Maryland PeaCh-GroWing.

The Maryland peach, like the Maryland
oyster, is rare dainty-one Of the joys OF
life. Like other joys however, it is I'M
certain in its coming. In recent years it
has frequently been missed from the
market, and its place has been supplied by
outside aud inferior fruit. A warm winter
will swell the buds prematurely then
comes blighting frost, and the peach crop
is done for
This winter, so the county weeklies say,
has been the right sort of winter for the
peach. The buds have been keeps from
swelling, and up to date have not been
killed. But it may yet have troubles
ahead. The crop is not safe until after the
Goth of April.
In recent number of the American Re-
view of Reviews Mr.. Worth B. Stottlemyer,
the owner of Western Maryland thirty
acre peach orchard, gives some exceedingly
interesting statistics Of the financial results
from the six crops realized during the fif-
teen years since 1885, when the orchard
was planted. Mr.. Stottlemyer's success
has been extraordinary, and is liable to
mislead the unwary as to the profits in
peach growing. In summary of results
from the sale of these six crops be tabuates
the net returns at SAC " 10Y, and the
entire expenditures, including 81, 100 for
the land, at s., 399. 80, leaving clear profits
of S3S, 96l.3S. This is for six crops obtained
in fifteen years, having missed nine crops
in that period. Notwithstanding the missed
crops, the average annual profits on the
thrty.acre orchard were over S., 600. The
returns realized from peaches have in
recent years grown constantly less, and no
such profits as Mr., Stottemyer reports
have probably been obtained by growers
within the last few years.
Twenty years ago the growing of peaches
for market purposes was confined almost
entirely to the peninsula between the
Chesapeake and Delaware bays, comprising
the State Of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. In those days there
was happy theory that peaches could not
be grown elsewhere. 1t was believed there
was some special quality in the soil, or
that the peninsula atmosphere was so modi
fed by the breezes from the two bays that
the peninsula possessed a peach monopoly.
This theory has long been exploded, as
peaches are now grown in great abundance
in Georgia, Tennessee, Indiana and Michi-
gan, while California has vast orchards
from which the fruit is shipped across the
country in refrigerator cars.
But none of these except, perhaps, the
Georgia peach equals the kind grown in
Maryland, when in lucky year the fruit
happens to come to maturity. Baltimore
