The ground must be well-drained and kept clean and mellow. 
Give them an occasional dressing of wood ashes. Placed around 
the body of the tree is sure protection against invasion of the 
peach borer. 
Young trees should be well mulched every spring. If a heavy 
aulch is placed about the trees after the ground is frozen, it 
will retard the growth in early spring, and often insure a crop 
of fruit. Keep the tree in good shape and you will have splendid 
returns.
