Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, 1850, Vol. 16: Vol. Vi, New Series
It is somewhat remarkable that the failure of the fruit crop, the last year, should have been so general. We con versed with gentlemen from almost every State in the Union, at the Pomological Conventions, last autumn, and they all complained of the scarcity of fruit, - particularly of apples and pears. It is the more remarkable, from the fact that the failure was not produced by the same causes. In the south and west, late spring frosts destroyed the blossoms.
The principal supply of apples has been obtained from northern New York, and Maine, where the crop was nearly an average one. Peaches were abundant in high and ex posed localities, throughout the State. The crop of grapes was large and excellent.
