We propagate our Peach trees from buds taken from the best bearing trees. We, therefore, know our 
trees to be true to name, perfectly healthy, free from disease, and first-class in every respect. We do not 
grow cheap or inferior Peach trees. 
Directions for Cultivating. —A sandy loam is best suited to the Peach, but it will adapt itself to 
almost any soil, provided it is well drained. Plant one-year-old trees 18x18 feet; cut the trees back to 18 to 
24 inches, as it is always best to have a low-headed tree. In the 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 cotton seed or bone 
meal to two parts of acid phosphate. Apply 1 to 2 pounds to each tree. After the third year, avoid nitro¬ 
genous fertilizers and 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 two 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 square, or, better 
yet, 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 two feet apart, leaving four or more feet on each side of the trees, 
so as to have ample room 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 cultivation, but as soon as the 
fruit is harvested drill in peas for a cover-crop and turn this under as above directed.

soils, less so in light soils; flesh greenish white, very

ably prolific and bears very young. In many sec¬

for home use and market.
