PROMISING SEASON AHEAD. 



In his discussion of the supply of 

 nursery stKck for the coming season, 

 before tile Texas .Nurserymen's .\s- 

 soci;iti<jn, .1. ii. .Mayhew stated that in 

 legard to tin- supply of nursery stock 

 tin' comii;g si.'ason is the most promising 

 in ycais. There is a growing deiiiaml 

 loi ornamentals. The high pri/es of 

 fruit last year will iiinlonbteilly a<'t to 

 the benefit of the trade. In peach 

 Tii-cs the su|i]d\ is abiiiit the ■~ame, al 

 though the graded run smaller than 

 usual. The demand for smaller gradt's 

 of trees, liowe\ei', is increasing in all 

 fruit trees. The demand for peach is 

 exc(dlent, and that for (herry more 

 jiioniising. The snjiply of pear is small 

 and the deUu'iid jUdpoi t ionately strong. 

 I'luiii and a]piicot are '-i-aice, while ;i|i|ile 



is more Jilelitiful.

PERRY'S HARDY PLANT FARMS 

 Enfield. Middx.. Ens. 



I'. Stark was continued in the Pike 

 county court, and flint lly on his applica- 

 tion a change of veime was taken to 

 the Circuit Court at Mexico, in Au- 

 drain county, where ii w;is called for 

 trial Soptember I'L'. before lion. ,i. D. 

 Harnett, the circuit judge, who, after 

 (Mght days, detdded for the defendants. 



In his jietition the jilaintilf alleged 

 tliat the ca])ital stock of the company 

 was in the haiuls of those incompe- 

 tent to manage it and that K. W. Stark 

 :ind ]\lrs. C. M. Stark had conspired to 

 dejjrive liim of the managcMiient of the 

 business. These were his grounds for 

 asking the appointnu-nt of a roceiver. 



In his decision, the court said in 

 l)art: "There is no doubt from the 

 evidence that this plaintiff was largely 

 instrumental in Imilding ui> this cor- 

 j)oration. There can ])e no doubt that 

 for a ])eriod of at least ten years before 

 the friction arose in the coin]iany 

 the success of the company was more 

 largely due to his efforts than to the 

 efforts of anyone else. Pncjuestionably, 

 he must be regarded from this evi- 

 dence as a nurseryman of unusual 

 ability; but, I do not believe that the 

 evidence shows that it could be said 

 that his brother was a mere shadow 

 and pretense in this corporation, but.
