Connecticut Peaches.

A Singular Peach Tree Disease That Is
Highly Outrageous Protecting the
Trees Against Frost, Storms and In
sects.
Twenty years ago, or even less, peach
growing was an industry of no little magni-
tude in the Connecticut valley, just as tobac-
co growing is now. The fruit was large,
handsome and of excellent flavor equalling
if not SURPRISING the best fruit of Maryland
or Delaware. The principal reason for this
WIS the short life of the trees. Five years of
bearing was about the average, and then the
orchard had to be replanted. Unless the
grower possessed land enough to keep from
1000 to 1, 800 trees in bearing all the time
he would lose three years between the
death of the old trees and the time the
new trees came into full bearing. For
several years Mr.. William Plat, of
Newtown, has had peach orchard
in full bearing. He saw there was
money in the cultivation of the fruit, and
began to demonstrate the truth Of his ideas.
He succeeded so well that he attracted much
attention from fruit growers, and among
others of MIR. Oliver M. Crosby, the special
reporter for Fairfield county of the agricul-
tural department, who has near Danbury,
near Lake Kenosha, one of the largest peach
orchards in the Stste. He has now !. 500
trees growing, set ten feet apart
The New York San gives description of
Mr.. Crosbys methods, and says
deadly enemy to the peach tree is the
| peach borer. Borers will kill tree in two
seasons. gentleman in Georgetown,
Conn.,, last season discovered one of the pa
rents of these pests just emerging from a
| peach tree, and caught it. He preserved it
| in alcohol, and many fruit growers went to
see it. It is winged insect, similar in APP
pearance to wasp. 1t takes advantage Of
| any knot, scar, excrescence on the tree to
deposit It's eggs. From the egg is Matched
| the borer in the shape of worm The
Georgetown man in trying to devise RENE
| dy, hit upon the of fine woven wire
| cloth. He takes piece four by six
| inches, and setting it on the ground
| wraps it tightly about the
| trunk, that ii reaches up about six
| inches then he ties piece of Irvine around
I it to make it retain its shape. AS the tree
grows the Irvine is broken, but the wire pro-
| tector remains close to the bark, expanding
as the trunk increases in size This has
proved SO far an effectual barrier against the
pests
The worst disease to which the peach trees
are subject and which annually kill MILL ms
| of trees in Maryland, Delaware and V rginia,
/ is called the ''yellows," from the appearance
| of the tree. It is said to be caused by poor
| SOIL and to follow the weakening of the
| tree by too heavy crops. The nature of the
| disease is not exactly known. 1t has been
] proved, however, that it is highly con-
Morning journal and courier., 1882-08-07

Ntagious. 1t is said that in outing down
and roofing out a tree suffering from
this disease, it should not be allowed
to touch healthy tree, for by the contact of
diseased branch the blight may be COM
munlcated. 1t is also carried all over an
orchard by the pruning knife. When a tree
IL IN the first stages of the disease, fine
needle like branches grow out from the
| trunk and main limbs. cure is said to be
effected by. putting coal or wood ashes
around the base of the tree in liberal quaint
ties. Prevention is better than cure, how
ever, and 1t Is prevented by keeping the tree
| healthy, and by good feeding.
Yet another danger to peach trees in this
latitude Is the liability of the trees to bios
som too early, and the subsequent blasting of
| the blossoms by the early cold storms. The
| means of preventing this, Mr. Crosby
afdrms, is to keep the frost in the ground as
| long as possible. He effects this by heavy
mulching and coal ashes.
| Some growers allow the trees to bear all
the fruit they will, under the notion of the
| more fruit the more money. This is against
the theory of Mr.. Crosby. His plan is to al
low the fruit to set, and as soon as 1t becomes
| the size of a small walnut he picks off the
outside sets. This throws the strength OF
| the tree into the remaining sets, which be
come as large as two ordinary peaches and Of
better favor, and consequently command 6
higher price.
! LIZ MT CrOSuyS pIeCopI
are: Keep the tree as short possible, mo-
over eight or ten feet at the outside; keel
the branches pruned so as to render then
short and stocky; when the fruit is nearl,
ripened mulch the trees heavily to keep il
the moisture in the hot, dry months and thu
frost in the spring; until the trees are three
years old cultivate by planting sweet corn
grain crops are highly injurious; after tn
third year keep the ground open and soft b,
the use of the plough or hoe. When tn
fruit is gathered, he says one advantage o
having low, stocky trees will be seen. TIL
, fruit is more easily picked, and hand-picke'
= peaches only are worth marketing.
, The varieties Mr.. Crosby recommends are
for the first early crop, the Waterloo, and
new peach known as Briggs Red May; TO
7 the second early crop, the Alexander, AIMS
, den and Foster. The latter is the larges
, peach grown here. For staple varieties tn
, Nixon, Morris White and Stump are tn
best. The latest to ripen is the Smock.
