PEACHES WILL BE PLENTIFUL.
at Least the Indications at Present
Are Good.

Americas people, and others, may
again luxuriate in peaches next sum-
mer. On account of the extreme cold
weather we have had this winter, the
peach trees have been Eindered in bud
ding, and hence when they do bloom,
the chances for their destruction by
the cold is materially lessened. Every
prospect points towards an unusually
good season aud an abundant crop this
