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 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 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 m spring and harrowed in. All varieties are freestone except those noted otherwise. 



Note. A special pamphlet upon the Peach, giving an essay upon Peach Culture by our J. T. Lovett, and 

 much other valuable information, will be mailed free to all applicants.
