Oar Grange Trees.


Il Is clearly evident at this time
that all the orange trees are dead, at
least as far down as the gound was
frozen, and perhaps, in many instances
they arc entirely dead. There are,
however, some old, large trees that
may sproat from the roots and grow
again. The tenacity Of the orange
tree is clearly evidenced by the length
of time consumed before the actual
extent Of the injury done by the
severe cold Of last January could be
determined. The conflicting reports
also show how bard il was to deter
mine just what bad been done. Our
report. was based upon The appear
ance of the trees above ground as
were perhaps, those Of many of our
friends who believed that only the
previous pears growth had been de-
stroyed.
