THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



PEACHES. 



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

 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 nursery and make the soil very firm. All 

 side 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 culture is simple, being merely to keep the surf ace always mel- 

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

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