The Review for September 2, page 46, 

 contains an interesting note regarding the 

 < 'hampion peach. This variety also flour- 

 ishes in the eastern part of New York 

 state. The Review's correspondent, last 

 Aveek, paid a visit to the peach orchard 

 of E. W. Barnes & Son, of Middle Hope, 

 a short drive out, where a splendid sight 

 was presented. Situated on rolling land 

 a short distance back from the noble 

 Hudson, and on the highest point in 

 Orange county, this orchard, comprising 

 twenty-five acres, is planted with two 

 varieties, Champion for early and El- 

 berta for late. At the time of writing 

 the Champion is in full crop and yield- 

 ing enormously — so Mell that the fortu- 

 nate owners figure that the returns being 

 received from the New York and Boston 

 markets will more than pay for tiic whole 

 farm. 



The trees are in their fourth year and 

 are perfectly healthy. Thev are planted 

 8x16 feet apart aiid 8,000 are in full 

 bearing — a grand sight. The proportion 

 of undersized fruit.s is remarkably small. 

 I never saw finer specimens. They equal 

 the choicest grown under glass or upon 

 walls. Next winter every other tree will 

 be taken out, to prevent crowding. Wher- 

 ever there are misses, apples are planted, 

 with a view to a future apple orchard.
