THE PEACH TREES As
A RULE HAVE NOT YET
BEEN UNCOVERED
From Tuesdays Daily.


While the peach crop in the Canon
City district is never very important,
it is always a matter of some public
interest to know the condition of the
trees at this season of the year. AS
rule those having peach orchards
in this vicinity cover the trees in the
fall to protect them during the win
ter months, and, as a result, some
times get remarkably fine fruit The
earth is dug away from one side of
the roots and the trees pulled over
and its top covered with stray and
trash little dirt being thrown upon
1t to hold 1t down. In this manner
the tenderer part of the trees are
protected from the frost and in
course of time the buds develop and
burst into bloom. They are kept
covered until about the first of June
when the tree is Strengthened up in
order that 1t may have the benefit of
the sunshine. Very few of the peach
trees have not yet been released from
their winter covering, but will be lift
ed into an upright position in the
course of the next ten days or two
weeks. Most of the peach trees left
without covering last winter were in
jured by the unusually low tempera-
ture and did not bloom this spring.
Those that were protected give prom
ise Of small yield.
