The Fruit Crop.

The fruit growers on the Peninsula are
generally of the opinion that the crop of the
coming season will b, one of the largest for
many years. They feel confident that it will
equal the crop OF last year, which brought at
least Sl,OOOO0O to the Peninsula. The cool
weather has kept back the buds and thus
lessened the danger of them being killed by
frost. By the time that they blossom the
danger from frost will have passed, and there
will be nothing to interfere with the crop
There is now every prospect of an excellen,
season and the fruit growers are therefore
happy.
