PEACHES 
_ The Peach tree requires a well drained, moderately 
rich soil, warm sandy loam is probably the best In 
order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the 
tree and the fine quality of the fruit, the peach should 
have the shoots and branches cut back to one-half the 
preceding season's growth every year, so as to preserve 
a round, vigorous head; this should be done the last of 
February or as early m the spring as practicable. 
Price, 1 year, 4 to 5 feet on peach root 35c each- 
$3.00 per 10; $20.00 per 100. ' '
