PEAcHEs.-The Turf Field and Farm says
that the market is absolutely glutted wi th in
ferior peaches. Quality and not quantity
should be the object of all fruit-growers. This
year the overladen trees should have been re-
lieved of one half their burden when the
fruit was no larger than musket balls; the re-
mainder would have given the same weight of
far superior fruit, selling at better prices and at
less cost for TRANSPORTATION.
