PEACHES 
The peach requires 
a well drained soil, a 
warm sandy or gravel- 
ly loam is well suited 
to preserve a healthy 
growth, and should be 
fertilized and kept in 
cultivation. Ashes, pot- 
ash, and bone are ex- 
c e 1 1 e n t fertilizers, 
though the tree will *re- 
spond excellently to 
any fair dressing mat- 
terial. Each years 
growth should be short- 
ended 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 ft., from the bud or ground according to the height 
you like.
