A Baltimore correspondent says : " I write at the request of my employer who places great value on your knowledge in everything connected with the business. He wants to know the most improved method of packing ripe peaches, so that they would carry safely from Baltimore to Newport, even if they were only two dozen in a package, just so they would go safely. The expense of the apparatus would be no objec. tion. He thinks, if you were to give your views through the Gardeners' Monthly, it might be of great value to others as well as himself".

[This note refers to peaches forced under glass in winter, and are of course much more tender than the peaches grown in the open air, and would require much more care than is given to the ordinary market fruit. We should think, however, that an ordinary peach crate, which is little more than a series of shallow shelves, so arranged that no peach would rest upon or press against its neighbor, is all that would be required. And of course they must be set in their places firmly by paper or other material about them, as not to bruise by any ordinary jolting they may receive on the passage. If any one has had actual experience we should be obliged by a note thereof. - Ed. G. M].
