Mr.. Fred Johnson, has a Seeding in
the north part of town, upon the north
side of which are a number Of as fine
looking peaches as one need wish to
see, being in size and appearance
much like we'll developed Albertas.

fruit, which seems perfectly thrifty. is
about the size of a plum and has ali

tree himself and knows it was never
grated, and vet it is producing two
distinct varieties Of peaches.
