terest to our many readers :
Griffin, Georgia, March 0, 1882.
DEAR SIR,—Yon will see from the above
that I have reached the end of my long talked -
of journey south. I arrived here just a week
ago to -day, and have found the country to
mere than satisfy my brightest antioipations,
both as to beauty of scenery, salubrity of
climate, purity and abundance of spring wa-
ter, fertility of the soil and hospitality and:
intelligence of the people. Everything grown
in Canada grows here, only with greater ease
and more abundance, besides many other
fruits and vegetables of a semi tropical na-
ture. The wheat fields here are beautiful to
look upon, also oats, rye, and barley—and
not killed in patches by the frost; as at home.
I passed by..a field, of barley to -day thatty
stands over a foot in height. But this is, of
all countries that I have ever visited, the
paradise of fruit growers. I am told that
nearly all the apples consumed in the south
are imported from the northern states. The
apple has been almost entirely neglected, al-
though, growing and ripening to perfection.
The ruling price is $2 per bushel, but some•
tires they are sold for $1 per bushel. The
Georgians are so wedded, to the raising of
cotton, that, as a rule, they do not turn their
attention to anything else, and seem to think
they would not be successful in fruit growing,
as they have never been accustomed to it.
There are several large peach orchards here—
the largest in the world—one of 400 acres.
Mr. Parnell, brother of the Irish agitator,
has 'a peach orchard of 700 acres, and there
are several others in the neighborhood of from
10 to 500 acres, generally set but by northern
nen. Peaches are raised here six weeks in
advance of the crop• at the north, and a very
profitable business is made by sending them
to northers cities, where the first shipments
command almost tabolous prices -as high as
S32 having been reoeived by the growers here.
As the crop, begins to ,come in more plenti-
fully the price gradually drops to $16, $8, or
$4 per bushel, and winds up in September
'till they cease to pay for shipment, and are
sold in local markets from $2 to 25 cents per
bushel. A drying establishment or canning
factory, on a very large scale, could not fail -
of being very profitable. Sweet potatoes are
grown here in abundance, as well as our Ca-
nadian variety. The potato bug pest is not
known here. Rice is grown to some extent,
also sugar cane, figs, patsimmons, pecans,
English walnuts, filberts, etc. Strawberries
ripen here about the 15th of April, but there
is not enough raised to supply even the local
markets, and 75 cents per quart is a common
price for the first supply in Atlanta, and from
that down to ten cents, later in the season.
Fruit trees grow much more rapidly here
than at home. I have transplanted a large
number of peach trees from the nursery, bud-
ded lastsummer,• and I find many of them
higher than my head, full of buds, ready to,
blossom and bear fruit by the 25th May (less
than one year from the insertion of the bud).
When apple trees are well taken care of they
begin to yield a- profitable return in three to
four years from the time of planting out, and
they continue to increase in fruitfulness year
by year, until ten or twelve years, when as
many as 30 to 50 bushels have been gathered
from one tree. A neighbor here has several
thousand pear trees set out five years ago,
they have borne several crops and are larger
than mine at home, set out twenty years ago.
Land is very cheap, and easy to obtain, from
$IO to $25 per aare,.according to location arid
Anality, and profitable returns in fruit raising,
speedy and certain. But a deep interest in
fruit culture is being awakened, and it oan-
not be long ere the beat 'localities will be se-
cured, and much higher prices for land rea•
lizod. Yours, Svc., , E. S. L.
