PEACH TREES. 
Varieties should be carefully selected, 
to have them adapted to the section where 
they are to be planted. This done, good 
trees planted on new land with good drain- 
age, and carefully cultivated, will bring 
quick returns, and are among the most 
satisfactory fruits that can be grown.
