branches (Fig. 215). The only treatment is to pull out the trees and 
burn them. Other trees may be set in the same places. 
The curculio must be captured by jarring on sheets (see Plum). 
Varieties of the peach. 
For home use it is advisable to provide varieties that will ripen in 
succession, but for market purposes, in most sections, the medium and 
late kinds should be most extensively planted. Although there are 
many varieties that have a local reputation, but are not commonly 
found in the nurseries, the following kinds are well known, and can be 
generally grown with success: Alexauder, Hale Early, Rivers, St. John, 
Bishop, Connett (Southern Early), Carman, Crawford (Early and 
Late), Oldmixon, Lewis, Champion, Sneed, Greensboro, Kalamazoo, 
Stump, Elberta, Ede (Capt. Ede), Stevens (Stevens’ Rareripe), Crosby, 
Gold Drop, Reeves, Chairs, Smock, Salway, and Levy (Henrietta).

without trees of vari- 
ous kinds of pears, 
ripening fruits from , 
early in August till ' 
winter. The late va- 
rieties are generally 
good keepers, and ex- 
tend the season into 
February, thus sup- 
plying fruit for six or 
seven months. 
As the pear grows 
to perfection on 
quince, the dwarf tree 
is peculiarly adapted 
to planting on small 
home grounds, and : 
is often used as a 281. Seckel pear.
