doubt many of you are already tired and 
as plums and pears are not generally 
enough grown for commercial purposes, 
I will not attempt to say anything with 
reference to them. If however any mem¬ 
ber knows of any plums of any special 
merit, it would be of interest to myself 
and dare say to others of the society, to 
hear about them. The same for pears. 
Supplementary to regular report would 
say that a few days ago I sent out a cir¬ 
cular letter, asking for information re¬ 
lative to present conditions of peaches in 
several sections of the state with refer¬ 
ence to damage by frosts of March ist 
and 22nd. Also about varieties grown in 
the several sections. The following is 
the essence of the replies received bear¬ 
ing on these two points. Some mention 
was made in some of the replies relative 
to scale, gall knots and other troubles 
all of which I think have been covered by 
report. 
Dinsmore, Fla. 
I estimate that the frost of March 
20th and 2 1 St killed 75 per cent, of the 
crop. 
Wm. Macklin. 
Waldo, Fla. 
Peaches not hurt here in the least. 
Waldo and Jewell only kind grown for 
market. 
T. K. Godby. 
Stetson, Fla. 
So far as I know, none of the peaches 
were hurt at all in this section. 
H. B. Stevens. 
Fulton, 'Fla. 
The March first fro'St was local in its 
effects, in and around Fulton some or¬ 
chards were much more injured than 
others. Jewell variety suffered most. 
Waldos came off better. Later varieties 
some. 
H. F. Hale. 
Inverness, Fla. 
We will have a good peach crop. I 
hear of none being killed by frost. 
S. M. Wilson. 
Boardman, Fla. 
No commercial orchards in this sec¬ 
tion, only for family, but so far as they 
go the promise is for full crop, the frost 
not having hurt them. 
F. G. Sampson. 
Interlachen, Fla. 
The frost of this Spring did but little 
damage in fact only thinned the fruit on 
outer limbs. None of the early varieties 
seem to be injured by the cold. 
J. H. Wylie. 
Lady Lake, Fla. 
The frost did not do us any damage at 
all. Peach trees of all kinds are full. 
Jewell the best. 
L. B. Miller. 
DeFuniak Springs, Fla. 
Peaches and plums not injured in the 
least by frost. Holding fruit well dur¬ 
ing this dry weather. Varieties principal¬ 
ly Elberta. 
L. W. Plank. 
Melrose, Fla. 
Peach crop is as good as can be, we
