PEACHES. 
The peach tree requires a well drained, moderately rich soil— a warm, sandy loam is 
probably the best. 
In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the trees and the fine quality of 
the fruit, the trees should have the shoots and branches shortened every year, so as to 
preserve a round, vigorous head with plenty of young wood ; and the land should not be 
seeded to grass, but kept in constant cultivation. 
The following have been selected after an examination of more than one hundred 
sorts in bearing, the best only being chosen. Prices arc as follows, except where noted.
