Pruning Peaches.

When the experienced grower would
transplant peach tree from the nursery
row to a permanent place in his orchard or
garden, he prefers that it shall not be
more than one year old, and he lops away
all the branches, leaving the stem only, and
even this he cuts off at the top fourth or
third, according as he wishes the tree to
have high or a low head. Thus
the young tree stands a mere cane,
and it proceeds to clolhe itself with new
set of side laterals so evenly distributed
that, with little aid from the owner dur
ing the second and third years, it will form
well shaped head. No time is lost by
this heroic treatment, for it has been proved
that crop ofiruit is secured just as speed
lily. and often sooner, than in cases
where the branches were all retained at the
time Of transplaptlng.
In lS47 the late Andrew Downing warm
~ advocated the shortening-in process
with peach trees-that is, while they are
making their growth of wood-the second,
third and fourth year--in the spring
Of each year the growth of the
previous season should be cut back
from one-third to one-half This, he
maintained, would strengthen the branches
and at the same time bring ali the trees
into well.rounded shape. On this point
many of the largest peach growers in New
jersey and Delaware acted but the system
is now very generally abandoned in these
states, for the reason thatit imposes anextra
amount of labor, for which growers find no
adequate return. In place Of it they now,
after the first seasons growth, go through
the orchard once year, and thin out the
branches where they are too crowded, and
remove all the dead or weak twigs on those
that remain. 10 raise fine specimens OF
peaches the head of tree must be left
open enough to give free admission of sun
and air. This thinning may be done stimuli
taneously with the worming" in spring
until the trees are in blossom, or in fall
after the fruit is gathered.
