Vladimir cherry, % Natural Size. 
The growing of this valuable fruit for both 
home and market purposes cannot be too 
strongly urged. It far exceeds the apple in its 
melting juicy texture, rich refined flavor, and 
the range of varieties is such that by a judicious 
selection, the ripening season beginning in July 
can be continued in succession into winter.

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 shortened every year or two, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head; and the land should not be 
seeded to grass, but kept in constant cultivation. 
Our trees are all grown from Tennessee natural pits, free from insects, perfectly healthy, well ripened wood with splendid 
roots stored in frost-proof cellars beyond injury during the winter.
