correspondents state that much more will be done. That 

 which is up is generally reported as looking well and giving 

 good promise. 



Onions. 



Onions are reported as less than an average crop, espe- 

 cially in the chief onion-growing sections. Blight is not re- 

 ported and they appear to i)e curing well. Prices are the 

 highest for several years, and the net profits from the crop 

 promise to be even greater than in some years of heavy 

 yields. 



Potatoes. 



While potatoes are somewhat uneven the crop as a whole 

 is considerably below the normal in yield. Rot is reported 

 from almost all sections and in some cases is evidently mak- 

 ing severe inroads on the crop. The tubers are also reported 

 to be small and scabby, and the quality in general is not of 

 the best. 



Root Crops, Celery, etc. 



Root crops are generally reported to be in excellent condi- 

 tion and to promise well. Celery is also a good crop as far 

 as reported on. Other late market-garden crops promise 

 well in most instances. 



Fruits. 

 The yield of apples will be very light indeed, in fact not 

 much, if any, over one-fourth of the average, and what few 

 there are ore certainly not of extra quality. Pears are gen- 

 erally a fair crop of good quality. While peaches are not by 

 any means a full crop over the State they are perhaps very 

 nearly up to the average of years. Grapes are generally a 

 good crop and have ripened well. Fuller reports from the 

 cranberry-growing sections than we have previously received 

 lead us to believe that the crop is fully an average one. It 

 is now mainly secured in good condition without damage 

 from frosts.
