A large, showy, oblong peach, often growing to the largest 
size, and a very hardy tree, but the quality of the fruit is only 
second rate. This sort, which is a native of New-England, is 
vigorous, and bears largé crops. It is quite distinct from the 
celebrated Heath Cling. :

La Granaz. 
‘The La Grange is a white freestone peach, of very late matu 
rity, large size, and fine flavour. It was originated from seed 
five or six years ago in the garden of Mr. John Hulse, Burling- 
ton, New-Jersey. ; mn 
Its late period of inaturity, its colour, its productiveness, and 
size, have already given it quite a. reputation among the exten- 
sive geowers of New-Jersey, and it is undoubtedly a most valua- 
ble fruit, not only for the table but for preserving at the most 
desirable period for this purpose, late in the season. It was 
first brought into notice and disseminated by Mr, Thomas Han- 
cock, 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large, oblong, shaped

melting, very rich, sweet, high-flavoured, ‘and delicious. [ast ~
