Peaches 
A home garden without Peaches? Can you imagine such a thing? Just think 
what you are missing—tluscious 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 otter transplanting. Plant only in weil 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 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.
