The History Of tie Peach
Its Introduction to-
Maryland.

y correspondent of the Balto., S"p
has recently been down in'lalbot county V
looking up ancient and present history
IN reference 10 the peach. Here iol-
lows Il copious extract from the article:
about halt of the peach trees in
Talbot county have been destroyed
this. year by the owners because of the
uncertain and Improbable features OF
the peach crop in recent years. Few
young trees were planted last year. II
hard fact for the nurserymen. The
land from which the peach trees are
removed will 60 TO tomatoes and other
vegetables, grain and grass
Nest products on Talbot soils
cease to crop well after certain mum.
ber oi years At the beginning of the
century and for many years before,
tobacco was the staple in Talbot county
farmers grew ii year after year, until
it would grow no longer. Then they
abandoned it for wheat and corn. the
yield of which per acre is increasing
up To this time. Chemists have found
how To put back through commercial
fertilizers the constituents of the soil
those grains exhaust year after year
When these manners are not used the
yield is less than it was fifty years ago.
There is an interesting story Of the
introduction OF the peach into America
more than two hundred years ago.
About three miles from E;lston there
is an estate called Peach Blossom
which is at the head of creek OF
the same name Ii was the seat of the
historic Robins family, who came
from England and took that estate
when Maryland was very young. The
direct descendants OF the first Robins
Of Maryland live now in Philadelphia
The surname no longer exists in Talbot
county, though il appears in the chris
liam names Of members OF G0ldsbor-
nugh, the Holiday and other families.
''One of the family, Thomas Robins,
was great traveller, and roamed all
over the accessible regions of the
world. In Persia he found the peach,
Il fruit then unknown in England and
America, and brought to MARYLAND
with him some peach stones which he
planted on the estate his brother had
just settled upon. When the trees
blossomed the flowers were 81 much
admired that the name of the estate
was changed from Arcacia To Peach
Blossom. Ii there was time when
this story was not believed il was So
far back inthe past as not To be located
\ stone table OH the Peach Blossom
estate once gave the date of planting
of the peach stones. but it has dissap
peared in the general wreck and ruin
of the place. which glories have de.
parted many, many wears ago.
Some persons have theory that
the peach is improved variety of al.
mond. The almond has thick shell
around the stone which splits open
and shows the stone when mature. Ii
is explained that in each peach thi.
outer shell has become fe>hev \
recent writer who has given much at

now, was grown in Babylon four hun
