Within the List few years, fruit culture, in all its varieties, has greatly increased in this country; so that, to-day, it is one of the leading interests. Fruit growers associations have been formed, and many periodicals established, to advocate and advance their intei ests. Their usefulness has been undoubted, and their success very encouraging. A mongst the fruits, tlie Peachy if not the most, is one of the most important of all. It is so easily raised, comes into bearing so soon, and is so delicious, as well as beautiful, it is impossible that it should not be a favorite. The consequence is that, in the sections specially conducive to its cultivation, almost every farm has an orchard, and some farms are but one continuous orchard; and sometimes farm after farm is devoted to peaches. Within the circle of our own knowledge, the quantity of land planted in peaches, by individual planters, varies from five acres to six hundred. Some planters have set as many as twenty thousand trees in a single season. Orchards of twenty, thirty, and fifty acres are not at all infrequent. Living in the very center of the peach-growing district; sharing the common interest felt in the subject; deeply impressed with its importance to the individual planters themselves, and also to the community at large ;and believing that we could do a lasting benefit to both, have induced us to prepare, and now offer to the public, the following little treatise on peach culture.
