Peach Trees 



Everybody delights in the flavor of a fine, juicy peach. They succeed best on high, 

 dry and well-drained soil, and are a sure crop if planted on northern or western exposure. 



Peaches are borne on wood of the previous season's growth, and it is essential that 

 they should be pruned some almost every season to let in light and air and remove dry 

 branches. Keep your trees in good shape. The ground should not be seeded, but kept 

 in good cultivation. Fertilize with some go 3d soiling crop — oats, rye or cow peas, plow- 

 ing it under while green. Wood ashes, if you can get them, not piled up around the t ees, 

 but scattered well, are a good fertilizer. 



It takes but a short time for them to come into bearing. Keep the trees in good shape 

 and you will be well repaid with good crops of fine fruit.
