 vator. Hie place is a credit both to his judgment and industry. 



Your committee conclude with the assurance that the pres- 

 ent condition of all the orchards visited is highly satisfactory 

 and promising. Never was wood better ripened, or buds more 

 promising of an abundance of peaches next year, and nothing 

 but the most excessively severe winter can affect the buds or 

 wood produced this year. 



The vineyards have also done well, both in bearing fruit and 

 maturing wood for next season, and although the grape crop 

 is large this year, the prospect is good for a much larger pro- 

 duce next year, oh account of young vineyards coming into 

 bearing that have not hitherto borne fruit.
