U iiiilii Hgg llpg|E2| Wi0^' Pebby, Thursday,'August. 1. _p e ny furnishes the champion 'frailstory of the .season.’ Judge A. & Giles iias a small orchard of vcr/clioice ffmt on his residence lot here. He says there is a peach tree -in. that orchard that has here- • tofore borne cling-stone .peaches of most excellent flayor and fair size,, This year thtfe tree is full of .fine"'- clear-stone peaches. He claims’ this to lie. an entirely new variety, and,-..has named, it the , “Darwin” peach. It is a seedling, .■ and 1 the peach from whidh’the -seed came grew on a grafted tree. You see this tree first reproduces from the stock and then from the ■ graft—that’s. the theory. There is also a Lepontp pea’r tree in Judge Giles' orchard which, .it is-' estimated,- contains twenty bush els of fruit. —«<?-«>*>— —Fully thrce-foorths of the 100 "car-loads cf peaches shipped from Marsballville this season were ; grown in Houston county. It is .estimated that 25 more car-loads 'could have., been shipped had crates and shipping facilities been equal to the demand. Add to the Marsballville shipments the crops grown around Fort Valley and Powersville, and we dare say BOO cars could have been filled with ^the best peaches ever grown any- . where. The shipping period is practically over, though there are thousands of peaches yet in Hous ton, and will be until the summer is about oyer.
