Where to Plant Peach Trees.

Years ago the peach was thought tc
be tender tree, needing the utmost
degree of protection. 1t was planted,
therefore, in the most sheltered spots
on the south side of buildings and
windbreaks, or hidden away among 9th
err trees. That method has been CON-
pletely revolutionized because the buds
are liable to expand during periods of
mild weather in winter, and suffer dam
age in subsequent freezes. In addition
the trees themselves, by reason of their
sheltered location, are less likely to
ripen their wood after a season's growth
in time to be perfectly dormant when
winter sets in. Peaches are now planted
on the north side of buildings and wind
breaks or in any exposed situation.
