yarieties, growing on the clay lands of the central portions of 

 our State, are almost worthless for fruit, but they have a won- 

 derful vigor of growth, and their leaves are dark green until 

 killed by the frost. Let such trees be cultivated for their pits 

 alone ; let these be used for nursery stocks, and let the bud be 

 inserted at the height at which the top should begin to form, 

 BO that the body of the tree shall be formed entirely of this 

 'vigorous wood, and I think we may soon bid farewell to the 



YelloM's in peaches.
