'Peaches. 



The peaches have done extra well this year. Only one tree died, and each one 



living has made a strong, healthy growth, and with a favourable season in 1892 we 



expect most of those planted in 1890 to fruit. 



There have been 31 varieties, 205 trees, added to our collection of peaches, 



making 116 varieties and 412 trees. 



In an account of trees planted on the bench will be found a list of the peach 



trees affected by curl leaf. The attack was not so severe this summer, either on 



the bench or in the valley, as in 1890. 



Below is a list of the names of the new peaches : — 



Chinese Cling, Columbia, 



William's Favourite, Scruggs, 



Miss Lolo, Gaylord, 



Mamie Eoss, ■ Crothers, 



Bishop, Walker, 



Eldred, Infant Wonder, 



Minnie, Levys Late, 



Amelia, Husted's Early, 



June Eose, Williamson's Choice, 



Family Favourite, Early Charlotte, 



Jennie Worthen, Mrs. Brett, 



Gen. Taylor, Gov. Briggs, 



Gen. Lee, Old Mixon, Cling, 



Sylphide, Bequett Free, 



Bequett Cling, Onderdonk, 



Orange Cling 

 The peach trees. Mountain Eose, Hilborn, Wager, Foster and Waterloo, 



blossomed and bore fruit. In most cases not more than two peaches were allowed 



to mature. 



The following is the order of their ripening : — Hilborn, 12th August ; Waterloo, 



25th August; Mountain Eose, 31st August; Foster, Ist September. 



Nectarines. 



No new varieties of nectarines have been added to the collection this season. 

 There are now in the orchard 12 varieties and 26 strong, healthy trees. Downton 

 and Early Violet were entirely free from curl leaf; all the others were affected a 

 little, but it did not appear to injure them for all have since made a vigorous growth.
