Authority on Fruit. Gives
This as His Opinion.
PEAR BUDS ALSO FROZEN.
REPORTS INDICATE THAT GREAT
DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO
THE APPLE, PEAR AND PEACH
CROPS.

The cherry crop is entirely killed
according to the statements of Steven
kuth, the well known nurse ryman re.
siding east of the city. He has made
an examination of all the different
trees grown on his farm and finds
that the Keifer pear buds are frozen
beyond all hope of being producing,
while the foliage is injured worse than
it had been in several years past The
freeze Friday night did great damage
but the severe cold and frost which
prevailed during the early hours Of
this morning. put the finishing touch
es on that fruit where there still re-
NAMED some chances of it's producing.
early varieties of fruit The Dye
hous and Early Richmond cherries
were just beginning to bloom when thu
present cold spell struck them. The
Montmorency cherry trees, although
they bear late, are practically void of
live buds.
Other Fruit Damaged.
A greater portion of the apple, pear
and peach crops are ruined. according
to the statements of other fruit grow
ers surrounding Richmond. Many
had hopes during the latter part of the
week that there would still remain
enough buds on the trees TO supply ali
the fruit that could be used during the
coming summer, but the exceedingly
hard freeze and heavy frost last night
shattered the hopes of such persons.
Last night was considered one of the
worst that could have been handed out
by the weather man as the heavens
were clear while the thermometer
sank fast after midnight, and a crisp
white frost covered the ground this
morning. The little glass tube regis
tered just twenty degrees above zero
at the coldest period this morning.

ers as well ns residents of Richmond,
hope that old King SOL who SO will

each and every day following in the
spring and summer months. with such
as to drive even the slight
est semblance of cold weather to those
sections where it belongs at this sea-
