SECTION X.— PEACHES. 



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

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

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

 the starring, and hence are disregarded.
