PEACHES IN New YORK.-A reporter
in late issue of the New York Post, who
interviewed the Commission Men on the
question of peaches, learned from them
that the Delaware crop was failure and
if it were not for the Hudson River Crop
New York would be badly off for peaches
this year. The following is what he says
Of the latter crop:
Mr.. ID. NJ. Wygant, Of the firm of
! Wood x Wygant, said: 1--WE deal largely
i'll New York State peaches and expect an

and quality. Not enough has been said
about the splendid prospects of the Hud-
! son River counties as the great peach dis
trict of the future, but some of the news
| papers have overestimated the bearing
! capacity for this year. About million
and half of trees are planted, but not
! half that number are yet bearing. 1t takes
! from four to five years for peach tree to
yield fruit. From the present indications
| | should say that we may expect fully
half million baskets of excellent fruit
from the river districts. OF course, the
failure of the Delaware crop is a benefit
to the North River growers, and | may
say that quarter crop of peaches is better
for the growers and the commission men
than superabundance, for when the
market is glutted the railroads make all
the money that the peaches sell for.
The amount of money which the New
York peach-grOwers will make this year
will result i'll the planting Of thousands of
new orchards. The fruit gets to New
York in better condition than from Della
ware, and the supplanting of the Della
ware peach by its northern rival is only a
matter of time.
Even Michigan sent us some peaches last
earand expects to do so again although this
year its crop has failed A notable feature
of the peach market this year, so far, has
been the arrival this week Of two carloads
of peaches and apricots from California.
The experiment has been tried before, but
; never with success until now. Both car
loads of fruit were in excellent condition.
From other persons engaged in the busi-
ness the reporter learned that about half
the usual crop of peaches is expected"
