PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Pruning of Peach trees is an important mat- 
ter. At planting time cut back all branches to 
within l-inch from the main stem. This produces 
a new, dense crown. As soon as the new. 
branches are about 16 inches long, cut them 
back to 1 ft. length. During the following years 
give fast growing peach trees a summer prun- 
ing early in July, cutting off just the very ends 
of all new branches. This makes stouter 
branches, a stronger crown, and increases fruit 
production for the next year. Never cultivate 
around Peach trees after July.
