Observations— Fruit trees, have suffered more or less, but more 

 especially from the cold, wet summer; inasmuch as the vars. of 

 Apples and Pears continued to die by inches during the cold rains. 

 The injuries were no doubt increased by the low temp, of the soil. 

 Others of a more hardy nature suffered from the absence of sun and 

 the consequent failure in ripening the wood. Trees and shrubs, the 

 greatest injury to these, such as Box, Hollies, &c, occurred where 

 they were in confined situations. Such are always hardier when the 

 air circulates freely around them, as in many cases where the same 

 vars. are standing tree and exposed, they are uninjured.
