The Weekly Florists' Review, 



AUGUST 11, 1898. 



PEACHES IN GEORGIA. 



Mr. Z. K. Jewett, of Sparta, Wis., is 

 interested in one of tlie large peacli 

 orchards at Fort Valley, Ga., and has 

 just returned from a month's stay at 

 the orchard during the shipping sea- 

 son. 



He says that during the month of 

 July aso cars of peaches were shipped 

 from the Fort Valley station, and that' 

 350 cars were shipped from the neigh- 

 boring station of Marshalltown. The 

 peaches are packed in cases and 

 shipped in refrigerator cars. The cars 

 hold -KK) to 450 bushels of peaches 

 each. The cost of freight and ice to 

 Chicago is $225. The peach grown in 

 that section is almost exclusively the 

 Elberta, a variety that originated in 

 the locality. The Early Crawford was 

 tried there, but was a failure, though 

 so useful in other sections of the coun- 

 try. These orchards are on land on 

 wiiich cotton was formerly grown, but 

 has been practically exhausted and 

 which was purchased for ?lo an acre. 

 The orchards have proven an excellent 

 investment, and Mr.' Jewett believes 

 this will become one of the main 

 peach producing districts of the coun- 

 try. Labor is very cheap, the negro 

 pickers working for 50 cents a day. 



Quite a number of pecan and Eng- 

 lish walnut trees are now being plant- 

 ed, also Japan plums, and it is believed 

 they will do as well as the peaches 

 have done. 



ROCHESTER. N. Y. 



Vick & Hill Co. have thirteen acres 

 planted out, for instance an item of 

 fourteen thousand anemones alone 

 gives one some idea of the quantity of 

 stock necessary to supply their ship- 

 ping trade. 



Stem rot has appeared in carnations 

 and the outlook at present is quite 

 discouraging. They have a beautiful 

 aster named Daybreak, the color of 

 carnation Daybreak, which will be In 

 much demand when known, 



F. Schlegel's Sons have cleaned up 

 their snug place previous to the usual 

 dull period. George is quite a grower 

 of cocos into handsome specimens. 



Geo. Savage has a house of roses 

 planted which are all right. He is add- 

 ing a violet pit and was about to re- 

 pot a fine batch of Cyripedium Law- 

 renceanum when I called. W. M,
