Peach Pits for Planting.

orchard, were as a rule devoid OF fl
brous roots, and only straight or tap
root, with one or two coarse siie
roots, which made them unpopular
with the planters.
Fall planting and leaving them ur-
disturbed in the nursery row was the
reason assigned for the lack of fibrous
or lateral roots.
The New Jersey nurserymcp
thought that the winters of this se2-
ton were too severe; or the constant
freezing and thawing would heave tho
pits out of the nursery row, and to
avoid the poor root system in part'cu

fall system of planting altogether, and
adopted the bedding system-puttire

about 1850 by the settlers.
In its adaptability to the soil and
climate of this country the peach has
as wide q range as any other fruit and
the fruit is considered the greatest
luxury of it's season, writes E. s. Black
in Rural New Yorker New Jersey had
the distinction for years of being
one of the greatest peach-growing
states in the country, and old men
have told me of the immense crops
that they have seen grown on the then
virgin soil, and which often had to be
made into peach brandy, as the mar
kets were glutted with the fruit and
transportation facilities were few and
far to reach. Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, New York, California and all
the western states looked to New Jer-
sey for a supply of peach trees. Muir
serymen in other states soon found it
profitable to grow the trees, and many
builders from New Jersey found profit
able employment among them, so that
now the growing of peach trees, as
with other nursery stock, is not con-
fined to any section, and tree grown
in one section is just as good as that

HOW TO SELL

VIII Soon Have Trade No
One Can Take Away.

The following good advice to mar
ket gardeners is taken from the Min
nesota Horticulturist:
IF you are located near a city
where you can market produce from
the wagon, you will find that II you
prepare vegetables with the same care
that you do fruits, and be honest all
the way down to the bottom of the
basket, you will have a trade that no
one can take from you, and your prod
uce will bring a premium over the
average market. The same rule holds
true If you are shipping to other mar
kets. A packet rightly packed is half
sold, and is an invitation to buy an
other 1t is always advisable, before
planting your crop, to know to some
extent where and how you will dispose
of It. Make all preparation before the
time of harvest. What might be seri-
Gus losses are often avoided by look

Incubators and breeders cost some
