The embargo on the importation of

O. Joe Howard, secretary and treas- 

 urer of the J. Van Lindley Nursery Co., 

 Pomona, N. C, says, * ' We had the largest 

 business in our history last year. ' ' Fruit 

 stock is scarce with the company, while 

 there is a big demand for it. 



The Holland nurserymen are doing 

 their utmost to ship large quantities of 

 stock to the United States this season, 

 taking advantage of the reopening of 

 navigation and getting in ahead of the 

 quarantine. There are less than five 

 months in which to do business. 



There was less nursery stock grown in 

 Tennessee this year than for a long time. 

 This applies to ornamentals as well as to 

 fruit trees. As a result prices are practi- 

 cally double, on some items more than 

 double, those of a year ago. The demand 

 has not been up to expectations, so far 

 as we have been able to learn. The pub- 

 lic has shown little disposition to plant 

 fruit trees and, as there was little new 

 building on account of the carpenters 

 and builders having been employed in 

 war work, the demand for ornamentals 

 has fallen oflf correspondingly. The gen- 

 eral feeling is that spring will see a re- 

 versal of these conditions. In fact, 

 agents already are beginning to report 

 heavy sales for spring delivery. 



THE OUTLOOK FOR 1919. 



"Business among the farmers has 

 been brisk in this section. There is 

 a shortage of fruit trees, which will, 

 no doubt, become more serious later 

 in the season, and even more serious 

 in 1920," says the Pontiac Nursery 

 Co., Detroit, Mich. "Due to . war 

 conditions, we have been unable to get 

 our usual supply of French seedling 

 fruits during the last two years, and 

 we think that many other nurserymen 

 in this section have experienced the 

 same difficulty. For that reason fruit 

 trees are going to be scarce. In addi- 

 tion to this, the labor shortage has 

 caused the curtailment of the planting 

 of large quantities of fruit stock, and 

 this will affect the crop to be offered 

 next season. All in all, it looks like 

 quite a serious condition facing the 

 nurserymen for the next two or three 

 years, and it also looks as though there 

 are going to be lots of buyers for the 

 varieties that are scarce during the 

 next few years.

tiful on the market, and we are sup- 

 plied vrith a complete assortment of 

 ornamentals in large quantities. Our 

 business in this line has been good dur- 

 ing the last season, war conditions con- 

 sidered, and it looks as though we would 

 experience a good business from now 

 on, as it is getting better as the money 

 stringency relaxes. 



"It seems as though the nurserymen 

 who have stock to sell are going to 

 have good times ahead of them, but 

 with the present shortage of fruit stock, 

 wholesale prices are going to be high, 

 and retail prices, of course, will ad- 

 vance accordingly. We hope that nor- 

 mal conditions are going to benefit the 

 nurserymen in every material way."
