Peaches were on the table from the 20th of June to the 

 close of the Exposition. The Alexander and Amsden varieties 

 were the earliest shown. For length of time on exhibition, 

 largest display, and quality of fruit, Illinois had reason to be 

 proud of her peach display. The largest number of ship- 

 ments were made of the following named varieties in the order 

 mentioned, viz. : Thurber, Late Crawford, Ede, Old Mixon, 

 Elberta, Early Crawford, Stump, Smock, Mountain Rose, and 

 Troth's Early. No peaches were sent in from the Northern 

 District, and but few varieties from the central part of the 

 State.
