Uran.—Salt Lake: The crop totally destroyed by the coddling-moth. Box Elder: Cut 
very short by the coddling-moth. Tovele: Plentiful but worthless, on account of the 
coddling-moth. 
PEACHES.—Product : Iowa returns the product at 122; Oregon, 153; 
Michigan, 91; California, 90; Nebraska, 72; Maryland, 58; all ot her 
states in which the crop is of any account report much below that 
figure—ranging down to 6 in Arkansas. The causes of reduction 
have been given in previous reports. 
New Jersey.— Warren: Abundant, but rather poor in quality owing to drought. 
PENNSYLVANIA.—Lehigh: Do not attain full size; drought. 
MaArRYLAND.—Frederick: Early varieties a failure, and late rotting on the trees. 
Baltimore: Rather inferior. 
VirGinia.— King and Queen: On trees raised from the stone, a very luxuriant crop ; 
but not a peach on grafts. 
Norru Caroiinsa.—Beaufort : Not afull crop but very superior in quality. Hertford: 
The crop beyond the most extravagant expectations. 
ALABAMA.—Morgan : More abundant and better quality than for years. 
Louistana.—Franklin : Rotted or fell off before ripening. 
Pexas.—Lavaca: A continous shedding of the fruit. Medina: We had no fruit 
whatever from any grafted tree, they being more sensitive to the cold than seedlings. 
ILurwots.— Madison : Rotting on the trees. 
OREGON.—Grant: Largely in excess of any previous crop. 
GRAPES.— Condition : The only States in which full condition is re- 
ported are Vermont, 100, and Oregon, 102, in both of which compara- 
tively few grapes are growu. Extensive injuries to the vines by untimely . 
_ frosts in the spring, and other causes preventing or diminishing young 
fruit, have been reported up to July. Since that date, as may be seen 
from notes below, by far the most extensive source of reduction has been 
rot. In Clarendon, South Carolina, while other varieties have been 
affected with rot, the scuppernong is better in quality than last year, 
though somewhat diminished in yield. But in Georgia, Bath, the scup- 
pernong, for the first time in many years, “failed to be good.” In Fan- 
nin, ‘grapes well cared for are unusually large and fine; those left to 
chance are nearly all destroyed by rot and insects.” Washington, 
Arkansas, reports “a plenty of wild grapes on every hill-side, and as 
good in quality as the cultivated.” Redwood, Minnesota, ‘‘a good yield 
of wild grapes of excellent quality,” and Nemaha, Kansas, ‘ hundreds 
of bushels of wild grapes of good quality.” The crop has been injured 
by “fleas” in Grundy, Tennessee, and very “much injured by an insect 
supposed to be the Phylloxera” in Grant, West Virginia. In Athens, 
Ohio, some vineyards have lost all from the combined attacks of wasps, 
grasshoppers, and rot. 
Upon the whole, notwithstanding the wide complaints of rotting, and 
some other local drawbacks, there is a prospect of a crop not very much 
below average. Michigan and Iowa return a condition of 99; Minne- 
sota, Kansas, Nebraska, and California, 98; Massachusetts, Wisconsin, 
and Connecticut, 97; Pennsylvania, 95; New York, 92. 
New YorK.—Onondaga : Have done very well. Wyoming: Coming forward well. 
PENNSYLVANIA.— Westmoreland: Abundant, but not ripening well. Lehigh: Do not 
attain full size; drought. 
MARYLAND.— Frederick : Good. 
ViIRGINIA.— Dinwiddie: A favorable season for the crop; no rot nor blight. King 
George: Mature badly. 
North Caro.tina.—Alamance : Some have rotted. Orange: Some are rotting. 
GEORGIA.— Fulton : Vineyards increasing, with good prospects for fine returns. Rich- 
mond: Very fine crop. Upson: Good. 
FLoripa.—Jackson : A good crop now on hand; wine-making in progress. 
LovuisiaNa.—Jackson: A very good crop. 
TEexas.—Coryell: A full crop, and very fine in quality. Bandera: Damaged 50 per 
cent. by drought. 
ARKANSAS.—Johnson: Rotting and falling off.
