Peaches. 
The peach requires a well drained soli. A warm sandy or gravelly loam Is 
well suited to preserve a healthy growth and should be fertilized and kept In 
cultivation. Ashes, potash and bone are excellent fertilizers, though the tree will 
respond generously to any fair dressing 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 bruised 
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.
