PEACH TREES 



Everybody delights in the flavor of a fine, juicy Peach. They succeed best on high 

 dry and well-drained soil. They are borne on wood of the previous season's growth, 

 and it is essential that they be pruned some every season. Keep your trees in good 

 shape and you will be repaid with good fruit. It takes but a short time for them to 

 come into bearing. Only the very best varieties are listed below. 



4 to 5 feet-
