Florists report that the winter-kill- ing of roses was unprecedented. On the other hand, the spring rains have been rather heavy, and the deep soil is well goaked. Fields were generally too mud- dy to be worked during the first half of April, and the preparations for seeding were delayed accordingly, Cold nights have kept the soil too cold for good germination, and the startiag of vege- table growth has been slow. Heavy frosts occurred at intervals all through last nonth, but no extensive damage seems to have resulted because of the late starting of vegetation. Grass and the winter grains are making a fair growth, as they do mof require so much warmth as most crops and vegetables. Forest trees are leav- ing out quite rapidly. Gardening has been in progress here during the last two weeks, only hardy products beinz Planted: Plowing continues and corn ground is being prepared for planting. Onsts seeding is generally in full swing. Farm work generally is about weeks late.
