at two years old. I will not venture to decide whether it 

 might not possibly produce fruit even at the end of a single 

 year ; and therefore as the improvement of this, and other 

 species of fruit, and adapting varieties of them to our cli- 

 mate, presents an ample and interesting field for experiment, 

 I trust that I shall not labour in it alone. 



In prosecuting such experiments, I would recommend the 

 seedling Peach trees to be retained in pots, and buds from 

 them only, to be inserted in older trees ; for their rapid and 

 luxuriant growth is extremely troublesome on the wall, and 

 pruning is death to them.
