LUSCIOUS FRUIT IN AMERIcus
WatermeIons and Peaches Still
Abundant.

Think of eating Iucious ripe peaches
and red-ripe watermelons IN mid Oc-
toOer. That's what Americas people
are still doing, and have been doing
for five months past. There has not
been a day within that time when
Americus people could not buy good
ripe peaches, grown in orchards here,
and the supply is still sufficient. The
peaches are of the latest varieties
grown here, and while not as fine as
others they are peaches, nevertheless,
and proves the possibilities of fruit
culture in south Georgia. There were
in market yesterday, besides peaches,
goodly supply of fine watermelons,
fully ripe and lucious. These were
"Kleckley Sweets" and from late plant
ings on new ground. Wagon loads of
Keiffer pears were also offered, and for
eating as we'll as preserving purposes
this fruit is greatly esteemed. There
are no oranges as yet, but California
grapes, pineapples and the pIebian
"banans" are plentiful, while northern
apples were never so cheap and album
dant.
