In 1882 Prof. Penhallow wrote, Ibid., p. 27; "In N.J. where the
ravages of the disease have been more seriously felt than elsewhere,
the southern counties were formerly the centre of the peach
industry for the entire State, but owing to the prevalence of the
yellows, the peach orchards have been gradually moving northward
until at the present time, the counties of Morris and Hunterdon
have the largest interests involved, and prospect is that a
few more years will see even these localities deprived of the industry."
