With plentiful crops of necessary

Georgia Peaches the Best.
For many years it has been claim
ed he^-e that the peaches grown in
i Georgia are the best in size, flavor
j and coloring, superior to the peaches
I grown in any other section of the
| coimtry.
That this ffiaim is recognized as
just and true is gratifying to our
people, but it is only a logical se
quence. Not only is our climate anc
soil especially adapted to the perfect
growth of peaches, but in Georgia
the first effort to place them in great
quantities in the northern, eastern
and western markets was made.
Further, the very best of thC market
peaches was originated in Georgia.
This pride of Georgia can be more
definitely located. Houston county
can justly claim the credit of begin
ning the shipment of peaches in car
load lots, to distant markets. Far
ther credit belongs to Houston, in
that Mr. Samuel H. Humph origi
nated the famous Elberta peach, the
handsomest and best peach ever
shipped from Georgia or any other
state.
It is gratifying that the fame of
the Georgia peach is extending
westward, after having captured,the
epicures of the north and east.
On March 7, 1901, the Chicago
Tribune contained an article from
which the following is an extract:
While the bulk of the Georgia
yield goes to New York and other
Eastern markets, Chicago is favored
annually with a steadily increasing
per centage, and fruit men agree in
pronouncing the Georgia peach as
by all means the best in point of
size, flavor, and firmness that comes
to this market.”
Just now it seems that this year
will be unusual in fruit production,
in that the prospect is fair for a
good crop, making two in succes
sion.
Should the weather permit a good
crop this year, the railroads can
greatly add to the reputation aud
income of Georgia peach growers
by so reducftig the freight rates
that this luscious product can be
placed on western markets at rea
sonable expense. r
