Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Peach Growing in West Virginia
First, the vast areas where certain soils predominate, on which the peach thrives better than any where else in the world and better than anything else of equal value yet tried. Second, the favorable climates found in the several parts of the State, combined with most suitable elevations. Third, the rapid development of the State in other lines, such as mining, lumbering, paper making, tanning, Oil and gas production, glass, tile, and brick manufacture, etc., thus build ing up the very finest local, special markets for choice fresh fruits right within our own borders. Such markets as Grafton, Fairmont, Mannington, Clarksburg, Morgantown and a hundred others are of the type of markets here mentioned. Many of them have but recently become very important in this regard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
