REID'S NURSERIES, BRIDGEPORT, OHIO SOME PROMISING NEW PEACHES PEACHES. The Peach tree requires a well-drained, moderately rich soil ; a warm, sandy loam is probably best. To preserve the continued healthy growth of the trees and the fine quality of the fruit, the trees should have the shoots and branches shortened every year, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head, with plenty of young wood; and the land should not be seeded to grass, but kept in constant cultivation in hoed crops. Unleached wood ashes and pure ground bone are the best fertilizers.

Plump, healthy Peach trees are best, even if small, for extensive planting. THE BEST NEW SORTS. The list below gives descriptions of the newer varieties all of which are of great promise, and likely to result in extending the time of ripening of this Lorentz Peach. (Half natural size. LORENTZ. A seedling discovered in Marshall county, W. Va., and which we carefully watched several years before deciding to offer it to the public. We are now more than ever con- vinced that this is something better than has ever been offered for a Peach so late in the season. We have never known it to fail a crop in the most adverse seasons, and believe it as near frost-proof as any variety yet introduced. It bears crops when others fail entirely. Fruit is unusually large and of a superior flavor, especially for one so late in the season. It is a freestone, yellow- fleshed, and its handsome appearance has been a surprise to all who have seen it. It bears enormously; one foot of wood cut for photographing had as many as 25 Peaches on it. The Peaches frequently require thinn
