I. Lewis, horti- culturist of the Oregon Station. These conditions were present to a greater or less extent last year and are likely to occur at any time, for which reason growers should be on their guard to lessen the ill effects. Heavy rains at blossoming time mean, of course, that bees are not flying and that pollination would not take place. Or a heavy frost may occur at about the time the fruit is in blossom, and this often causes lack of setting of fruit.
