EnMARKS. — Not much cultivated in this country, where 

 we have many better; yet it is one of the best early 

 clingstone peachee. It is of English origin. With regard 

 to the effects of soil, climate, and location, on fruits, 

 nearly all the books which have been written in Amer- 

 ica, have taken by far too large a range of region, or 

 country, embracing, indeed, the whole United States, and 

 some of those which were but lately Territories. It is 

 seldom that these works have been particular enough in 

 their pages to designate any particular portion of the 

 whole country, to which any fruit was specially adapted.
