The ' reports just received confirm the View that the very severe winter will take heavy toll of the varieties of lall fruits that are on the border {line of hardiness for many sections of Ontario. | No reports have yet been received `from British Columbia but press re- ports state that conditions are not favorable in Nova Scotia. Growers _ should make every effort to get on the blossom spray as with good _; weather conditions, this alone may. be sufficient to keep the crop com- parat-ively clean.

OI Agriculture au_ya.-- In this issue are published reports from some of the prominent growers of the `Province as to the bloom prospects. Much depends on the weather as to the final outcome. Up to the 24th of the month clear days were general with but one slight frost. In the south and west much of the bloom was off in all fruits _with good setting weather. In the north and centre the apples, except Spies, were opening at this date, and all apple growers are hoping for enough bright sunny days to ensure at least an average crop. 'N.m-n in n14-mtv nf` hlnnm on the average crop. There is plenty of bloom on average in apples, plums and sour cherries to set a. good crop of these fruits if satisfactory weather con- ditions rule for the next few (lays. There are, of course, exceptions, even in these fruits where certain sections show poor bloom, but taken over the whole Province, the esti- mate above will hold good. c1.......+ ,.1....-.-hm awn nnnfinnrl vm'v XGRICULTURE mate aoove W111 uuiu guuu. Sweet cherries are confined very largely to the Niagara Peninsula, and reports `on the average are promising. Pears are reported on somewhat less favorably in the west- . em end of the Peninsula and in the Burlington section, but still showing sufficient bloom for a fair crop under proper weather conditions.

Re- ports on the bloom v1n'y_f1'om 30 per `cent. on some varieties up to even 100 per cent. on early kinds. One careful estimate is 50 per cent. for all kinds over the Niagara Peninsula. \ The western pin of the Province has ` suffered severely again in this fruit. I D,...,...+..
