returns at hand, which are not numerous. Other late 

 market-garden crops are doing fairly well, and generally 

 promise average yields, though injured by drought in many 

 cases. 



Fruits. 



Apples are a very poor crop except in a few local areas, 

 where more favorable conditions are reported. Pears are 

 not over half a crop, plums even less, and peaches were 

 practically a failure. Grapes were generally abundant and 

 have been mostly secured without injury from frost. Cran- 

 berries are rather more than an average crop in the regions 

 of commercial production, and are of good quality. Little 

 injury from frost has been reported.
