Reports as to the outlook for the peach
crop are very conflicting. The North
erner has interviewed Mr.. G.. G.. Engle
one of our oldest and most experienced
growers, who says that in the most fav-
ored localities and on high ground, there
are live buds enough to produce fair
crop, while in less favored situations the
buds are nearly all killed. He says that
some of the more hardy varieties, notably
the Gold Drops, promise fair yield, while
some other varieties are badly injured
Mr. Engle, who has Just returned from a
winter spent in California, says that he
was surprised to find so poor an outlook
for crop. Mr.. A. G. Glidden writes: "An
examination of the peach buds in this
vicinity by several of our expert growers
discloses the fact that all the Crawford
family are badly injured, and many OF
the medium hardy varieties have only a
sufficient number of live buds left for a
moderate crop, even il they sustain no
further injury. OF the hardy kinds, the
prospect is better, an ample number OF
sound buds still remaining to assure a
good crop. The large body of snow that
still covers the ground will have a tend
ency to make the spring later and fur.
ther injury is not anticipated" From
some other localities come reports that
peaches are all right" but we incline to
the opinion that Messrs. Engle and Gid.
den are correct in their Judgment
We have also talked with Mr.. j. C.
Gould, another successful grower, and
