* These aro fine Georgia peaches, and are extensively cultivated near Clarksville, 

 Habersham county, in place of Northern varieties. The first is a magnificent fruit, 

 often loeighing over a pound. The second is also a native seedling, ripening its fruit from 

 the last of October to middle of November, with the unusual property of keeping sound 

 until December. (These fruits are worthy of general cultivation.) No region of coun- 

 try upon the globe can exceed Georgia and portions of Mississippi in the perfection of 

 their peaches. The burning sun developing the fine saccharine qualities of this delicious 

 fruit to the highest degree. Even the yellow-fieshed varieties are sweet and savory, wiih 

 only so much acid as to be grateful to the taste. Early peaches from South Carolina and 

 Georgia may be put in Northern markets at least four weeks earlier than from their 

 own orchards, as the peach ripens in the middle portions of these States by the 10th of 

 June.
