The Peaches of New York is a collection of essays and reports from the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, written by U. P. Hedrick and assistants. It surveys peach varieties suited to New York, discussing their qualities and cultivation. It is worth listening to for its careful picture of early twentieth-century pomology and orchard life.
