the receipts of peaches have included
11 handsome yellow, rc.l-cheeked va
riety of uncommon largo size, excel
lent of flavor, and in gvery way de
sirable. It lms been the custom to
expect all peaciies of extra size and
handsome appearance to come from
California, but the new peach now
coining in from Georgia, “the Elber
ta,” takes no longer a second place
for anything in its line from any
other section of the union. Califor
nia produces a great many excellent
peaches, but the Eastern coast of the
United States is the peach country
of the union. By the census roports
of 1890 Georgia produced in the
year preceding 5,525,000 bushels,
Texas being close in the lead. Ar
kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Alabama all produced over 2,-
500,000 each, these five states making
half of all the crop harvested.
“The Elberta,” the favorite now
among the peach growers, is u new
variety. Before it had been develop
ed the much smaller “Crawford”
seemed to be the best our orchard
men could do in the East, mid the
Crawford was not to be compared
with the big showy stuff from the
Pacific coast. The Elberta outclasses
anything that California is able to
put on the market, and it has the ad
vantage of being adapted to all cli
mates and soil from Georgio north
to Connecticut and New York. Hun
dreds of thousands of new trees are
being set out overy year, aud the
fruit promises to mark us great 11

of peaches a year, and they sell for
more than all the silver produced in
a year in the.United States, without
asking to be coined free into any
