Frank Crowley brought to this Office
Yesterday fine large peach picked
from two-year old tree on his Flora
Vista Fruit farm two miles north II
Holly. He says he ha: quite num-
Der Of peaches in his orchard. The
fact such young trees bore fruit here
this year when all the older orchards
up the valley are wholly devoid of
peaches owing to the late freeze last
spring, has much significance. 1t dis
pels all doubts, II any there were, as
TO the adaptibillty Of this vicinity to
fruit growing. Each year henceforth
will give additional testimony to this
important fact.
