The peach crop in this immediate sec¬ 
tion is probably less that half. We had 
heavy frosts soon after setting both ear¬ 
ly and medium late varieties. Varieties, 
Waldo, Florida Gem, Oviedo and Pal¬ 
las mostly. 
H. S. Graves. 
The damage to Jewell variety in the 
Komoko orchards of the Grilling Florida 
Orchard Company was 90 per cent, prac¬ 
tically destroying entire crop. Waldos 
70 to 80 per cent. The Imperial and 
other medium late varieties suffered very 
little, practically full crop. In the Baker 
county orchards near Macclenny, no Jew¬ 
ells were planted, Waldos damages 60 to 
75 per Cent. Later varieties not hurt. 
By studying the map of Florida you 
can see that the setion in which damage 
was done is comparatively small. 
DISCUSSION. 
Mr. Henderson.—As I have had a 
good deal of experience in peach grow¬ 
ing, I think I can give some points that 
may be interesting. I used to think I 
could not raise peaches without spraying. 
I have an orchard of about 100 acres and 
last year we sprayed until I discovered 
what has proven to be a red fungus. At 
first I did not know what it was. I sent 
to the Experiment Station and found that 
I had this red fungus and I stopped spray¬ 
ing. I wrote and asked some questions. 
I asked if I could trust my orchard in 
the hands of this fungus if it was very 
slightly affected. The answer was that I 
could. The scale had practically killed 
25 per cent, of my trees, but today I can¬ 
not find a single scale anywhere. The
