Trees Wintered Well 



While it is yet early to determine the 

 exact condition of fruit buds and wood, the 

 indications are that trees and bushes have 



me through the winter in good condition. 



r the next issue of The Candian Horti- 



Iturist, brief reports are requested from 



owers in all parts of Canada. 



GRENVILLE COUNTY 



Maitland. — Fruit buds and wood on ap- 

 ,ple trees are in excellent condition. With 

 favorable weather from now on, we should 

 have a perfect bloom, as the trees went into 

 winter with well ripened and fully matured 

 huds. — Harold Jones. 



HASTINGS COUNTY 



Belleville. — Apple trees wintered well, and 

 lom the appearance of the buds, prospects 

 or a large crop of apples this fall are good. 



F. S. Wallbridge. 



HALTON" COUNTY 



Burlington. — The wood of trees and vines 



went into winter fairly well ripened and 



therefore in good condition to stand the 



old. Owing to unusual snow falls, the 



DSt did not penetrate the ground to any 



I pth, so that with the exception of the more 



-iider varieties of fruits, the buds of which 



ght possibly have been impaired by the 



ry low temperature of January, all should 



leld well.— A. W. Peart. 



LINCOLN COUNTY 



Grimsby. — Indications point to a very 

 abundant fruit harvest. Peach buds have 

 rome through in excellent condition and 

 I here should be a bumper crop. Apples will 

 Uc abundant; also, probably, pears and 

 plums. In many orchards, the mummied 

 fruits from last season's rot have been al- 



wed to remain and will propagate the di- 



;isc. — L. Woolverton.

Jordan Station. — Judging from present 

 indications, peaches have come through the 

 winter in good shape and promise a full 

 crop. Strawberries are looking well, but 

 the trying time is yet to come. Raspberries 

 and blackberries appear to have suffered 

 very little from the effects of the winter. 

 It is difHcplt to find any variety of fruit 

 that does not promise a good crop this 

 season. — C. M. Honsberger. 



WELLAND COUNTY 



St. Catharines. — Strawberries are looking 

 fresh and green. The woodgrowth on rasp- 

 berries is small but they are in good condi- 

 tion. Peaches promise well and there are 

 few buds injured. The cane growth of 

 grapes is rather weak but not much frozen. 

 Plums are full of buds. On the whole, all 

 fruit has wintered well so far. — Robt. 

 Thompson. 



NORFOLK COUNTY 



Simcoe. — Trees are looking well, but it 

 is too early to ascertain what next season's 

 crop will be. — Jas. E. Johnson. 



KENT COUNTY 



Chatham. — From present appearances, 

 buds are all right and plentiful and I think 

 no damage has been done by the winter. 

 We have had a good snowfall this season 

 which ought to assist materially. Pros- 

 pects for a heavy crop are good. — W. D. A. 

 Ross.
