PEACHES . — Peckers. — Amygdalus Persica. 

 Each 25 cents, and 815 per hundred, and in larger numbers at less rates. 



If any person desires to have peaches on plum-stocks, such will be supplied. Experience, however, has 

 proved ihem 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 be- 

 neath our powerful sun, our climate greatly assimilating to that of Persia, the natural country of the peach. 

 The consequence 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 alter a short lapse of time; and even while living, 

 they present but a dwarf, pigmy appearance, when contrasted with those which are innoculated on the na- 

 tural stock as is practised in Persia. These remarks apply equally to the IN'eciarine, the Apricot, and the 

 Almond, as with all these classes of fruit the practice referred lo has long been exploded by intelligent cul- 

 iivatorsy and we therefore refrain from offering them, deeming such trees an imposition upon the public.
