| PEACHES.—Only three States, Massachusetts, lowa, and California, 
will have average cropsof peaches. Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, 
Virginia, North ‘Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, and Mis. 
souri find their condition somewhat improved during June, but in the 
other States there has been a decline in some cases to figures indicating 
a total failure.of the crop. The great peach regions of the Middle 
States show a very serious decline, Delaware promising not much over 
a fourth of a crop. Inthe South Atlantic and Gulf States the promise 
is from a fourth to a half a crop, and in the inland Southern States still 
less ; Arkansas will probably realize less than 10 per cent. of an average. 
North of the Ohio River the small crop of Michigan is nearly average, 
but the great crops of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois are at least 40 per cent. 
below average on the whole. West of the Mississippi the facts are 
about the same; the northern counties of lowa and Nebraska are aver- 
_ ageor above, but Missouri and Kansas are but little over half an average. 
On the Pacific coast California reports a condition improved during 
June and above average; Oregon 10 per cent. below average and con- 
siderably below the June report. 
PENNSYLVANIA.—Light crop. 
MaryLanp.—Caroline: Entire failure. Worcester: Utter failure. 
VIRGINIA.—F ew, except old seedlings. Prince William: Trees of the natural fruit 
quite full. 
NortH CArorina.— Wilson: Fine; Hales’ Early doing very well; not rotting on 
the trees as heretofore. Hertford: Not entirely killed by the late frost. 
- SoutTH Carorins.—Clarendon : Poor crop. 
GEORGIA.— Carroll: The crop much better than expected. 
FrLoripa.—Jackson : Partial failure. 
Texas.—Dallas : Light crop. 
TENNESSEE.— Greene : Quite scattering. 
Kentucky.— Shelby : Half a crop in place of none last year. 
MIcHIGAN.— Wayne: Never more promising. Mason: Prospect never better. 
INDIANA.— Decatur : Promised well, but have fallen off badly. Floyd: Thin on the 
trees and badly rotting. Hamilton: A fine crop. Kosciusko: Less than half a crop, 
but look well. Madison: Seedlings only show fruit. 
Iowa.—Jefferson ; Promising. 
Missourt.—Phelps: A great many have dropped off. Caldwell: Have nearly all 
alropped off. Saint Clair: Some orchards full while others have none; quality good. 
Harrison: Fine crop. 
CALIFORNIA.—Sonoma : Promise of an exceedingly large crop. 
GRAPES.—The grape-crop of New England would indicate very nearly 
an average condition but for winter-killing in some of the northern por- 
tions. The Middle and South Atlantic States promise nearly an average 
yield. Some local complaints of caterpillars come up from Virginia, but 
generally injuries of this kind are conspicuous by their absence. The 
condition of the crop in the Gulf States is from 20 to 25 per cent. below 
average, but in the inland Southern States, excepting Arkansas, it is 
above average. North of the Ohio the condition would be nearly 
average but for the tendency to rot and mildew, resulting from recent 
heavy rains. Between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers the condi- 
tion on the whole is about 10 per cent. below average; west of the last- 
named river, nearly 10 per cent. above. The Pacific coast is about 
average. 
MAINE.— York: The vines badly winter-killed ; the roots sprouting again. 
PENNSYLVANIA.—IJndiana: Will be an extensive crop. 
MARYLAND.—Caroline: Good. Worcester: Promise of full crop. 
VIRGINIA.—King George: Promiseabundant. lizabeth City: The vines eiteatad with 
caterpillars, and the fruit dropping off. 
NortTH CarROLina.—Gaston: Above the usual fall bearing. Hertford: In abundance. 
SouTH CaRoLina.—Clarendon: Abundant. Newberry: ‘Were unusually promising 
but the continuous rain has caused them to rot badly. Lexington: On sandy soil and 
low land bave rotted some from the wet weather, but on clay soil are sound, and promg
