The question of profitable nea~h
growing is largely a question of iudi-
cions fertilization. There are soma
favored localities where the soil il so

the exception. and are generally fonn.l
in low bottom lands where peaches 81
the finest ilavor are not usually grown.
High aud dry localities well fertilixed
usually give the most satisfactory re.
suits. It must be remembered that
the peach needs abundaat potash and
a moderate supply of phosphorie aeil
and nitrogen. Hnmus muas also be
present IN the soil Ia fair proportions.
Both these two latter materials. Il de-
