PEACHES. St 
PEACHES .—Péchers.—Amygdalus Persica. 
Eacu 29 cents, and by the hundred at a liberal discount. 
If any person desires to have peaches on plum-stocks, such will be supplied. Experience, 
however, has proved them valueless for standards, and only suited to a dwarf habit 
when trained on walls, &c. The sap of the plum is altogether insufficient to sustain 
the vigorous growth of the peach in open culture beneath our powerful sun, our climate 
greatly assimilating to that of Persia, the natural country of the peach. The conse- 
quence is, that trees budded on the plum begin to fail after the second year, overgrow 
the plum-stock, and either break off, or perish from exhaustion after a short lapse of 
time; and even while living they present hut a dwarf, pigmy appearance, when con- 
trasted with those which are inoculated on the natural stock as is practised in Persia. 
These remarks apply equally to the Nectarine, the Apricot, and the Almond, as with 
all these classes of fruit the practice referred to has long been exploded by intelligent 
cultivators, and we therefore refrain from offering them, deeming such trees a fraud 
upon the public.
