DEPENDABLE NURSERY STOCK 
PEACHES 
A home garden without Peaches? Can you imagine such a thing! Just think what 
you are missing—luscious fruit from late June to mid-October if you select an early 
a midseason, and a late. One tree of each is better than none, but if you have space, 
plant five of each class. For a commercial orchard you need a special selection and 
several varieties—better write and ask our advice. 
d PLANTING AND CARE 
The Peach is the quickest maturing of fruit trees, often bearing the second year 
after transplanting. Plant only in well drained soil but otherwise follow methods 
recommended for other fruit trees. 
When planting, prune very severely, removing all side branches to short stubs and 
head low. The tree gets top-heavy if allowed to develop a high head. Subsequent 
orchard pruning consists of shortening the terminal growth and keeping the tree 
compact and shapely. 
The borer which hibernates right below the ground line and frequently girdles the & 
trunk should be removed annually. A new chemical, Paradichlorobenzine (PDB) may § 
be used to control this pest. Our orchard growing and nursery experience is always 
at your service. Write us your questions and we will try to help you.
