PROSPECTS OF FRUIT. L u . dJli. LJ. 
Thb prospects for an abundant crop of fruit, we ----- — 
think, were never better than at present. We regret 
to hear from some of the Western States, and par-- 
ticularly from Ohio, that the peach buds are pretty ~— —~ 
generally destroyed, except in some favored locali- 
ties. A Toledo paper says—“We suppose that the-n- 
peach crop maybe ‘counted out’ in this vicinity. 
We are assured by fruit growers that the buds are - 
killed, almost universally. There may be a few - ~ 
blossoms in sheltered localities, but as a general - — 
rule, the trees won't ‘peach’ this year.” Another 
paper says that in Clearmont county, Ohio, not 
more than one peach bud in twenty thousand has 
escaped the frost The Cleveland papers, however, 
give a more favorable account of the prospect of - 
the peach crop in that vicinity. The Herald says— 
“Lake shore residents, hereabouts, report sound — —— — — 
blossom buds on the peach trees. The trees are ■ ■ 
not loaded as heavily as usual, but no doubt —?—-— 
enough for the good of the crop. Away from the 
lake we fear the peaches will be few and far be-_ 
tween.” 
The weather is now clear and beautifully pleasant, 
but not warm. The frost is out of the ground, and 
our nurserymen are taking up and packing their 
trees. Farmers have commenced plowing, and the ■ - ■ — 
spring work is just about to begin in earnest.

TRANSPLANTING EVERGREENS. 
Messrs. Eds: — In the Rural of the 20th ult., I 
noticed a communication of N. Wadhahs, asking 
information of the most successful method of trans¬ 
planting evergreen trees. I have had some expe¬ 
rience on two very different soils, and have been
