Life of Peach Orchards
in Connecticut.

"It is a fact that the yellows
sometimes shows itself while the
trees are in the nursery rows, and
when planted in an orchard
some trees need to be taken out
every year till they are all
gone, which with us will
be in seven or eight years."

From a letter by Geo. F. Platt
& Son, Milford, Conn.

Addressed to Secy of Agric,
Washington, D.C. & Dated Nov. 20,
1893.

The Platts are peach growers
herefore to set 30 acres of California
grown peach trees on a new
piece of ground in spring of 1893.
