PEACH CULTURE.

orchards to give them profitable re-
turns on their investments OF money,
time and trouble. In planting peach
trees there is a mistaken idea among
some people that they must crowd
the young trees to make an extra
good growth right at the start, and
to this end they apply rank nitro
genOuS fertilizers that make strong
wood growth without making any
provisions whatever for the real end
for which the tree is planted, and
that is u large yield of Il high grade
of fruit. In this section there were
hundreds of thousands of peach trees
planted ten or twelve years ago that
got nothing in the shape OF fertlh-
zers for the first few years of their
existence but cotton seed meal. The
trees grew all right and gave every
promise of doing we'll, but when the
time for them to bear, the fruit was
not forthcoming, and what little
they did yield was of "a poor insipid
nature, poor shippers and altogether
very inferior in quality.
There are several important fac
tors that enter largely into a success
full and profitable peach orchard, but
the most important of all is the
proper fertilizers to use and the
quantity and time of application, as
we'll as the treatment given, such as
cultivation, crops grown in the
orchard, etc. The first application
of fertilizers should be after the tree
gets to growing well, the nature of
this should be to make good thrifty
tree with not too much rank wood
growth. The best for this purpose,
| believe, is blood and bone with pot
ash the analysis of it should be
about as follows Ten per cent. nitro
gen, eight per cent. phosphOric acid,
and six per cent. potash. This APP
piled in the early spring broadcast
and worked we'll into the soil, and
again in June, will give the tree Il
| good start to be useful and remunera-
tive in its station.
In the late fall again (say in No
vember) if the trees have made a
good growth, l would apply from
six to eight hundred pounds per acre
of fertilizer Analysing six per cent.
phosphoric acid and eight per cent.
potash brOadcasting it as before and
blowing under all weeds, grass and
any weed growth made during the
previous summer and sowing rye on
the land to serve u cover during
winter to prevent teaching from

In March, after all danger of frost

FRUITS OF THE SEASON
NOW ARE PLENTIFUL

On q single fruit stand OF even un-
pretentious dimensions may be found
Delaware peach reposing side by side
with a plum from far-away Japan, or
a Porto Rican pineapple touching the
taintlyltinted cheek Of the California
Bartlett pear. The extent OF area from
which Wilmington makes her fruit
selections is one index OF the fruit
loving propensity Of the consumer, and
the variety Of the supply is method
of determining the fastidious taste OF
the epicure who calls for a wide range
OF choice.
The Georgia Belle peach trees which
gave generous supply Of excellent
quality, are nearing the end OF their
fruitage; this week will probably fur
niGh the last invoices from this locality
for the year. The Delaware fruit
grower Is already in condition to fur
nish the supply, SO many peaches being
in the market. although they are yet
rather small in size
Delaware grapes come as an early
warning of waning Sumner The
heat affected their quality to great ex-
tent, scorching the unripe fruit and
its growth.
Florida and Porto Rico are sending
pineapples which are of desirable quail
ity but rather scarce.
The large plums in the market are
mostly from California. although there
is also a rather unfamiliar species
called the Japanese plum. which. as its
name implies, comes from the mikadn's
kingdom. In taste, 1t is similar to the
green gage. pear-shaped and about the
size OF the California plum There rs
"a japanese species. too. which has been
tIansplanted and is now grown IN Cali
fornia. Its choicest specimens are as
large as an ordinary pear, beins also
