We have on former occasions expressed the pinion that peaches may be had, with some | labor, every year throughout the Northern | States. a tew experiments have been made in different places, and the result has been more or less successful. A question is as to the * easiest and best mode of protection. Ssvers’, have re.ommended training trees low, bending | down the branches and covering them with | earth in the same way that raspyerries a.e com. | monly prot An objection to thes mode is | thatthe rizidity of the peach limps prevents | them from lying flaton the cround; and ans other is, the lability of t8e buds to becom> water-soaked and rot mutess the earth cover- | ing is removed the very day the frost leaves it | —eepecially if the scil be very strongor heavy. We tried 2 few experimeuts last winter, a statement of which may be interesting to thosa having the same object before them. The win. | ter was favorable to <uch experiments—in oth. er words it kille@ every exposed fruit bnd on the pesch in the peighborhood—nota solitary | one was seen that had escaped. One set of ex- | perimenis consisied in drawing a bundle of the Suoots together npon the tree, aud covering | Wih moss wrapped in paper or sacking; an inch or more of fine moss was thus p.aced oteund the choots, but it failed to afford the Gerired protection—all the buds were destroy. | ed by the cold. Perhaps a casing of oilcloth, | to shut out the rain and keep the moss perfect. | ly diy, would have succeeded better. Tne ob- ject was to obviate the necessity of bending down the shoots, and large portions of the.tree a secured with bat little labor. ion of evergreen leaves for the vestiosnably have been an im- i they been at hand.
