In fact fewer peaches were borne at Columbia following the winter of 1908-09 than following the winter of 1904-05 when the temperature fell to -25° F. on February 13. A temperature of -12° F. on February 2, 1905, killed only a very small percentage of the buds of such tender varieties as Yellow St. John. It may be said too that a temperature of -15° F. on January 7, 1912, killed practically every peach bud at Koshkonong, Missouri. By referring.
