From Every Evenings Correspondents.
laurel. April 1.--One year ago last
Sunday the peach. cherry, apple. pear
and other blossoms were destroyed by
a snow storm and freeze. Tho trees
had been blossoming for several days
and hardly any Of the fruit was left.
This week the weather has been warm
and epringlike. but tho buds are no
farther advanced than they were la st
January. This condition Is pleasing
10 the farmers and fruit growers as
q promises well for a good fruit sea-
0on unless q very late frost should
destroy the blossoms.
All indications point to a bountiful
fruit season. tho young buds being
quite plentiful on the trees. One grow
er. on making an examination OF his
orchards. found the peach trees had
an average OF fifteen buds to each
foot OF twfg. II this condition should
exist after blossoming time, Il would
be necessary 70 thin out the blossoms
a. the trees could not bear the fruit.
Many fruit growers are pessimistic
an regard 10 the price the fruit will
bring, claiming IL nothing kills II
there Will be such a largo crop It will
be impossible TO get rid OF very
great percentage NJ any price.
