NOTH. — We have a large stock of Peacli too light for first-class grade, but they are just the tree for orchard 
planting. Growers will know that the height of a peach tree has little to do with its growing, and many prefer 
a light tree. 
These trees are straight and well rooted, and we will make rates in 500 and 1,000 lots very low, on applica- 
tion. Parties wanting peach trees should order early, as the demand is very heavy, even at this early date, 
when we go to press.
