Most of our fruit trees have . cer-
tain power OF resisting cold. the lower
limits of this power being different
with different trees. 1. Generally the
trunks and limbs suffer rather than
the roots. Peach trees and pear trees
suffer most in our porthern climate.
There are several factors that enter
into the winter injury OF trees, besides
the excessive cold. Drouth in the fall
or excessive wetness in the fall may
prove very Instantaneous to the
trees, II the winter prove to be cold.
II insects have. defol;ated the trees In
the summer, thus preventing the elab-
Grafton of plant food for ripenihg up
the wood In the fall. the trees will fall
an casy prey to severe cold. Trees
that have had no cultivation during
spring and summer but have been
cultivated In the fall and thus stimu-
lated to make a new growth of wood
In the fall, are especially likely to be
Injured by the cold. says Farmers Re-
view, even IL that cold is not severe.
Fall rains have the same effect
sometimes, when they follow a long
season OF drouth. The reason is
that the new wood formed does not
have time to harden before the com
ing of cold. This accounts for the fact
that the branches of trees are more
often injured than the roots.
Relative to the appearance Of a
frozen tree in the early spring. Pro-
lessor H. J. Eustace OF the Geneva.
N. Y. station. says: The external
appearance Of the injured trees at the
end of the winter WAS normal, but
upon cutting into the trunk anywhere
above snow line the bark and wood
showed marked deterioration, which
decreased In internally from the snow
line up. 1t was found impossible to
tell by the appearance of the wood
and bark in the spring whether tree
was dead or not, since some trees IN
which. both wood and bark were dis.
colored black and which all believed
were dead recovered from the injury
and made a good growth during the
succeeding two years. The intensity
of the discoloration, however, is an In
dex to the degree Of injury. Peach
trees one to six years old were much
less injured and recovered much moro
rapidly than older trees. Badly dis
