OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 
Peaches 
A home garden without Peaches? 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 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 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.
