PEACHES 
The ease with which Peach trees may be cultivated, their comparative 
freedom from disease, the short period before they become productive, with 
the immense demand for the fruit, and the facility 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 borne on wood of the previous 
season's growth, and that this makes it absolutely nece.ssary to prune the 
trees yearly, to remove dead branches, to let in light and air, and to keep 
the trees in good shape to producfe bearing wood.

fully cultivates an orchard of 100 acres of Peaches alone. This booklet is of 
great value to any one interested in Peach Culture. Mailed to all applicants. 
New Hardy Pe ach, CUftOH Park 
This wonderful new seedling originated with Wm. Palmer, of Saratoga Co. , 
N. Y. Entered in the seedling class at New York State Fair in 1897, was 
awarded first premium over all others, on account of its delicious quality and 
handsome appearance . We were attracted by its appearance at that time, and 
in August, '98, we visited Mr. Palmer, and again found a fair crop of fine 
fruit on same tree, while we failed to find any peaches at all in the neighbor- 
hood save these. We were led to believe that in point of hardiness, as well 
as quality and appearance, it would be desirable to propagate it, and have 
therefore arranged with Mr. Palmer for the exclusive control of this new 
peach. 
Its points of superiority are: 
Hardiness, fine flavor, handsome appearance, enorfnous/y productive (hav- 
ing borne three successive crops). Sold at $3.00 per bushel. 
Absolutely free stone when fully ripe ; good size, creamy white, with fine 
red cheek; form nearly round, very juicy, with a rich flavor. A good shipper.

1900.
