PEACH AND NECTARINE TREES. 255 



wood has attained a mature state for bearing 

 next year, let the trees be removed from the 

 house and be plunged in the border of some 

 sheltered and sunny situation. The trees 

 must be pruned at the season directed for 

 trained trees in a Peach house. 



Peach and Nectarine trees bear abun- 

 dantly, and the fruit is generally of a very 

 rich flavour, by being planted out as stand- 

 ards in the middle of a house. The soil and 

 border should be prepared, as already di- 

 rected for open walls; and the trees must be 

 pruned, watered, &c. as directed for trees 

 against open walls, also leaving the bearing 

 shoots, so far apart, that they will not rub 

 against one another.
