The peach crop in Delaware ispow believed
to be somewhat injured by the alterations of
heatand cold during the latter part of Feb
ruary, and although somewhat ca.ly in the
season, the growers speak with M air of
positiveness on tho subject They claim to
have made through examinations Of their
orchards, The Moore's variety is said to be
almost entirely killed, and Crawford's Early,
Crawford's Latc and Old Mixon-all favorite
varieties-are said to have sustained great
damage, There is much in the whole matter
which may be accepted as reliable. Many of
the peach, buds have been killed, but unless
there s.oald come fatal bliglts, the crop will
be an average one.
