SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIMENT STATION, LEAMINGTON, ONTARIO. My attention was attracted some years ago to the Peach Tree, now named BANNER, growing on the place of Mr. John Murray, "Woodslee, Ont., and I have watched the great success of this promising peach with more than usual personal interest About six years ago I obtained a few buds from the original tree and raised three trees, which I planted on the experimental grounds, (under restriction of propogation.) These trees began to bear after two years. THE TREE IS A VERY HARDY VA RIETY, THRIFTY, HEALTHY GROWER, AND FREE FROM CURL LEAF, It is very productive. The fruit is of large size and can be com- pared with the celebrated New Prolific in quality, richness of flavor, and beautiful appearance, except that it ripens later The flesh is firm and I consider it one of the best shippers for long distances I know of no other varietv ripening at the same time or later of as good quality and fine ap- pearance IT IS IN EVERY RESPECT SUPERIOR TO THE CRAWFORD VARIETIES OR TRE ELBERTA I AM CONVINCED THAT IT WILL BE PLANTED VERY LARGELY IF NOT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FUTURE AS A LATE PEACH W W HILBORN, Manager South Western Experiment Station, Leamington, Ontario.. A SURPRISE TO ME AND MANY OTHERS. I take great pleasure in giving mv opinion of the BANNER peach WHICH I HAVE JUDGED AT AGRICULTURAL FAIRS FOR MANY YEARS. Whe
