THIN OUT YOUR REACHES. !
The Gcrinantown Telegraph states that
Mr Rldjrway 'raised last year, on his splcn
did orchards, near Delaware City, upwards
of eighteen thousand bushels of peaches, the
finest over brought to Philadelphia The
plan Mr. R' pursues to get laige fruit, is to
thin them nut in their green slate, that the
energies of the tree, instead being divided a
mouiT thousands of diminutive peaches, are
concentrated upon one third of the number,
giving them three times the size, and this
size brings thrtic times the prico of the
small, sour, immatured Truit which is so
