The Peach Cron


 There should be bumper peach crop this year. The Connecticut crop is said to be promising in spite of some few cold nights since the buds began to develop, and the astonishing admission comes from Georgia that the peach crop down there is not failure, that it is not dam- aged in the slightest degree, and that & big yield is confidently expected. The papers of Georgia frankly own up that the Georgia peach crop will be of extra fine quality.
 The peaches of Georgia will begin to make their appearance in the northern markets, and 1t is estimated that from June to July 15 about $500 carloads will be shipped. The marketing has been carefully planned, so that the sup ply will be we'll distributed and there will be no glut in some markets, to the disadvantage of the sellers and of some consumers, as has been the case in some former years.
 Georgia has variety of different kinds of peaches, but they all look pretty much alike, and all look pretty good, to the average northern consumer, coming at time when northern fruit trees have but just shed their blossoms.
