BAKER NURSERIES 
as the tree is planted 3 to 4 inches thick, and 3 to 4 feet in diameter, 
should be applied, but the earth should be well pressed about the 
trees before applying the mulching. 
PRUNING.—Cut back one-third to one-half of last season’s 
growth, and one-year-old peach to almost a bare stock, and headed 
back to the desired height, for forming the top; the buds on the body 
of the peach tree will make a better growth and form a better top 
than if the side branches are left on. It is not advisable to do this 
close pruning until just before the buds start in the spring. Remove 
the labels before the trees begin to grow.
