The New Hope Farm Peach 



This Peach originated as a chance seedling* at 

 Hope Farm, in Bergen County, New Jersey. It has 

 long been our ambition at Hope Farm to give the 

 world some new fruit, good enough to be worthy of 

 carrying the name, and give comfort and pleasure 

 to the world long after we have passed out of it. 

 At the same time we have recognized the fact that 

 there are already too many fruit varieties in culti- 

 vation, and that only the very best of those which 

 possess superior qualities should ever be added to 

 the list. We should not think of presenting this 

 new candidate for favor unless we felt absolutely 

 sure it has superior merit. 



Six years ago (1919) when cleaning up the barn- 

 yard in the Fall, we found a small peach tree grow- 

 ing, as it seemed, out of a loose stone foundation 

 of a small building. Apparently some one had care- 

 lessly thrown the pit away. It had sprouted and 

 established itself by the side of this building. By 

 the merest accident it was not destroyed. It grew 

 in the most undesirable place that could well be 

 selected for a peach tree. 



The situation is cold and sunless, being densely 

 shaded by thick and tall shrubbery. The soil is 

 hard and unpromising, but the little tree grew 

 abundantly under these hard conditions. The next 

 year after discovery the tree showed a remarkable 

 vigor with strong, heavy foliage and quick growth. 

 This great vigor of growth is one of the strong 

 characteristics of the tree. In the nursery row it 

 appears to outstrip other varieties easily. The parent 

 tree stands in a place where cultivation is impos- 

 sible, yet it has developed into large size. At three 

 years it bore a few peaches, enough to show the 

 character of the fruit, and it has produced large 

 crops since then. 



In any remarks or pictures of this peach we desire 

 to be fully conservative and not make any statement 

 or appearance which is in any way exaggerated. In 

 color Hope Farm is a light yellow with a dark red 

 cheek. The flesh is white with a yellow tinge. It is 



a clean, freestone with a flavor which we consider 

 superior to Belle of Georgia. It is one of the best 

 shipping peaches, being firm and solid. We have 

 mailed specimens for long distances and given it a 

 fair trial. It has always stood the journey perfectly. 

 Its season of ripening is a week to ten days later 

 than Elberta, so that with its fine quality and at- 

 tractive appearance, it will fill a distinct place in the 

 peach season. In any section where the tree will 

 thrive Hope Farm may be recommended for its great 

 vigor and hardiness, its high quality and beauty, 

 and its late season of ripening. It will prove, as I 

 firmly believe, the most popular late peach of its 

 color and class, and it can be confidently recom- 

 mended to all those who are interested in new va- 

 rieties, or in profitable peach culture.
