‘Teaches ^Bear the '•£>hird year 
Peaches come into bearing younger than any other tree fruit, 
under favorable conditions giving a crop the third year and 
yields are larger as the trees grow older. A few trees won’t cost 
as much as you probably pay for peaches in one year, and none 
are so delicious as those freshly picked when ripened on the tree. 
To the man who has room for a commercial orchard, and will 
cultivate, prune and take care of the trees, peaches offer great 
opportunities for good profits. A sandy loam or gravelly soil 
is best, but the peach adapts itself to almost any well drained 
soil. Sometimes they are planted 18x18, but 25x25, requir¬ 
ing 75 trees per acre, is better.

The only way for the average family to have all the fresh 
fruit they want is to grow their own. The home orchard 
should include an assortment from early to the late keepers. A 
good planting distance is 30x30 ft., requiring 48 trees per acre.
