PEACHES AND NECTARINES 173
will the future of the tree be jeopardised, but only medium fruits will be obtained. The number of fruit a healthy tree can carry depends on its size, but in most peaeh houses sixty on a tree would be a good crop. When quite small the fruit may be thinned the first time, but a final thinning should not be undertaken until after the stones have been formed, for duiing this critical period many are liable to drop off. The fruit should be spaced out all over the tree, not for appearance only but to preserve the balance of the tree.
The trees should never want for water during the whole of their career. The best periods for watering are im-mediately on starting the trees, when the fruit begins to swell after stoning, just before colouring begins and immediately after all the fruit has been gathered.
It remains to be added that the best varieties of nectarines are Cardinal, Lord Napier, Stanwick Einige, Spencer and Violette Hative. Among peaches may be recommended Bellegarde, Sea Eagle, Royal George, Grosse Mignonne, Hale's Early and Dymond.
