Of all the fruits that come to the New
York market during the summer season,
peoches are probably the most highly
prized. They come from widely ditlerent.
sections. The first supply comes from
North and South Carolina and Georgia.
The number of these is very small, not
more than five or six hundred baskets a
day being shipped at the height of the
season. The gross receipts from this
section of the country would not amount
to the aggregate sent by some large New
Jersey or Delaware grower. This fruit;
is generally out of the market; before the
Delaware and New Jt‘lScy peaches make
their appearance.
