PEACHES. 



Peach trees have stood the past two winters with vary- 

 ing degrees of success and failure. As difference in hardiness 

 is distinguishable in different varieties, notes will be given on each 

 separate variety showing its present condition and past injury. 



Beer's Smock winter-killed the first winter in orchard. The 

 trees in this case and all cases following, where all the trees of a 

 variety died, were on rather lower land than the others, and con- 

 sequently the ground was wetter and probably was the cause of 

 the loss. 



. BELYEU'S LATE. One tree alive and one died the first win- 

 ter ^tfter planting ; the new growth on the remaining one killed 

 back about sixteen inches last winter. 



BOKAK. This variety was planted a year later than the 

 others; young" growth killed back from one to six inches. 



BRANT'S MEL. New growth ail killed back the first winter, 

 the second winter killed back about six inches. 



BRAY'S R. R. Only the ends of the limbs were injured by 

 the cold, from two to six inches being killed. The two trees have 

 about three dozen peaches on them, 



CHRISTIANA. From i to 2 inches of the new growth winter- 

 killed; they have no fruit on them. 



CRAWFORD'S EARLY Seems to be very tender, the young 

 growth killed back for about 18 inches; is bearing no fruit. 



CRAWFORD'S LATE. New growth winter-killed 2 to 6 

 inches, no fruit.
