were taken out of an orchard of 2,000 trees.

I lost an orchard of 500 trees which I
reset two years ago and the trees are doing
well.  [see p. 339]

Yours truly,
Robt Reid.

In <s>reply</s> answer to additional question relative 
to this orchard J. P. Wade [see p. 327] replied

April 16, '88.

Replying to yours of the 14th inst.
The 20 trees were dug out in 1882 and
young trees planted in same places
1883.

The forest timber was beech & maple.
It had one crop only after clearing
before the trees were planted.

The trees were 5 years old when
the yellows were first discovered,
with the exception of one tree the year
previous.
