" Yesterday I visited Niagara County, the ban- ner fruit county of the Empire State, which is incidentally proud of the fact that Queen Victoria annually secures her private supply of apples there. " J. S. "Woodward, long known as Vice-President of the "Western New York Horticultural Society, and as director of farmers' institutes, expected to market 20,000 baskets of peaches, mostly of a new variety known as the Niagara, a large, yellow, freestone peach, supposed to be a seedling of Early Crawford, which will average much larger in size, equally as productive, of fine quality, ripening several days later than Early Crawford, with heavy, healthy foliage, and a much stronger grower. While prime peaches are selling at whole- sale in the Rochester market at low prices, J. S. Woodward informed me that he had just received word from a carload of Niagara peaches shipped to an eastern town, and that they received double the price for these Niagaras that they did for Crawford's ; Read below what Mr. Woodward said of the new peach at the last meeting of the "W. N. Y. Horticul- tural Society: "We have a peach which is, I understand, an accidental seedling of the Crawford. I wouldn't set a Crawford. You could not give them to me if I could get the peach I refer to. It is about one picking later than Crawford; averages a good deal better, better color, better leaf, and holds its size to the end of the season. You can't sell any other tree in that section if the variety I speak of can be obtained. It is called the'Niagara.'" Prof. Van Deman-" I have heard the Niagara spoken of in the highest terms. Those who have fruited it prefer it to any other, and think it even better than Elberta or Early ; Prices
