to six limbs, which will form a balanced head. Cut each of these 

 limbs back to 8 or 10 inches. Prime peach heavily, cutting back to 

 18 to 24 inches above ground, removing all but four or five branches 

 which should be cut back to stubs with two or three buds each. 

 Cherry needs only slight priming. If trees are planted in fall, wait 

 until early spring to prune. 



Cultivation. All trees should be cultivated frequently, so as to 

 prevent loss of moisture. Cultivate immediately after every rain.
