A letter from a gentlemau at Fort Claiborne iu the Alabama 

 territory, cited in the Boston Daily Advertiser Sept. S5, states, that 

 the Peach trees were in blossom at that place on the 4 of March. 



It will be observed, that some latitude must be allowed in the 

 exactness of the time at which the foregoing observations were 

 made, since most of the trees and shrubs would continue in flower 

 for one or more weeks, at any part of which time the observations 

 might be made. It is most probable however that notice would be 



4- 



taken of the earliest period at which they were generally in flow- 



er. 



\t any rate it is not likely that the statemeuts generally 



vary more than a week from this time. 



The letters from Charleston, Richmond and Lexington state 

 the spring to have been less forward than usual, and the preced- 

 ing winter unusually severe. At Boston the season was not more 



backward 



I am in possession of memorand 



taining the blossoming time of the fruit trees htrc for the last 



twenty years, of which that in 1817 presents nearly a fair aver-
