THE LOVETT COMFAXY, LITTLE SILVER, N 



PEACHES. 



Plant IS feet apaii: each ivay. 134 trees per acre. On sandy land plant 15 feet apart each icay. 

 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 sui'face. Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nursery and make the soil very Ann. All 

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

 thii'ds the distance from the ground. The after culture is simple, being merely to keep the surface always mel- 

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

 ai-e best applied broadcast in spring and harrowed in. All varieties ai'e freestone except those noted otherwise.
