queries, Professor Hunter made a sur
yey. The entomologist removed the
tops of the buds to ascertain the pre-
vailing conditions, and discovering the
inside of the buds to be of a verdant
hue, decided they were in normal,
healthy state and gave promise of be-
coming fruit.
According to Professor Hunter, the
recent warm temperature has caused
the buds to swell and expand prema-
turely. rendering the tender tips sus-
ceptible to destruction by frost and
low temperatures.
Future indications and weather pre-
