NIAGARA PEACH. 
A new variety which is gaining a great 
reputation in Niagara County, where it is 
said to have originated. Peach growers in 
that county are planting largely of it. 1 at- 
tended to cutting our buds for this stock 
personally, at Mr. Woodward's orchard of 
this variety, near Lockport, N. Y. The fruit 
is very large, of fine t|uality and handsome 
appearance, a little later than Early Craw- 
ford, of which it is said to be a seedling. 
Tree has a remarkably healtliy appearance, 
and is said not to show any defect in foliage.

ford, fully equal in color. Fruit round, 
brilliant, showy; one of the earliest yellow
