ILLUSTRATED AND DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



m PEACHES ad 



Every home should have a few peach trees as there is no more delicious fruit 

 in its season, and that purchased on the market is often of an inferior quality be- 

 cause of the necessities of picking comparatively green. Peach trees grow quickly 

 but are of short life and to keep a good supply of fruit, a few trees should be set 

 out each year to replace those that die of old age or accident.
