WHY NOT LATB PEACHES ?
In this market California peaches
areselling at 5cents apiece,that iB the
best of them, and they are not very
good peaches either. They are lus
cious looking, but they are far infe
rior to the Georgia peach. Of course
the California growers do not get 5
cents apiece for these peaches. They
are fortunate if thev get 1 cent, or
even } cent. At J ueut the growers
would make a handsome profit.
How is u that California peaches
and pears and grapes find such a
good market in this state? There is
no better fruit growing state in tbe
union than Georgia. Her peaches and
plums have a wide reputation. Her
peaches are all marketed, howeyer,
by tbe middle or last of August.
But there is no reason why she
should not grow late peaohes. She
has a suitable soil and climate. All
that is lacking is the ueccessary
knowledge and the inclination. It
was not known that Georgia oould
grow peaches on a large scale profit
ably until within the last ten years.
Now there are many people in tbe
middle part of the state who are
getting rich from their peach ’or
chards.
Tbe country is growing rapidly
and the market for fine fruit is there
fore increasing. And there is a
market for peaches for more than a
few weeks. There is no good reason
why Georgia should not have peaohes
from the first of July to the middle
of October—not a few trees here
aud there, but large orchards that
would supply the greater part ot the
south and west with peaohes.
And attention ought to be given
to securing tbe kind of peaches
which stand transportation well and
keep for two weeks or more, as tbe
California peaohes do. There is just
ns much money in late peaohes as
there is in peaohes that are marketed
in July and August. In Maryland
and Delaware some of the best va
rieties of peaches do not ripen until
October, and, as a rule they brin
better prices than those market* '
earlier in the season.
Not anywhere near as much at
tention is given to fruit hi th<s stai
as there ought to be. There ougl

ties of apples. And more attentio
ought to be given to the finer vari<
ties of pears. It is a mistake to pe
mit so much money to go out of tl
state tor truit, when better fri
could be produced at home. It

found in tbe market, and yet the d
