many growers, muking a hurried inspT 

 of their orchards, would overlook th 

 branches and presume from an in 

 of only" Ihe lower ones that the < i 

 an entire failure. 



OTHEK DI.STRICTS 



The injury in Lambton county has 

 been so jfreat as in the Niagara I 

 although here, too, the crop has bei 

 reduced by frost. The white flesh v 

 and Smocks have a fair percentagi 

 buds. Commercial varieties have ov 

 a good showing, but the feature 

 that buds on lower branches wei 

 severely injured than upper ones — v 

 ticularly noticeable here. The ' 

 Lambton county is never a larg' 

 comparatively — and this year will i 

 terially lessened. The fact that thi- in 

 was not so serious as in the Niagi ■ 

 insula m^y be credited to the fact • 

 county escaped the severity of the • 

 frost and was only affected to any 

 extent by the later one in Februar\ 

 sequently, many of the hardier bud 

 ed injury, and on the varieties m' 

 the indications are that a fair crop 

 harvested iund that even on the me: 

 mercial sorts the crop will not be 

 plete failure. 



In the Essex peninsula the prospects 

 that a full crop of all varieties will be 

 duced. In some instances, the fruit 

 have to be thinntd. The entire <o 

 western portion of Ontario seems 

 escaped the worst of the cold weatli- 

 the lowest temperature recorded in R 

 ven (Essex) was four degrees below 2 

 The contrast between that section and 

 Niagai*!! peninsula is a great one, 

 prices to the growers will be high. T' 

 is still some danger to be expected fro 

 late spring frost, but once that is past 

 growers may feel assured of a crop q 

 as large as any harvested in previou- 

 It must be remembered that the 

 under peaches is yet a small one. Pi ui 

 is being extensively done, and within a 

 years the Essex peach crop will have 

 appreciable effect upon the market. E 

 this year, in spite of the comparati 

 small number of Essex orchards in h 

 ing, and in view of the scarcity of 

 fruit in Niagara, the crop will make a 

 ceptible impression. 



.\ short visit was made to Simcoe, 

 Norfolk county. Very few peach orch; 

 have reached a bearing age, and on tl 

 the buds are practically- all killed. Fc 

 heavy plantings are being made.
