London Garden. 1880. p.558. notes Prof. Burrill claims
to have found the cause of yellows in a bacterium which is in
the diseased cells in great numbers--three times as long as 
broad. (Prof. B. retracted later.)

Burrill's peach yellows bacillus is only .000,006,9 inch<s>es</s>.

A writer in the Garden say gummed peach shoots "break
weakly".

A writer in the Country Gentlemen in 1877 say speaking
of peach culture along Niagara River:-- " Most of the peach
orchards in this region are in full vigor.  They bore good
crops for the <s>first</s> past five years in succession.  This year from
some unknown cause there are very few.  It is estimated that
the peach orchards of th township of Niagara contain 46,000 Bus [Bushels]
and it is likely to become noted as one of the best regions
of the State [N.Y.].  The best peach region appears to be
confined to a branch of a mile or two alon the river.
Farther inland this crop has not been so successful, until
we reach the neighborhood of Lockport."--Garden (London). June
9, 1877. [or 1878] p. 474.
