The following items are from a synopsis of this report,

"It is notorious that the yellows mentioned was first
introduced there [near Rochester, N.Y. ] in trees imported
from New Jersey."--p. 38.

"Peaches have done but ill with us [Pennsylvania] for 
some years past [before 1852].  The yellows has swept off
thousands of trees."--p. 38.

"The trees have succeeded here [in Virginia] well-many
of them thirty to forty years old.  The yellows appears in
some places, and where no means are used to check itis progress,
it has destroyed some orchards entirely."--p. 38.

Some attention was given to peach culture in Michigan
in 1852.--p. 39.  No yellows--young orchards perfectly healthy.

"In New Jersey and Delaware [1854] it is necessary to
renew the peach orchard every five or six years.--p. 359.
