28 TIl£ LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J, 



PEACHES. 



Plant 18 feet apart, 134 trees per acre. On sandy land plant 15 feet apart each way. 

 The best soil for peaches is a sandy loam, and trees should not be planted upon soil where the water stands 

 near or upon the surface. Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nui'sery and make the soil verj- firm. AU 

 Bide branches should be cut back to within a few inches of the main stem, the latter being severed at about two- 

 thirds the distance from the ground. The after cultm-e is simple, beiug merety to keep the surface always mel- 

 low and free of weeds. Unleached wood ashes and pm-e ground bone are the proper fertilizers for the peach, and 

 are best applied broadcast in spring and harrowed in. AU varieties are freestone except those noted otherwise.
