"cut back" peach trees for planting
Good trees can be formed when cut
back to eighteen inches. but anything
more sever than this IN not TO be rec
commended. Trees headed three feet
aud higher are al a disadvantage from
the beginning and In exposed locations
are likely to be whipped about and
loosened from the soil by the wind. II
the trees are well branched and OF
medium TO large grades the side
branches should be cut back to about
three inch stubs rather than cutting
the trees to a whip, as the buds upon
the well developed side branches are
usually stronger than the buds upon
the trunk and win make q better start.
The lighter grades Of trees with only
weak side branches will OF necessity
be pruned to whips. At the same time
that the top is cut back all injured
and broken roots should be cut
smooth Peach trees grown upon deep
soils sometimes have long taproots.
These can be cut back to SIX or eight
inches without injuring the trees, and
It makes the setting much easier.

dence also that the guilty soldiers said
they would place the blame on the Penn
