Catalogue of Fruits— Peaches. 
19 ; 
The Yellows, so fatal to the Peach tree in most of the Eastern and Southern Peach districts, is 
unknown here, except in rare cases, where it has been introduced with Eastern -grown trees. It 
every man's dutv to guard with the utmost care, against this malady. Trees should be procured 
only from such sources as are known to be healthy, and entirely free from the yellows. Where a 
tree shows symptoms of this disease, it should be immediately destroyed. The symptoms are — 
premature ripening of the fruit, and the changing of the color of the leaves, to a pale, sickly yellow. 
The Peach Worm is the only obstacle here, and it is easily overcome, as it affects only the bark 
just at the surface of the ground. Where its presence is suspected, the earth should be removed 
from the base of the tree, the worm traced out and destroyed, the affected part scraped clean 
wiib a knife, and the earth replaced. If this be done in the form of a hillock, a few inches higher 
than the scrfuce of the ground, it is easier removed afterwards. This should be done once or twice 
a year, until no trace of the worm is visible. A shovel full of ashes placed around the tree every 
spring and allowed to remain all summer, is found to keep off the worm. Ashes are favorable to 
the growth of the peach tree. 
Soil. — The best soil for the Peach, is a deep mellow, and somewhat sandy loam. It also does 
well on light, sandy soil. Clayey, moist soils are not at all suitable. 
Culture. — The ground should be k<pt well cultivated, and in good condition. The trees should 
not be pruned up to bigb naked trunks, but allowed to branch from within three or four feet of the 
ground. See general remarks on Pruning. — Page 6. 
Distance. — The proper distance in orchards, is twenty to twenty-five feet apart, or about one 
hundred trees to an acre.
