THE 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 nur- 

 sery 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 surface 

 always mellow 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. 



Note. A special pamphlet upon the Peach, giving an essay 

 uuon Peach Culture by our J. T. Lovett, and much other 

 valuable information, will be mailed free to all applicants. 



Our stock of Peach trees is simply superb; thrifty, healthy, vig- 

 orous, straight and handsome. We grow them in vast numbers 

 and are enabled to supply fine trees at low prices, surpassed by 

 none and equalled by very few. In growing the Peach we use 

 stones of natural Southern fruit only, procured from below the 

 "yellows" line, and grow our trees on land where Peach trees 

 have never grown before. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. All our trees, before ship- 

 ment, are thoroughly fumigated with hydrocy- 

 anic acid gas according to instructions furnished 

 by the Entomologist of the Experiment Station, as 

 a precaution against the San Jose scale.
