SEE BIG APPLE CROP IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA
Luray, Va., May 15—A final survey of fruit conditions in many parts of Northern Virginia shows that when all danger from freezing weather is thought to be over, that this year will record a bountiful crop of most varieties of apples. The only failure of this crop noted is the “Milan” apple which originated in this section, the only section of the State in which it reaches perfection. Recent cold snaps, however, did considerable damage to cherries, peaches and other smaller fruits, though in the uplands of this region, this variety is reported to be undamaged.
