Word comes from Glastonbury, Conn., 

 tliat the recent snowstorms and ex- 

 tremely cold weather have accomplished 

 what the January cold snap failed to 

 do in the case of Connecticut peach or- 

 chards and, on the authority of J. How- 

 ard Hale, fully ninety per cent of the 

 buds on peach trees in this state have 

 been killed. The warm weather of early 

 February brought them to a point where 

 frost could get in its work. Last year 's 

 crop was large and only an average 

 crop was expected in Connecticut this 

 vear.

•ON TO ALBANY. 



The capital of New York state will 

 be visited shortly by not a few nursery- 

 men of the state, particularly those who 

 are shippers of fruit trees, to protest 

 against a bill recently introduced in the- 

 state legislature by Assemblyman Gil- 

 lett, of Yates county. By this bill the 

 agricultural law is amended so as to 

 compel nurserymen to label shipments 

 of fruit trees, stand liable for damages 

 for any error in labeling, and bear the- 

 burden of proof to limit or exempt 

 his liability. In short, when a nursery- 

 man sends out a shipment of fruit trees 

 under this law, he will run every chance 

 of losing money and have only the pos- 

 sibility of getting his purchase price 

 for the stock. Careless handling in 

 transit or by the receiver, or the possi* 

 bility of mistake in labeling, is not 

 taken into account; plainly the nursery- 

 man is the "goat." 



The bill provides for the insertion in 

 the agricultural law of three new sec- 

 tions, requiring shippers of fruit-bear- 

 ing trees to have attached to each car, 

 box, bale or package a copy of a cer- 

 tificate of inspection issued by the de- 

 partment of agriculture. Such certifi- 

 cate is valid until the first day of Sep- 

 tember after its issue. With the cer- 

 tificate must be attached a label speci- 

 fying the name or variety of trees. If 

 trees in the same bundle are of different
