DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XTX. 



This is a photograph of a limb of the sprayed hah' of the tree shown in Pis. XVI 

 and XVII, after the removal of the leaves with pruning shears. A good idea <jf the 

 size and perfection of this fruit may be obtained from the plate. The color was 

 strikingly high and rich. The size of the fruit is further shown by the fact that the 

 peaches averaged 252 per 100 pounds. (See note on this work at the close of Chap- 

 ter VI, p. 122; also refer to Pl.«. XVI, XVII, and XVIII.)
