Frost injuries on young apple& they are "set," the fruits failing to develop perfect seeds thereafter.* Fruits simply frost-bitten,—^that is, injured by a deposit of white frost,—are very likely to persist, but to show blemishes or deformities even at maturity. A common effect of very late frosts is a distiact russet zone on the fruit. This zone marks the position of the frost on the young fruit. Apples and pears are usually still erect when these frosts occur, and the dew,—^which, *"The freeze of May, 1895, froze the fruit solid.
