THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



the blossom buds to start, iiiul being follinvcii 

 by a very coUi dip, many of the l)lossonis were 

 killed. — E. C. Beenian, 



Northumberland County. — Strawberries are a 

 light crop. There was considerable winter 

 killing where not protected by covering. 

 Raspberries were also killed back to a more or 

 less extent. Currants are fairly good. Goose- 

 berries are very light, and mildewing some. 

 Grapes that were not laid down for the winter 

 and covered, are dead to the ground, including 

 even the wine grapes that stood the winter of 

 two years ago, and are sprouting from the root. 

 Plums and cherries are practically a failure. 

 Only -a few Richmonds and the common red 

 cherries have any fruit on. The others had 

 a good show of blossom but they never opened 

 out, and seemed to prevent the leaf bud from 

 coming out for some time. The buds were 

 all killed on peach trees that were loaded 

 last year and are sending out fictitious buds. 

 There are no Bartlett, Anjous or Bosc pears, 

 and other varieties are very light. Duchess 

 apples are a fair crop; Snow medium; practically 

 no Baldwins or Greenings. Spy, Ontario and 

 Stark are medium. Russets bloomed heavily;

Ben bus is only a medium crop of bloom and 

 liave sol a fair crop. Insects are on the increase 

 this year. Bud Moth was very injurious. The 

 green worm that eats the fruit has done more 

 damage this year than usual. Canker worm is on 

 the increase. Oyster shell bark louse seemed to 

 be far more numerous than usual; some trees 

 were practically covered with them. Fungus 

 developed very rapidly during the warm foggy 

 days that we have had lately, also fungus has 

 appeared on the foliage. The leaves are turn- 

 ing yellow and dropping. There has been far 

 more spraying done this year with the Bordeaux 

 mixture than usual. — W. H. Dempsey. 



Prince Edward County. — The apple crop will 

 not be nearly as heavy as at first thought, on 

 account of the continued wet weather. The 

 bloom was very heavy but did not set well, and 

 the June drop will be very heavy, so that I do 

 not look for any more apples than we had last 

 year, if we have as many. Duchess are a full 

 crop, other fall apples only fair. Ben Davis and 

 Stark are much lighter than last year, while 

 Russets, Spys and Greenings are better than 

 last year. The price of apple barrels will be 

 about the same as last year. — Harry Dempsey. 



Dundas County. — Owing to the lack of snow 

 during the winter and to some very mild weather 

 when the frost was nearly all out of the ground, 

 followed by extremely cold weather, several 

 varieties of our tender fruits were injured. Straw- 

 berries, except in favored places, are a very 

 light crop, being injured by the winter and the 

 first blossoms by late frosts. Currants and goose- 

 berries a light crop. Raspberries almost a 

 failure. Early apples, as Duchess, are a good 

 crop, while others, as Mcintosh Red, Fameuse, 



etc., will be a light crop. Cherries and pimns a 

 failure. — A. D. Harkness. 



western QUEBEC 



Westmount. — Apples in my immediate vicin- 

 ity promise to be a large crop, especially early 

 varieties. Pears a good crop, principally 

 Flemish Beauty. Plums, of the European 

 varieties, a total failure; trees badly winter 

 killed. It was a very severe winter on straw- 

 berry and raspberry plantations, there being 

 very little snow protection. Everything is 

 growing well, especially the weeds. Labor is 

 very scarce, and $1.75 a' day for weeders is more 

 than we can get out of the crops. — R. Brodie
