SELECT PEACHES 



To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points must be well attended 

 to in peach culture : 1st. Keep the ground clean and mellow around the trees, and give it an occasional 

 dressing of wood ashes. 2d. Keep the heads low — the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. 

 3d. Attend regularly every spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year's growth. 

 This keeps the head round, full, and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one- 

 half, and strong ones one-third; but see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds. Sickly and super- 

 fluous shoots should be cut clean out. 



It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is produced on v)ood of the last season' s growth , and hence 

 the necessity of keeping up a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree. 



Note. — In planting peaches, it is of the highest importance to cut back the trees severely. The stem 

 should be reduced about one-third and the side branches cut back to one bud. This lessens the demand 

 upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push more vigorously. Most failures in newly planted 

 orchards may be ascribed to a non-observance of these directions. 



Grade. We offer but one grade of Peach trees, first-class or No. 1, viz. : on Peach stock, average about 

 4 to 5 ft. in height.
