hardiness of the tree make it 
valuable in colder climates.

by the winter. It is stated tliat the original 
tree stood the hard winter of i8S,S unpro- 
tected, when the mercury registered 42 de- 
grees below zero, and bore a fair crop the 
following season. The wood resembles some- 
what that of the plum, while the flesh of the 
fruit is that of the Peach, with the shipping 
qualities of the prune. This Peacli must 
prove of great value in the North, where 
or.linary varieties cannot be grown.
