SECTION XII.— 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 columu 

 headed " cooking." Throughout Central Michigan, except in favorable localities, occasional severe 

 winters prove fatal to the fruit buds of the peach, and sometimes even to the trees. These facts 

 cannot be properly expressed in the starring, and hence are disregarded.
