Nature has developed rapidly in the
last week. Buds are unfolding into
leaves, and the pears, plums, cherries
and peaches Gn a very few cases for
the latter are now in full bloom. The
plum of the abundance variety, that

killed, are showing a good stock OF
blooms. A noticeable feature of the
plum trees is that some limbs and in
some cases whole trees are devoid OF
blossoms, butsif nothing interferes now

good crop. l.. E. Anthony has four
cling peach trees in full bloom, but
none on the other trees in his or
