Geneva, N. Y., January 20—W. & T. Smith Company: 
“ We are glad to report that, as far as we can now find out, 
stock has not been materially damaged thus far. It has been 
very fortunate that the ground has been well covered with 
snow; otherwise we think some kinds of plants would cer¬ 
tainly have been injured. Almost all kinds of nursery stock 
were well ripened before cold weather came on, which is 
another point in favor of nurserymen. It is our opinion that 
most of the injury to plants in cold weather is in the Spring 
of the year when we have alternately severe freezing and 
bright sun.” 
Newark, N. Y., January 22—Jackson & Perkins Co.: “So 
far as we have been able to ascertain thus far, the severe 
cold weather has done no particular damage in this locality. 
We had no peaches outdoors and think that they mightj 
have suffered somewhat if we had had any; but the other., 
stock we believe has thus far come through all right. Wen 
have had a very heavy fall of snow here which has protected 
small stock well and we do not anticipate any unusual losses.”

it has stood the test of the severe cold weather. I am safe;

better. Other nurserymen here say the same thing.” (

Troy, 0., January 21— George Peters & Co.: “As far as 
we have observed stock in this section is in very good con¬ 
dition at this time, with the exception of the peach trees. 
The peach that were allowed to stand out during the winter 
are badly browned and quite a number of the fruit buds 
are killed. Stock was in unusually good condition when 
winter set in as it was well matured and was in better shape 
to stand a hard freeze in ordinary seasons. The mercury 
through this section has stood from 10 to 15 degrees below 
at the coldest.” 
Geneva, Neb., January 22 —Youngers & Co.: “We have

solutely uninjured and, at the present time, everything indi¬ 
cates a good fruit crop.”
