THE past five or ten years have witnessed an unusual development of the traffic inpeaches, and an enormous production, sufficient to astonish those accustomed to mode-rate figures. During the last peach season the fruit trains from Delaware often exceededone hundred cars daily, each car holding 500 baskets of f of a peck, while the total pro-duction of the entire Delaware Peninsula reached over 3,000,000 baskets. At such a time,when the interest in peaches is most intense, a book on Peach Culture is very opportuneand serviceable. The present volume is edited by James Alexander Fulton, of Dover,Delaware, a large owner of peach orchards, and located in the very centre of the best peachproducing region of the State. His opportunities for observation have been unusuallyfavorable, while his experience insures to the book the best possible element of practicalworth. It contains 190 pages
