ACCORDING to our exchanges, this has
been remarkable fruit year, in some re
spects. George W. Aiken, of rrov. has a
crsb-apple tree that has blossomed no less
than five times during the season. The
ordinary fruit ripened. The last four sets
of blossoms came from this years shoots.
In Hsrtland. second crop of red raspberries
has made its appearance in the fields and
quantities of them have been picked.
Strawberry blossoms have also been noticed
in the pastures. In Stowe, Holden Hodge,
lately picked some ripe, fresh Strawberries
in his meadow.
