SECTION X.— PEACHES. 



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

 ■serving it in a nearly fresh condition, we have generally omitted to give values in the column headed 

 "cooking." Throughout Central Michigan, except in favorable localitiep, occasional severe winters 

 prove fatal to the fruit buds of the peach, and sometimes even to the trees. These facts can not be 

 properly expressed in the starring, and hence are disregarded.
