The Peach CrOp.

The peach crop is now believed to
have been somewhat injured by the al
formations of heat and cold during the
latter part of February, and although
somewhat early in the season, the grow
ers speak with an air of positiveness
about the subject. They claim to have
made thorough examinations of their
orchards, and to give this expression of
opinion as the result of such examina-
tons. In the lower part of the PENN
sula the buds have blossomed, or as
many of them as are alive, and while
there is an ocular proof of blight, there
is yet hope that the crop will be a
heavy one. In this latitude the buds
are much swollen, and far enough to
determine their vitality. The Moore's
variety is said to be almost entirely
killed. Crawford's early, Crawford's
late, and Old Mixon-all favorite varie-
ties-are said to have sustained great
damage There is this much in the
whole matter which may be accepted as
,eliable: Many of the peach buds have
,een killed, but unless there should
'ome after this some more fatal blight,
he crop will be an average one.-BaH. /
