From reports from n- .cly -three count lea

Peach Orrh.ii da. 
Where properly cut bark last spring, 
have most of them made a tine growth ami 
will hold a fair prop ot peach- - Trees uol 
cut back and those cut back ton severely, 
and old trees have nrotiy of them died The 
very rapid growth on the cut bn- k trees 
haa prevented the formation of very many 
fruit buds, and hence we cannot expect a 
full crop. Some of the bud* have already 
been killed, but there are left, on most, 
trees, all the IiiiiIr that the trees xbonld 
have.
