With the large assortment of early, medium and late varieties, the product of an orchard can be taken care of at small expense. A few trees in every garden adds to the household pleasure, and will well repay for the small outlay. Attend regularly every Spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous j-ear's growth. This keeps the head round, full and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back one-half, and strong ones one-third ; but see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds. Sickly and superfluous shoots should be cut out clean. It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is produced on wood of the last season's growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree. Peaches should be so planted in Spring only ; the trees grow late in Autumn, so that the sap is in full circulation until the season is too far advanced for transplant- ing.
