* Culture of the peach in the open air. 



Selection of sorts. Abercrombie says, " except the situation 

 be completely favourable as to climate, aspect, and shelter, for- 

 bear to plant very early or extreme late fruit, for frost will 

 almost invariably cut off the former, when blossoming and set- 

 ting, and the latter will hardly ripen under the declining heat of 

 autumn." The peaches proper for a small garden, according to 

 Forsyth, are ; the early avant, small mignonne, Anne, Royal 

 George, Royal Kensington, noblesse, early Newington, Galande, 

 early purple, chancellor, nivette, Catharine, and late Newington. 

 The peaches in the duke of Buccleuch's garden at Dalkeith, and 

 which ripen in the order in which they are placed, are as follows ; 

 those marked -f" are planted against a hot wall. 1 Early nutmeg. 

 2 Early Anne. 3 Red Magdalene. 4 Royal George. 5 Grim- 

 mood's Royal George. 6 Noblesse. 7 Galande y. 8 Belle- 

 gard^. 9 Montauban^. 10 Miller's mignon^, 11 Smith's 

 early Newington +. 12 Chancellor-^. 13 White Magdalene. 



Propagating to procure new varieties. The peach is raised 

 from the stone ; and this mode is pursued in North America, 

 even for procuring trees for common purposes. The peaches 

 called Acton-Scot and Spring-grove were thus originated ; the 

 parent trees were dwarfs planted in large pots ; these being 

 brought into a state of vigorous health, the pistils of the blos- 

 soms of one sort were impregnated with the pollen of another ; 

 only 3 peaches were suffered to remain on each tree ; and from 

 sowing the stones of these the above-mentioned peaches and 

 other varieties were produced ; the male parent of the latter 

 was the large French mignon, and the female the little red 

 nutmeg, which choice is consistent with the general principle,
