which is one of the lowest points
recorded during tho winter. It is
not believed that young gardens
were injured to any extent, that
is those where English peas, onions
nnd such early vegetables were
up. But little regular garden truck
had been planted, due to the con
tinued cold and the recent Set
weather. In many instances the

tho cold spell had been warned of
