APRICOTS - 
Apricots are best adapted for city gardens, or where trees 
are protected by buildings. They are delicious fruits, and, 
therefore, a little extra care should be given to protect the 
flowers from late spring frosts. The trees, when planted 
in orchards, seldom last long here, unless protected by 
timber or tall-growing fruit trees. Ripening period from 
about June 1 through July. Each 10

PEACHES 
A sandy loam is best suited to the Peach, but it will 
adapt itself to almost any soil, provided it is well-drained. 
Plant June buds or one-year-old trees 18 by 18 feet; cut 
back to 18 to 24 inches, to have a low-headed tree. In 
spring, after the growth has started, remove all but three 
branches and let these be distributed so that the tree will 
be well-balanced. For the first two years fertilize with 
well-decomposed barnyard manure, or a mixture of one 
part of cottonseed or bonemeal to two parts of Acid Phos¬ 
phate. Apply 1 y 2 to 2 pounds to each tree. After the 
third year use a fertilizer containing a good percentage 
of bone phosphate and potash, and a small percentage of 
nitrogen. Prune every year by cutting off one-third of 
the previous year’s growth. The head of the tree should 
be broad and open, so as to allow free circulation of light 
and air. Never plant newly cleared woodlands; such lands 
should be cultivated for at least tw r o years before setting 
the trees, otherwise wood-lice will injure them. 
In preparing orchard land, plow as deeply as possible, 
and then subsoil. Dig holes 2 feet, or use dynamite for 
making the holes. Cowpeas, soy beans, or velvet beans are 
excellent crops for planting between the trees; it is best 
to drill-in 2 feet apart, leaving 4 or more feet on each side 
of the tree for cultivation. Cultivate frequently, and in 
the late fall or early winter turn under the cover crop. 
When the orchard begins to bear it should have clean cul¬ 
tivation, but as soon as the fruit is harvested, drill in 
peas for a cover crop and turn this under as above directed.
