COUNCIL CHAMBER
May Z, 1850

FRurr-THE PRosrEcr. We observe by
the papers from various localities both south
and southwest, that the late cold weather
has nearly destroyed the prospect of peaches,
and other fine fruits. In this region, thus
far, the prospect of all kinds Of fruit was
never greater. Owing to the drought Of last
season, the peach trees did not make great
growth, but the wood was thoroughly ripened
and every bud has stood the winter. Pears
are equally promising the fruit dugs cover
the limbs, and the apple tee appears equ1l-
y prolific. The apple and pear, not having
The year past TO exhaust their energies in
producing fruit, have directed their vital
forces TO forming and perfeclng the bearing
dugs, which with them is an operation Of two
years while the peach, apricot and nectar
inc bear from the last years bud, and there
fore do not obey the law affecting the apple
and pear-bearing on alternate years.
On this first day of May, scarce blossom
has appeared, and Though we have known
The trees in full flower fourteen days earlier,
more than once.) this circumstance is es-
teemed favorable omen Of a prolific season
for fruit.
The above is from Moore's Rural New
Yorker, an excellent agricultural paper pub
lisl,ed in Rochester, New York. The same
remarks will apply to the prospect Of a frui,
crop in this vicinity.
