Old Hales Early. The Early Rivers is a very proSsin; yariety. ooming m right after the Early Beatrice. I think there is more money at p^ en? m very early and very late varieties than in any others.

The yellows has not prevailed much about St. Catharines, but there arc very fow orchards there. In the yicimty of DrummonaviUe however, the orchards are noazi all destroyed. They have ma great measure rooted the diseased trees up. I have seen comdorablo 0 this diseased truit in the market this year, and have heard of people com- plaiu ng of sickness a tor eating this fruit. A friend of mine in Toronto said that sorae- bow the peaches didnt taste as good this year as usual, and thatthev rather made them sick, they thought. I inquired ol the character of the fruit, and from what I could learn I thought It was the yellows that was the matter with them. The peach does not suffer from the curculio to any extent, but the borers are rather bad. We have one or two promising seedling peaches in Grimsby. Faurr Drying Industry. «,.n»
