THE CULTIVATION OF THE 



Wager, 25 Stump the World, 150 



Reeves' Favorite, 20 Shipley's Late Red. 50 



Crawford's Late, 100 



Brandywine, (or Prize,) 50 Total white, 550 



Beer's Smock, 100 

 Wilkins' Late Heath 



Cling, 25 



Total yellow, 450 

 Now the reader may say, here are too many varieties ; 

 but recollect it is for a retail orchard, near Wilmington 

 or other large towns. The varieties are all good, of 

 the kind demanded here, and will give a succession of 

 fruit from the beginning to the end of the season. If the 

 grower choose he may cut it down by eliminating such 

 as Wager, Reeves, Brandywine, and Shipley's Late 

 Red, and substitute for them, additional Crawford's Late, 

 Beer's Smock and old Mixon, but in my opinion he will 

 diminish his chances of always having fruit. 



For an orchard of one thousand trees south of 

 Wyoming I would plant as follows : 

 AN ORCHARD OF 



Yellow. 

 Early Rivers, 

 St. John, 



ONE THOUSAND TREES SOUTH OF 

 WYOMING. 



White. 

 50 Troth's Early Red, 25 



25 Old Mixon, 175 



(Note. — In lajge orchaids never plant a few peaches of one variety 

 unless for experiment. Less than fifty trees of one variety are a nuisance if 

 you have five thousand trees or more. )
