famous South Mountain fruit farm, near
Edgemont, Washington county, Md,
stated TO the editor of the lIagerstown

done TO his fruit by the frosts of this
spring. The frosts have tended rather to
benefit than to harm, in properly thin
ming the trees OF supcriluous buds that
would, naturally rob the trees of GER
tain proportion of strength. His expert
ence, which has served him well, cncour-
ages him in the belief that his crop will he
one of the best for years. His farm en-
braces about one hundred and thirty
acres. nearly all OF which is in state OF
fruit cultivation. lie has about 10000
peach trees under his care, about 800
plum trees, about G,000 choice grape
vines. and . large number of apricot
trees. He has been successful with his
farm, even in seasons when older growers
were rewarded with failure, and lie finds
ready sale for all of his productions ut the
highest market prices.
