PEACHES 



The Peach tree requires a well-drained, moder- 

 ately rich soil — a warm sandy loam is best. 



In order to preserve the continued healthy growth 

 of the trees and the fine quality of the fruit, the trees 

 should have the shoots and branches shortened every 

 year, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head, with 

 plenty of young wood. 



Examine the trees carefully and extract and de- 

 stroy the borer. Use potash manures liberally.
