Peaches. 
The Peach tree requires a well- drained, moderately rich soil; a 
warm, sandy loam is probably best. 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 
in hoed crops. 
Admiral Dewey. 
Admiral Dewey is another triumph in the production of very early 
Peaches. There is no known very early variety that can compare 
with it in all the qualities that go to make a desirable early market 
Peach. Its introduction will mark as great an advance in early 
varieties as did the advent of the Triunmh, to which it is much su- 
perior. Admiral Dewey is a perfect freestone Peach, ripening 
with Triumph, but has better form, brighter color on the surface, is 
equally hardy and productive. The flesh is of uniform color and tex- 
ture to the pit. The tree is a strong, symmetrical grower and as near 
perfection as we can obtain in any one variety. Price, 1-year, 30 
cts. each, $3 per do/..; June buds, by mail, 25 cts. each, postpaid.
