■^ Current Comment 



Our long and beautiful summer came 

 to a sudden and disastrous end on 

 Wednesday, October 10. We had sev- 

 eral days of rain, but about 4 p. m. that 

 day heavy flakes of snow took the place 

 of rain. If ever that hackneyed phrase 

 of a "sickening thud" was excusable, 

 it is in reference to that snowstorm. It 

 fell down wet, soggy and slushy. It 

 lodged on the foliage of trees, and bent 

 their branches to the ground. Darkness 

 made us oblivious to the destruction that 

 was going on, yet the crack and swish 

 of the branches as they fell to the 

 ground told us of the destruction of our 

 shade trees. The local weather man says 

 a little more than fourteen inches of 

 snow fell that night, unprecedented in 

 the record of the weather bureau for 

 October. 



Daylight disclosed an awful destruc- 

 tion of our trees. The residence streets 

 were almost impassable. Branches, and 

 in many cases trees, had fallen to the 

 ground. In many of our residence 

 streets the shade trees are too close and 

 their branches are so thick that a prun- 

 ing would do good, but unfortunately 

 this storm pruned with no artist's eye. 

 It broke down the leading young 

 branches. The chief industry of the 

 bureau of streets at present is to cart 

 oflf to the nearest vacant lot the fallen 

 boughs and trees, preparatory to innum- 

 erable bonfires to blaze on the evening 

 of November 6, to glorify the election 

 of Mr. Hearst to the governorship of 

 New York state. 



The great destruction of our shade 

 trees will soon be forgotten, but the 

 loss to the fruit growers of western New 

 York is much more serious. Many thou- 

 sands of fine trees laden with Baldwin 

 and Northern Spy apples have been 

 crushed to the ground, but the most seri- 

 ous loss is with the peach growers of 

 Niagara, Orleans and Monroe counties. 

 Peach trees have been stripped of their 

 branches and ruined. 



Among shade trees, in our residence 

 streets, the American elm and hard ma- 

 ple fared the best, and the Norway 

 maple and Carolina poplar the worst. Of 

 course, this snowstorm settled all out- 

 door flowers. Dahlias, salvias and all 

 other plants were beaten to the ground, 

 and a bed of begonias looked next morn- 

 ing more like a bed of saur kraut than 

 anything you could think of, and so we 

 are dependent entirely on the product 

 of the greenhouse. Never did we sigh 

 more fervently for the advent of the 

 queen of autumn. A few good Mon- 

 rovia have been in town, but they don't 

 fill the bill. Since asters are gone, we 

 have only carnations and they are scarce. 

 Eoses are plentiful, but the great public 

 doesn't want roses. In a few days we 

 will have Polly Rose and Kalb chrysan-

SALEM, VA. 



Since the frost of October 10 trade 

 has assumed a brighter aspect, and roses, 

 carnations and violets find a ready sale 

 at fair prices. Mums are just begin- 

 ning, and there is promise of a heavy 

 cut. 



James J. Curran reports trade as 

 good. He is having an excellent cut of 

 roses, carnations and violets, and can 

 easily clear off each day's cut at prices 

 which are ruled by the Washington mar- 

 ket. He has a large house full of fine 

 mums, which will be in full flush by 

 Thanksgiving. R.
