Origin OF the Peach.

Nothing is now more universally ac'
ceptcd than the fact that the peach Is
an improved variety Of the almond.
The almond has a thin shell around
the stone, which splits open and shows
the stone when mature. This outer
skin has simply become tlCShy in the
peach, so that it is all that gives 1t is
specific character. 1t seems now clear
from investigation in the history OF
ancient Babylon that in their gardens.
nearly 1000 years ago, the peach was
cultivated then as it is now.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond. and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity Of the fruit Pos
sibly gardening in some respects. at
least so far as it relates to many OF
our cultivated fruits, was as far al
vanced 600O or 5000 or perhaps 10000
years back as it is today.
Phenicians. many thousands Of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had il
their gardens almonds, apricots, ha-
nanas, citrons, figs, grapes, olives,
peaches, pomegranates, and even sugar
cane was in extensive cultivation. Ger
tainly this shows how far advanced
these nations were in garden culture
many years ago.
