SELECT PEACHES 



To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points 

 must be well attended to in peach culture : — 1st. Keep the ground clean and mellow 

 around the trees, and give it an occasional dressing of wood ashes. 2d. Keep the . 

 heads low— the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. 3d. Attend regularly *■ 

 every spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year's growth. 

 This keeps the head round, full and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak 

 shoots back about one-half, and strong ones one-third; but see that you have a sufti- 

 cient supply of fruit buds. Sickly and superfluous shoots should be cut out clean. 



It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is borne on wood of the last sea- 

 son's growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good supply of vigorous an- 

 • nual shoots all over the tree. The Plum stock is advantageous only in stifi clay, cold 

 and damp soils. ^ ^ ^- \ 



Price of Trees ^4, cents each. On Plum stocks one year, "^ cents each.
