An Early Spring.

To the Editor Of The Press:
The earliest elms blossomed this year on
April 18th. The earliest have heretofore
noticed have been in 1884, April 10th, and In
1878, April 2lst. The latest 1873, May 18th.
1t will be noticed that the range Is about
month, and the average would fall before the
middle of April. This season, therefore, the
elms are eight days earlier than the earliest
noted, and full fortnight earlier than the
average. ADAM NEwBEGIN.
