When the last mail left San Francisco frosts had struck heavily the apple-growing districts of the States of Oregon and Washington, in *he north-west, according to a report circulated by Messrs Spedding, of Auckland. In the Yakima district it was estimated that the crop would le damaged to the extent of 40 per cent, and the Delicious variety, grown at Wenatchee, had been heavily hit, fully 90 per cent, of the buds having been nipped. In the Hood River district, in the State of Oregon, the cherry crop had been subjected to severe damage, and pears were under heavy toll, but it appeared that the apple crop was not sufficiently advanced to suffer mucii damage there. The destruction wrought in the Delicious orchards of Wenatchee •<? ot particular interest to New Zealand growers, since the Delicious is hicrhlv popular as a table fruit in the State, where there is al wavs a good market for New Zealand shipments of this variety.
