Show The Peach Buds Killed I The fruit buds for the present year of f the peach trees are entirely killed in some and perhaps all of the wards I of f this city as may be seen by anyone any-one who with a sharp penknife will cut across the base of a detached fruit bud and cut gradually to its entie when a small brown epeck will be observed That is the dead chi of the peach whicb when alive is of a whitish green color This indicates that a temperature of not less about 11 Q below zero has existed at some time during the past winter as the fruit buds are net otherwise destroyed Of course the apricot buds are also probably destroyed as the fruit is less hardy than the peach We learn the above from Mr T V Ellerbeck of this city an experi enced horticulturist |
