stocks for the Peach

From our special Correspondent.
On our trip down the river on the
steamer Georgia, Monday morning, you
said your place was pretty we'll grown
over with plum trees-at least. in some
places-and you inquired il the Peen-To
and Honey peach could not I've budded
upon plum stocks.
notice our mutual friend OF the Flor.
ida Dispatch speaks Of the same subject.
and remarks: I'VE cannot see what is TO
be gained by grating the peach upon the
plum" Let this suffice as AN apology
for occupying little space in your val.
liable paper. Like most other questions.
there are pro and con sides to this one.
| will give some points on both sides and
leave the Judge to decide.
The peach will grow readily on the
plum stock and make healthy and viz.
orous tree, that will fruit as well or bet.
ter than on peach stock. will give as
q first reason in favor Of the plum stock
that the plum grows here in Florida on
high land and low, and is as little affect.
ed unfavorably with a drouth or wet
spell as a jack oak or a patch Of wire
grass. And further, and very impor.
tant point, the plum stock is not iniueir
by the peach tree borer. The third point
| will make is, q peach tree can readily
be made dwarf, by using the wild or
slow growing varieties. or a standard
BY using the large cultivated pIums OF
Florida or the Chicasaw varieties.
Think Of only two reasons against
the plum stock. The first is il the peach
graft or bud overgrows the plum stock
which 1t il most likely TO do. especially
IL the slowing varieties are used it will
make an ugly place at the point of the
connection which may break of in a
high wind. The second objection to the
plum stock is. their liability TO sprou,.
Wherever root is marred or broken,
there will bea sprout. Perhaps dozen.
Eternal vigilance" for the firet three or
four years will alone keep these sprouts
down, but VI the work il thoroughly
done it will b. l.ss and less trouble.
Stocks raised from seed. which are the
only ones fit for use. will sprout much
less than those raised from root cuttings.
never knew cutting from n branch to
grow.
One more question is worth our notice,
to.wit: rs this something new urhler the
SUM- In his book entitled THE Ftui,
Garden" J. Barry, Of Rochester, Y. ".
one of the leading nurservmen and fruit
growers of America, say: In England
the peach is worked almost exclusively
on the plum, as it suits their moist eli.
mate and soil better. In France the
hard shelled almond is used on DRY and
the plum on damp soils" SO it seems
that in those countries where the cul
ture Of the peach is carried TO lts hghes,
perfection, the plum stock is in common
