THE YELLOWS IN PEACH TREES. 
Eds. Rural: —Permit me, though the col¬ 
umns of your paper, to call the attention of 
the public to this disease, which, unless there 
can be some stop put to it by private exer¬ 
tions or by legal enactments, seems to threaten 
the entire destruction of this most delicious 
fruit in the United States. 
This disease was first known in New Jer¬ 
sey, but at what time, or place, I have no 
means at present of ascertaining. It has now 
spread over most of New Jersey, a part of 
Delaware, some in Southern New York, and a 
part of Connecticut. It may be called the 
cholera of the peach trees, but is more fatal to 
them than the Asiatic cholera is to the human 
family; in the latter case many that are at¬ 
tacked recover, but in the former none. In 
both cases, quacks have advertised their spe¬ 
cifics, but I venture to say, that there ha° 
never been a single instance where a peach 
tree that had the yellows was restored to 
a healthy state. This disease first manifests 
itself by a change in the color of the leaves, 
as the name indicates, from a healthy green 
to a sickly yellow. The branches are stunted 
in their growth, although having as many 
buds as would appear on a healthy shoot— 
they are all crowded in a short space, and 
when the leaves put out in the spring, they 
more resemble a tuft of leaves than a proper 
shoot.
