 but not sufficiently productive to be popular with 

 growers for market. Morris White is a lulc peach, 

 much prised for preserving, and sells high.

After a constant warfare with the black buys for 

 about six weeks, in which time we have slain many 

 thousands, aud a total eradication of weeds and 

 grass, I found my vines were nearly all pointing to 

 the east, not only the main vine, but the laterals 

 were taking the same direction. My plunts being

 otherwise entirely bnrren, I saw the necessity of
