PEACHES AsD BERRIES.

Fine Peach Prospects-'rhe Result of n
Complete and Careful Investigation--
No Yeiiows as Het-The Buds Are Not
Swollen Yet.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
BRIpGEvILLE, March 19.-The prospect
for peach crop was seldom better at this
time OF the year. The indications are that
there will be full crop of the fruit-yet
there is one thing and u very serious one
that needs more than a passing thought
and that is the late frosts which have
more than once destroyed the blossoms as
late rs the middle of April.
But the grounds for this fear are moth
ing like SO prominent us many years
previous.
The past winter has been just what was
needed for the peach buds. They have
shown their hardness to withstand
weather that was Go to 50 below zero.
Although this weather had disastrous
effect on II few yellow varieties of the
fruit, the damage has been so slight as to
not effect the yield to any great extent.
a number of prominent peach growers
have been seen this week and have ex-
pressed their opinion that after Il careful
and complete investigation that they
found nearly all the buds alive and the
few injured being yellow fruit.
The disease known in peach culture rs
NN4lOWS lluo ilOl IlldNt ltS III
Sussex county, and 10 Is being seen that
this disease is dying ont in Kent county.
Not by reason as it would be supposed that
all the trees had fallen prey to this disease,
but it seems as though the disease is
gradually disappearing. Some attribute
this fact to the time and other fertilizers
that 1t is believed are antagonistic to the
disease germs.
Regardless of what causes the disap-
t,F thD NallpN,a IL hns hant, n
that peach orchards that are thriving in
northern Kent county now were set ont
three or four years ago on the same land
that once grew I'm orchard that was de.
stroyed by the yellows.
The one or two spring like days has not
had any effect on the buds, and they have
not swollen Il particle. but are in reality as
dormant rs they were three months ago.
| Even should the weather become unusually
warm it would be so late in april when
the trees became in bloom that the
| chances for a killing frost ut that time
| would he very meagre.
All other fruit crops promise we'll. If
any exception cNn be noted 1t is the black
berry crop.
The extreme cold weather of the past
| winter had q disastrous effect on the Wilson
variety of blackberres. Other varieties
are ,unharmed. The Wilson variety will
not be q complete failure though. rs many
OF the plants and buds were below the
snow during the cold weather and escaped
| the least damage,
The strawberry beds are looking un-
usually we'll and large crop IS assured.
The farmers aud truckers of this section
are giving extra attention to the growing
of Strawberries, Nearly half million
plants will be set out this spring. 100. OK
Of these plants will be new varietie:
brought here from other sections of the
country while the remaining plants will
be of standard varieties that have been

A GOOD SHOPPING.
Operations of the Trustees for the Sale
of tile Old Almsh0use Property.

THE GAZETTE. deeming it of interest
to the public In connection with the bill
now before the Legislature extending the
time for the trustees of the almshouse
property to close their accounts, has
obtained a complete statement of the
operations of the trustees having charge
OF that property, and herewith gives a
general summary thereof.
The property. which was originally
offered for sale at public vendue, as will
be seen. has been sold for upwards of
Sl40,0O0. The highest price offered at public
sale was $50, 900, and the wisdom of the ap-
pointment of trustees for the sale OF the
property is, therefore, clearly manifest.
The following is brief summary of the
trustees transactions:
