Pruning Peach trees in our Nursery. Mr. G. A. Harrison in the foreground 



THE PEACH 



The Peach has been a specialty with us for years, and the particular attention that we have given to develop- 

 ing extra-quality trees, together with our favorable soil and climate, have enabled us to produce some notable 

 results. At present our stock numbers about 3,000,000 trees, grown from best natural pits and budded from trees 

 in our experimental orchards (see illustration on page 10) . 



This orchard, containing about 10,000 bearing trees, is under our careful watch year after year, and we 

 know that buds taken from it are not only clean and vigorous, but also strictly true to name Here we try out 

 new varieties before offering them for sale, and thus we are perfectly sure about the quality of our Peach trees. 



Peach trees will thrive in almost any kind of soil, and bear largely according to the attention given them. 

 Plant the trees 16 to 20 feet apart each way, and keep the ground in the orchard well worked, so as to 

 hold plenty of moisture about the roots. During the first few years, light crops, such as Strawberries, may be 

 grown between the rows, but as the trees get larger this should be discontinued.
