in Middletown, New Jersey, 

 a few years since, and it is now cultivated in most 

 parts of tlie country where the peach flourishes. In 

 some sections it is cultivated very extensively, and 

 is among the finest late peaches for the market. 



The fr\nt is very large ; roundish-oval, with a 

 shallow, but distinct suture ; yellow surface, with a 

 broad, dark-red cheek ; flesh deep yellow, red at the 

 stone, melting, juicy, rich vinous flavor. Freestone. 

 In New I'aigland it ripens late in September, and 

 early in October, and in cool locations and unfavor- 

 able seasons it is too late to come to perfection. The 

 tree is hardy, vigorous, and productive. Globose 

 glands. Small flowers. 



This peach is sent in largo quantities to this mar- 

 ket from New Jersey. It ripens in that state about 

 the time of the Early Crawford in this region. These 

 two varieties are among the most valuable kinds cul- 

 tivated in the country. 



CORN FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. 



The State Board of Agriculture are making up a 

 collection of samples of Indian corn for the World's 

 Fair; and we invite farmers, who have handsome 

 samples, to bring or -end to our office, say half a 

 dozen cars of each distinct kind, with the husk on, 

 if convenient ; also as many full-grown stalks with 

 ears on, cut \ip before over-ripe. The iiami^s of the 

 growers will be aflixed to samples sent. — O/iio Cul- 

 tivator. 



It is said that a small piece of resin, dipped in the 

 water which is placed in a vessel on the stove, will 

 add a peculiar projicrty to the atmosphere of the 

 room, which will s^ive groat relief to persons troubled 

 with a cough. The heat of the water is sufficient to 

 throw off" the aroma of the resin, and gives the same 

 relief as is afl'orded by a combustion of the resin. It 

 is preferable to combustion, because the evaporation 

 is more durable. The same resin may be used for 

 weeks.
