PEACH CULTURE. 
By JAMES ALEXANDER FELTON. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $1.50. 
Among the fruits, the Peach, if not the most, is one of the 
most important of all. It is so easily raised, comes into 
bearing so soon, and is so delicious as well as beautiful, it 
is impossible that it should not be a favorite. Living in the 
very center of the peach-growing district; sharing the com¬ 
mon interest felt in the subject; deeply impressed with its 
importance to the individual planters themselves, and also 
to the community at large; and believing that a lasting bene¬ 
fit could be done to both, the author has been induced to 
prepare this work on peach culture.
