18 Particulars of a Peach Tree, 8?c. $c. 



sulphur, and soap suds, in the months of May, June, and 

 July, the tree has uniformly been kept free from blight, and 

 every sort of insect. The bark looks like silver, and there is 

 not, during the whole season, a single curled leaf to be seen 

 on the tree. 



The size of the fruit varies very little, between one year 

 and another, the weight being from eight to ten ounces, 

 each Peach, and sometimes more. The finest grow near the 

 top, though the tree is beautifully covered in all its parts. In 

 1811 four hundred and twelve dozen were taken off, to thin 

 it, and sixty-nine dozen and seven Peaches left for a crop. 

 Sir Charles has heard of an equal number having been fre- 

 quently suffered to ripen, before he came to reside in Suffolk; 

 but of late years he has seldom allowed more than fifty dozen 

 to remain, to which circumstance he, in a great measure, 

 attributes the perfect health, and great vigour of the tree.
