Below is a partial list of sorts of later introduction, many ot 

 wbicli have been well tested in a variety of soils, and are known to 

 be valuable. 



1. Felt's Rareripe. — Oricrinated by Cyrus Felt, Esq., at Monte 

 Bello, Hancock County, Illinois. Its chief chan^cteristic is that it 

 reproduces itself from the seed, with but little variation, and has 

 been so grown for many years. It is a large yellow fleshed free- 

 stone, mostly covered with a deep red blush — good quality, and 

 ripens from August 15th to 25th. Good treatment in good soil 

 will keep this peach up to its original standard ; but neglect and 

 careless handling have caused a gradual deterioration in some 

 orchards. It has been quite extensively propagated from the seed. 



2. Stump the World. — Large, very good, white ; August to 

 September. 



3. Hale's Early. — Very good, medium, red, round ; juicy, soft ; 

 vigorous grower ; season, last of July. In many localities this 

 peach is subject to rot on the tree. 



4. Foster.— Middle to last of August. 



5. Amsden's June. — Claimed to be the earliest of all. 



6. Wilder; 7. Steadley; 8. Engle's Downing ; 9. Pullen's Seed- 

 ling ; 10. Alexander ; and others of local reputation. 



To these should be added the following, originated by Mr. 

 Rivers, of England, to some extent tested in America, viz.: 

 Early Beatrice, Early Victoria, Early Louise, 



Early Rivers, Prince of Wales, Rivers' Early York, 



Stanwick Early York. Lady Palmerston. 



Training. — Peach trees should be annually shortened-in. The 

 tendency of the sap is to the extremities and the higher branches, 

 whi e the lower limbs are thus, for want of nourisshment, left to die
