( All observers know how hardy the tree and how .sound and good the peaches are when an isolated tree in a fence corner, here and there, is left to itself. The reasons are obvious. A ^ fence row. particularly an old one. enriches the ground by shading and keeping down the growth of grass and weeds I'nder the lower rails the ' ground lies fallow. It is black and rich, sweet smelling and friable. Trees | in the fence corners naturally spread I their roots under this mellow strata. ' | They feed on it the year round. Then j on e: ii side of a fence the ground is ' I getter: ily trodden or walsed over out ! s i:u-' iittle distance from the tree's * | foothold. cenv..,juently cureulio are I destroyed, i hey have a poor chance to deposit their larvae in the soil, as it 1 is trodden and hard.
