To the Editor OF tho Enterprise.

the Fairviev Orchard the prospect for q
fruit crop was never so good before.
There are now in bloom So varieties oi
apples; 8 OF pears; II OF cherries; ol
nectarines; so of plums; IS Of peaches
and OF prunes. Most of the peaches
will have to be thinned three-fourths-
apples the same. Ben Davis, Winesap,
Jonathan and Missouri Pippin are a
cloud OF bloom. All sour cherries are
covered with bloom to tip OF limbs. The
sweet cherries have about shed bloom
aud cherries are set in fine shape. All
small fruits promise we'll.
With MS the Japan Plums are all

ricots nre also damaged. All other

vigorous than I have seen at this date
before. The soil is in good condition.
A few hints to growers:
