DESCRIPTIVE 
The ease with which Pea- h trees 
may be cultivated, their compar- 
ative freedom trom disease, the 
short period before they become productive, with the im- 
mense demand for the fruit and the faciUty with which it 
may be shipped to distant markets, make Peach growing extremely 
profitable. To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees the ground 
must be kept clean and mellow, and it should receive an occasional 
dressing of wood ashes. It should be remembered that Peaches are 
all borneon wood of the previous season's growth, and that this makes 
it absolutely necessary to prune the trees yearly, to remove dead 
branches, to let in light and air, and to keep the trees in good shape 
to produce bearing wood.
