Your committee would recommend thu
fruia growers in this Territory to try expert
menss in the raising of peaches from which
they: have hitherto held aloof, under the er
ronC )us impression that the climate is no
suitable for them. From our experience W,
feel satisfied that variety of European
peaches of a good quality, could be raised
just As well here, as elsewhere; and W,
therefore advise fruit growers to give thi
classsof fruit an early and thorough trial
Mr.. q. w. Lawton, of Seattle, has been expe
rimesting in peaches during the last 81,
years. and has come to the conclusion tina
tibet european peach can be successful
raise:s in this Territory, as the climate nearly
resembles that of Europe. Mr.. Lawton ha.
manyzof these varieties, now for sale.
