n Planting Peach Pits.
1t is good plan to plant all peach
pits when it is known that the fruit
has been grown on trees free from yel-
lows. If the peach is an extra good
one, it may we'll be left to fruit on its
own stock. Some kinds of peaches
reproduce themselves for seed, and all
kinds of this fruit are more likely to
produce something nearly like them
selves. If the native fruit proves to
be worthless, few buds inserted
higher up after it has grown large
enough to show what it is, will change
it to whatever variety may be de-
sired.
