This is our specialty* Being the largest growers of Peach Treas in the World, and shipping to all parts of the United States as we do, they have gained for us a National reputation among fruit growers, which is equaled by no other nursery*. Our trees are grown from natural seed collected in the mountainous districts of East Tennessee, where the " Yellows " are never known, and where the Peach has always grown with the greatest vigor ; the trees attaining a great age. and bearing until they arrive at a superannuated condition. No tree is as healthy, and cannot be as long lived when grown from a pit that comes of a diseased tree. Delaware and Maryland now have so much disease in their Peach trees that it is not safe to take pits from their orchards to propagate other trees. In the orchard the Peach will not succeed without careful culture ; but for family use, set around or near bui)dings, in sheltered nooks, will live much loDger and give greater satisfaction, and, singularly enough thrive better if the ground about them is not disturbed. Be sure that the soil is well supplied with potash. Muriate of potash is the most desirable form to apply. Wood ashes may be used to a good purpose if readily obtainable. Bone dust and potash are best fertilizers. Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nursery and make the soil very firm. It is very important that the young tree should be properly pruned at the time of planting. All side branches should be cut back to within half an inch of the main stem, the latter being severed at about two-thirds the distance from the ground.
