The Harris Winter Peach originated
in Nash county, is a perfect free stone,
white flesh. juicy and very good, and
bears abundant annual crops. Frost
does not injure it. the fruit has been
kept until Christmas. 1t is a valuable
market peach. The Albright originated
with J.. w. Albright, Esq, of Guilford
county, and is a remarkably fine peach,
bearing abundant crops, rpenlng late,
and keeping well. A peach of great
value for market.
The NEST valuable peaches for market
purposes as shown by actual shipments
made to northern cities from the fruit
farm of c. w. Westbrook, Wilson,
North Carolina, in the summer of 1873:
Amsdens June. First shipment
made May the 29th-lnade various
shipments. Sold at So, 81, IS, 50 and
$40 per bushel. 4 few of the Alexan-
der were shipped with the Amsden, but
the two peaches are much alike and
will always sell at the same price. The
Amsden, however, began to ripen first,
and bore more abundant crops. Ans
den and Alexander varieties sent to
New York in strawberry baskets, about
the 3Oth of May from Faison. y. c.,
sold at $40 per bushel. Other ship
ments In the same way sold at high
figures.
Early Beatrice.-First shipment on
the 4th of June. Sold a. high as ST at
first, but gradually declined in price,
and the last shipment brought from
SI.26 to 50 per crate OF ; pecks. The
Beatrice is usually small, and the better
plan with it is to pick before fully ripe.
1t keeps remarkably well. The tree
has "a tendency To over-bear and should
he well pruned.
