PROSPECTS OF FRUTT-The winter has been
favorable for good prospects OF fruit If no late nip
ping frost comes, the tender germs will have good
season. We have just examined the peach buds at
different parts Of the country, and find them to be, in
almost every casc,.green and vigorous. The apple
buds not sufficiently developed to judge of their
condition. but we found those having orchards look
