PEACHES 
The Peach in perfection is one of the most delicious of all fruits. It suceeeds 
in favorable localities from Maine to California. 
The trees are of shorter duration 
than most fruit trees of temperate climates, but on account of their being more 
easily grown and in shorter time than other fruits are consequently cheaper. 
Everybody can afford to plant a few, and the orchardist, if his soil is at all adapted 
to their culture, will find them more profitable than almost anything that can be 
grown on the same land. 
Price of Peach trees, + to 5 teet: 15c. each, $1.25, for 10, $10.00 for 100.
