Directions for Cultivating the Peach.— 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 cld trees, 18 x 18 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 t hese 
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 meal to two parts of acid phosphate. Apply one and one-half to two pounds to each tree. 
After the third year avoid nitrogenous fertilizers and use a fertilizer containing a good percentage of bone phosphate and potash. 
Prune every year by cutting off one-third to one-half oft he 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 l>e cultivated for at 
least two years before setting the trees, otherwise woodlice will iniure the peach trees. In preparing orchard land plow deep, if 
necessary subsoil. Cow peas drilled in two feet apart, leaving at least four feet on each side of the trees, is the best crop to grow 
in a peach orchard. Cultivate frequently and in February or March turn under the cow peas. When the orchard begins to bear 
it should have clean cultivation. After the cow peas have been turned under all subsequent cultivations can be done with a har¬ 
row and cultivator. After the fruit is harvested drill in peas for a cover crop. 
To prevent brown rot see page 5 for directions. (Never spray when a tree is in bloom.)
