PEACH PITS. 



We use hundreds of bushels of Peach Pits yearly^ for our own planting, and are obliged 

 therefore to procure them in large quantities from the collectors. We are now enabled to 

 offer to our customers a fine stock of choice Southern Natural Peach Pits from original 

 seedling trees, grown below the Yellows' line and entirely free from any disease or taint. 

 Owing to their great scarcity this season the price is higher than usual. The prices quoted 

 cover cost of sacks and cartage to depot. Quart 40c (by mail); peck, 75c; bushel, $2.00; 

 by freight or express. 



PEARS. 



Plant Standards 20 feet apart each way — 108 trees per acre; Dwarfs, 7 to 10 feet apart each xvay. 

 Pears should be gathered from the trees and ripened in the house; some are worthless if left to ripen on the 

 tives, and all are better in quality if properly ripened indoors. Simimer pears should be gathered at least ten 

 (Jays before they would ripen, and autumn varieties two weeks. Winter pears should be permitted to hang until 

 te.te — until the leaves have fallen, if they will remain that long— then gathered and treated the same as winter 

 apples. Dwarf pears are those budded on Quince stocks, and although valuable for those who have but limited 

 space for planting, yet are by no means so reliable or productive as standard trees. If planted deep they will 

 form what are known as "half standards," which are usually productive and profitable. Dwarf pears will not 

 prove fruitful unless given high and careful culture and pruned annually.
