Mr. Ganzhorn On Fruit Prospects

Jacob Ganzhorn, of this city, is quoted as reporting the fruit prospects in Washtenaw for the Michigan erop report as follows: The prospects at the present (last of February) is good for a full erop of peaches and apples, as well as for all other fruits. The winter thus far has been very favorable to carry all kinds of trees, small fruit plants and grape vines through unharmed. The peach in this vicinity is grown veryextensively, as well as the apple. The fall rains were abundant and helped the trees to winter well. The ground was filled with moisture, a necessary condition for trees, as constant evaporation goes on. The past few seasons were too dry for strawberries; but the rains last fall came in time to start the plants into vigorous growth, and are therefore promising well for a good erop of berries the coming season. Good strawberry crops will be very desirable again after the successive failures.
