SECTION XII. -PEACHES. 



Since the peach is generally used in its fresh state, or for canning, which is only a mode of preserving 



in a nearly fresh condition, we have generally omitted to give values in the column headed " cooking." 



Throughout Central Michigan, except in favorable localities, occasional severe winters prove fatal to the 



fruit buds of the peach, and sometimes even to the trees. These facts cannot be properly expressed in the 



starring, and hence are disregarded.
