When Peach trees bear a good crop, they are quite as profitable as apples, or more so—and the demand for first-grade fruit is generally much greater than the supply. When planted in a congenial soil, and given the proper care, the trees live for many years, while fruit of high quality is assured if attention be given to spraying, thinning the fruit, etc. It has been our eft"ort for many years to select only the best varieties, and the following list represents such as we know to be strictly reliable in every way, and perfectly adapted to the soil and climate of the South. The seed from which we grow our stock is the best obtainable, coming from a section of our state where the dangerous disease "yellows" is unknown. We use buds from healthy trees, and are careful to keep our varieties unmixed, so that our patrons will get trees true to name. Our Peach trees "ripen up'' well in the nursery; they are healthy, hardy, and come into bearing early. Culture and Care of Peach Trees.—When possible, plant on the highest point on your premises, northern or northwestern exposure; plant 15 to 18 feet apart each way.
