J. W. Adams & Co. 4 Peaches 
PEACH TREES 
Peaches do well on land which is moderately rich and not wet. An 
annual dressing in the fall of wood ashes, slaked lirae or muriate of potash 
adds to the health, hardiness and productiveness of the trees. 
Those of our customers who buy and plant Peach trees every year con- 
sider it one of the best investments which they can make, a single good 
crop paying all expenses and a large profit besides. The cost of the trees 
is but a trifle, and the setting out is quickly done. They come early into 
bearing, and the market for home-grown Peaches, at good prices, is never 
one-half supplied. 
Peach Trees, when transplanted, should have all the branches cut back to 
within an inch of the body ; cut off then one foot of the top. On large orders, 
given early, we do this trimming, when requested, at an additional cost of one dol- 
lar per one hundred trees. In an orchard of more than 1,500 trees of the best grade, 
which we pruned before shipment, only 3 trees failed to grow. It is regarded as the 
premium orchard of the state. 
Small orders are pruned without expense, if requested.
