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. 
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 rather severely, cut all side branches to 6 to 
8 inches 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. 
Borers which live right below the ground line and frequently girdle 
the trunk should be removed annually. A new chemical, Paradichloro- 
benzine (PDB) may be used to control this pest. Our orchard growing 
and nursery experience is always at your service. Write us your ques- 
tions and we will try to help you.
