Here are nineteen varieties, a good many, truly, but 

 in this hive of peach industry, we want the fruit at all 

 times, and under all circumstances, to eat, to can, to 

 evaporate, to ship, and it must possess qualities for all 

 these purposes. I have increased stumps here, for it is 

 a grand peach to ship, to can, and next to smock, the 

 best to evaporate, and is profitable in any way you can 

 take it ; it is a good and regular bearer, and, oh, 

 such a pretty peach to look upon. You will notice in 

 this list that the white fruit slightly predominates. I 

 believe this is as it should be, for profit. It is more sure 

 in bearing, standing the frost better. It is grand fruit to 

 ship, to can, to evaporate, and to eat. Perhaps, to-day, 

 the yellow fruit predominates on the peninsula, but I am 

 a firm believer in making the division as to color, near 

 or quite even, in order to facilitate the proper regulation 

 t)i the business.
