As the natural result of overproduction last year, the set of peaches the 

 present year has been very light. This result has doubtless been empha- 

 sized as the consequence of unusually unfavorable weather during the 

 season of blooming, and the prevalence of leaf curl during the setting of 

 the fruit. 



Under such conditions the result, as shown in the foregoing tabulation, 

 should be accepted as a more or less uncertain indication of the ability of 

 the varieties to withstand unfavorable influence rather than a trustworthy 

 evidence of their comparative value under average conditions. 



Of those tabulated, Advance, Early Red, La Fayette and Zea are recent 

 seedlings originated by C. Eagle of Paw Paw, Michigan, and first planter 

 here in April last. 



Of the fourteen varieties ranking in productiveness, as high as five in 

 the scale one to ten, only one, received from Missouri as Infant Wonder, 

 grades as high as eight to nine in quality. 



Toquin, a recent Michigan variety, from the town of that name, grades 

 as high as seven in quality. 



Barber, an Allegan county seedling; Late Barnard, origin unknown; 

 Lewis, from Allegan county, and Rivers, originating in England, range 

 from six to seven.
