ITas often been asked. "How can I keep the bor- 
Peaih trees?" Go through your orchard, and 
Find gum on the surface of the bark, clean the dirt 
und "t, and with a knife or some sharp-pointed instru- 
Tollow up the worms and kill them; then throw around 
Tree a little lime or ashes. Attend to this two or three times 
luring the spring or summer, and you will keep your trees 
liealthy. as well as greatly extend their useful life. 
Peach-Borw Wash. Take one-half to three-quarters of a 
pound of. tobacco, plug or leaf, break or cut it up, and boil it 
well in about a gallon and a half of water, strain out the 
tobaeco, and to the liquid add a pint of salt, from a quarter- to a 
half-pound of carbolic soap, and enough freshly slaked lime to 
make a thick wash. 
Second Recoipt. Highly recommended, and we eonsider it 
the most effective. For a fifty-gailon <'a,sk. twenty-five pounds 
of caustic potash, three pounds of common white arsenie. two 
gallons of crude carbolic acid, with water, lime and clay enough 
to make a good, thick wash that will last on the trees three or 
tour months. 
Early in the spring scrape the dirt away from the trunk of 
the tree as de^p as the top roots, and with a paint or whitewash 
'nrush apply a coat of the above wash from a foot above th.: 
ground down to the roots. When dry. replace the soil it round 
I he trunk. Should a washing rain, during -the spring or early 
summer, dissolve or carry off this wash, it must be renewed. The 
•ibove is to be used as a preventive, not to destroy the I orer 
within the bark, but to i.revent the deposit of eggs by the bo'-er 
nioth during the spring and summer months. 
Peach, Plum, Apricot and Nectarine trees should all havt th- 
above care. To keep your fruit clear of worms, allow no fruit 
to drop and rot in your orchard. Keep enough hogs to eat it uc. 
Keep it picked up clean and give it to them, or let them r.in in 
the orchard and get it themselves as fast as it falls, thereby 
defLlroying both worms and eggs, and preventing an increase r> \i 
year. Rensonable attention in these matters will go far to a*:: are 
your sur-ccss in fruit-growing.

Peach growing regions except in the Gulf States. 
The Earlv Elberta originated with Dr. Summer 
Glea-son, of L'tah, who says: "Seedling of El- 
berta with all the characteristics of Its parent, 
stockj' growth of tree, thins itself, even size of 
fruit, long keeping and shipping, hardie.r, bet- 
ter quality, higher color, and a week earlier - 
going out as Elberta is coming in. As a can- 
ning Peach it has better flavor and color than 
th© regular Elberta, does not rag out, and uses 
less sugar. In size and shape being almost 
identical with Elberta, it passes on the market 
as an Elberta and the customer gets a better 
peach, the grower thereby getting the benefit 
of repeat orders. Season of ripening, fifty-two 
days after Mayflower and three days before El- 
berta. About same season as Crawford Early, 
Georgia Belle, and J. II. Hale.
