Default Question about fruit tree spray...

I'm new to growing fruit trees so bear with me please. These trees have been in the ground for about 2 1/2 years. Last year they bloomed well but no fruit because of it's youth. This year I have a few on each tree.
I have 2 peach, 2 apple, one pear(new), one cherry(new).

The pics are of a July Elberta peach and Red Delicious apple, both from Stark's Bros.

I bought a bottle of Bonide Fruit Tree Spray that controls Insects and Diseases. When rerading the spray chart, it reconmends spraying after 1st cover, and 2nd cover. What does this mean? They haven't been sprayed at all this year but want to get into a rythym with them. My lable is torn and I can't read it properly.

Can I start spraying on two week intervals now? There are no signs of bugs or disease going on right now. All look as healthy as can be.

Thanks for your help,

Greg
