Rochester, N. Y.— The continued 

 cold weather of the past few days and 

 the frosts which have visited this sec- 

 tion, including Mount Morris and 

 Palmyra, N. Y., for several nights 

 have worked havoc with the early 

 crops, and while it is impossible to 

 ascertain at this time the total amount 

 of damage, yet it is certain it will run 

 into thousands of dollars. Previous to 

 last week the conditions were so fa- 

 vorable that fruit growers were pre- 

 dicting a large crop, and it looked as 

 though the crops this year would be 

 large enough to make up for the poor 

 yield last year. Peaches, cherries, 

 berries, apples and in fact almost every 

 kind of fi-uit has suffered more or less 

 from the untimely frosts. \Vm. L. 

 Gallman, who is a big grower, and has 

 a large peach orchard in which there 

 are 10,000 trees, says there is no 

 doubt about the big damage that the 

 peach crop received. John Long, a 

 grower close by,, states that his or- 

 chard has been practically wiped out 

 as far as a yield can be expected this 

 year. Another crop that is now prac- 

 tically ruined is the tomato crop. The 

 early floods destroyed hundreds of 

 thousands of tomato plants, and now 

 the frosts have wiped out what plants 

 escaped the high water. Farmers 

 who have early peas up, have now but 

 blackened leaves.

Thorburn's New Street Number. 



Through the Woolworth Building, 

 New York City has been given a sur- 

 prisingly large amount of publicity. 

 But J. M. Thorbum & Co. are not 

 worrying about this half as much as 

 they are about the fact that they have 

 to change their Barclay street address 

 of No. 33 to No. 53, and their Park 

 place number from 38 to 54 Park 

 place. Naturally though, mail ad- 

 dressed to the old number will reach 

 them, but you will save the post office 

 authorities a lot of vexation and extra 

 work by addressing your orders in the 

 way suggested above.
