The Peach is universally regarded as the most delicious fruit of our climate, and it is nowhere produced in such great abundance, and with as little labor as in this country. It succeeds best on sandy and clay loams in elevated locations. Peach trees should be planted when of one season's growth from the bud.

The trees should be kept clear of all useless growth ; the top and side branches should be occasionally shortened in so as to give a vigorous growth, and form a compact head. The trees should receive about the same cultivation as a crop of corn or potatoes. V FIRST RIPENING. Alexander.
