PEACHES. Georgia Peaches are famed the world over for their size, beauty and exquisite juiciness and flavor. In order to produce such fruit, the soil and climate of Georgia must be very favorable to the growth and vigor of the tree. In growing the Peach, we use stones of natural fruit only, and this, with our very favorable soil and climate, enables us to produce trees which for health and vigor are absolutely unrivaled. Seedlings from budded fruit are by no means so vigorous as those from natural fruit, and are apt to be tainted with the "; The Peach will grow in almost any soil, provided it is well drained, but a sandy loam is most suitable. Early winter (November and December) is the best time to transplant, although it may be done with increased risk in the spring. Plant the same depth as the trees stood in the nursery, and firm the soil well around the roots. It is very important that the young tree should be properly- pruned at the time of planting. All side branches should be cut back to within a few inches of the main stem, and that cut at about two-thirds the height. Small trees should have the main stem cut back nearly one-balf the way from the ground. The after-culture is very simple, being merely to keep the surface always mellow and free from weeds. For the first two years after planting, hoed crops may be planted between the trees with advantage, after which time they require the entire strength of the s'oil. Grain crops of all kinds are very injurious, and Peaches seldom succeed in sod or grass. Unleached wood ashes and pure ground bone are the proper fertilizers for the Peach, and are best applied broadcast in the spring, and harrowed in. If wood ashes can
