PEACHES. 



IS 



Plant 13 feet apart each may — 134 trees per acre ; on sandy so//, 15 feet apart— 193 ire$S per mere. 

 The best soil for peaches is a sandy loam, and trees should not be planted npon 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 bein<r 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 from weeds. Unleached wood ashes and pure 

 ground bone are the proper fertilizers for the peach, and are best applied broadcast in spring and har- 

 rowed in. All varieties are freestones

EVERBEARING PEACH. 



Especially adapted for family use, and every home 

 garden should have it. The remarkable feature of it is its 

 long-continued bearing period; beginning to ripen early in 

 July and producing successive crops until the beginning of 

 September, when fruit in all stages of development is upon 

 the tree. The long period of blossoming, too, is another val- 

 uable feature, since it prevents a complete failure of the 

 crop, as often happens to other varieties, from late frosts. 

 The fruit itself is unexcelled in quality, of a beautiful 

 creamy white, mottled and striped with pink, rather oblong 

 in shape and tapering to a point at the apex ; flesh white, 

 veined with red near the skin, tender, very juicy, vinous, and 

 of superior flavor; a freestone of the Indian type. In size, 

 those of the first ripening are large — about 3 l 4 inches by 3 

 inches broad; the second and succeeding crops diminish 

 gradually in size until the last ripening are about 2 inches in 

 diameter. This unique variety has been full}' tested for the 

 past five years, and its great value and long season of fruit- 

 ing fully established. A single tree that will give a supply 

 of fine juicy peaches in succession for nearly three months is 

 indeed an acquisition. Price, first class trees, by freight or 

 express, or small trees by mail, ea., 25c; doz., $2.50"; 100, 

 $15.00. 



CHERRIES.

 class Dukes or Morrellos or "sour cherries" in habit of tree and growth than in fruit. The trees of the sweet class are to be 

 preferred for shade, for which purpose they are excellent.
