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 to be a score of apple orobards i the state where there is one nov and there ought to be better yarn . 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 seldom that Georgis apples a found in tbe market, and yet the d mand for appies here is very larg The experiment station is doi something toward getting tbe p* pie interested in the growing fruits. Its latest publications co tain a great deal of information r specting tbe growing of grap> Large quantities of this fruit a grown in the state, but the grow* do not know apparently bow to ma ket them. A largo poition ot t' grapes oonsnmed in this market the product of California vineyard Why is it that the Georgia 'grow*- do not monopolize tbe home mark* They certainly can do so profitabl There is a big, undeveloped field this state for those wbo are dispos to give tbeir attention to fruits.-- Savannah News.
