The peach requires a well drained soil, a 
warm sandy or gravelly loam is well suited to 
preserve a healthy growth, and should be fertil- 
ized and kept in cultivation. Ashes, potash, 
and bone are excellent fertilizers, though the 
tree will respond excellently to any fair dress- 
ing material. Each year’s growth should be 
shortened after the wood is ripe, to make the 
tree stronger, better shape and more vigorous. 
In trimming trees to plant use a sharp knife, 
cut all briused roots off, making a clean cut. 
Trim side limbs off three inches from tree; cut 
tree off about three feet from the bud or ground 
according to the height you like.
