NOTE—A most: xcelient way in planting an apple orchard 20 feet apart 
is to plant peaches in between. By the time the apples require the ground the 
peaches will have passed their prime, und can be removed. 
Peaches. 
This is one of our specialties. We grow them by the million. The peach 
tree requires a weil drained, moderately rich soil, a warm sandy loam brobably 
best. To preserve the continued healthy growth of the trees and the fruit, the 
trees should have the shoots and branches shoriened every year so as to preserve 
a round and vigorous head with plenty of young wood, and the land should 
not be seeded to crass, bué kept in constant cultivation in hoed crops. Unleach- 
ed wood ashes and pure ground tone are the best fertilizers. 
Owing to the greatly increased demand for the Peach, due to the opening 
of new sections for early market growth in ithe South, as well as the develop- 
ment of the canning and evaporating interests, this fruit will no doubt contin- 
ue to be exceedingly profitable to the orchardist who gives the business proper 
attention, and has a suitable location for his orchard. We try to grow the 
best and not the cheapest.
