Excerpt from Twenty-Third Annual Report of the Secretary of the State Horticultural Society of Michigan, 1893Mr. U. B. Webster: I have been here fourteen years, coming from southwestern Missouri to grow peaches, yet the first thing I did was to pull out peach trees because of yellows. -but for the past three years I have had peach es, and there are in my town of Fairplain many trees that are sound and promising. The trees have come through the winter all right and no doubt will produce abundantly this season. The Messrs. Pullen, when peaches went, turned to small fruits, and made money, and we all followed them, but now we have turned back to peaches again, and believe we shall be highly successful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
