The cold weather in February damaged peach buds eomewhat. The warm weather in the latter part of March started the blossom buds and tbe ewelled buds would indícate a full erop, but on examiniag them many are found without the living peach within. However, if the remaining buds will set the fruit, a fair erop may be expected. Young trees not yet fully established into bearing size will likely set the least fruit. The month of .Tune will more clearly indícate the size of all fruit crops, as the blossoming time nas mucb to do in setting the fruit."
