AN experienced fruit grower brings to
our Office buds from the fruit trees of
this section, which calls for modifi-
cation of the supposition which has pre-
vailed for some time, that there was no
prospect for crop. Among them were
several sprigs of peach, fairly well filed
with blossoms and strong buds. If the
theory which has been accepted for
years among fruit growers that temper
ature lower than ID degrees below zero
killed peach buds were true there would
not be II blossom in this region this cur
rent year but in all localities around here,
favorable and unfavorable, upland and
vale, the trees have more or less blossoms
which are coming out in very satisfac-
tory condition. They do not promise a
fair crop, but will probably yield quar-
ter of the average, giving Mt least a good
home supply. Five days from now
there will be good showing
of peach blossoms. The pear trees are
giving excellent promise, rare varieties
being already perfectly white. The
same may be said of cherries, of both
sweet and sour varieties. Apples, so
far as observed, are not injured 10y the
lrosts. This is the off-year for apples,
and ordinarily there would be almost no
crop; but the trees are astonishing ev-
erybody this year by putting out "A show
of blossoms. We have this from parties
who can be entirely relied upon, and
who have been over the field extensively.
I'm grapes, the staple varieties here-the
Hartfords, Concords and Delawares-
are in good condition, so far as observa-
tons have been the Concords are not at
all isjured the Dela@ares have suffered
some, but will have a full crop left. The
enormous fruit resources of Michigan
were never displayed to better advant-
age than by this showing. after passing
