The almond bears a greater afBnity to the peach and 

 nectarine than the plum ; and doubtless, if our cUmate 

 were more genial, it would, as in France, be the most 

 suitable stock. As a proof of this, Mr Pitman informs 

 me that some peach-trees raised on the almond stock, 

 that he had to do with, succeeded admirably for a while, 

 till an unfavourable season caused them to succumb; 

 while the same varieties on the plum stock endured the 

 ordeal unscathed. The French growers are also partial 

 to the St Julien pear as a stock for peaches and 

 nectarines. 



In selecting young trees, it is always most satisfac- 

 tory, both to the nurseryman and the buyer, that 

 the latter go to the nursery and choose for himself. 

 Avoid trees that have stood long in the nursery- 

 rows, and that have been frequently cut hard back, and 

 choose those having from eight to ten strong, well- 

 ripened shoots. See that the union with the stock is 

 perfect and free from gumming, and the stem healthy 

 and growing-Hke, having no sign of being bark-bound.
