 done to the stock by the severe cold 

 early in October. 



J, K. Henby & Son, Greenfield, Ind., 

 operate one of the large nurseries in the 

 state, nearly 200 acres oeing covered. 

 They say there has been a falling off in 

 demand for fruit trees, but an increase 

 in sales of forest tree seedlings. Farm- 

 ers are planting catalpas and black lo- 

 custs, owing to scarcity of timber for 

 posts and similar uses. Shipments will 

 continue until November 15. Fifty men 

 are packing trees and plants. Shipments 

 will amount to more than $40,000, there 

 being 80,000 standard fruit trees, 100,000 

 plants, vines, etc., and 1,000,000 forest 

 tree seedlings to go out this fall.

TEXAS NURSERIES. 



A. W. Orr, Texas state inspector of 

 nurseries, has filed the following report, 

 dated October 22, with the commissioner 

 of agriculture: 



"To this date we have found worthy 

 of certificates 227 nurseries: Class A, 

 small plats of one kind, 71; class B, gen- 

 eral retail nurseries, 144; class C, whole- 

 sale nurseries, 10; class D, nursery stock 

 dealers, 2. Estimated value of all nur- 

 series, $725,000. 



"The general condition of nurseries 

 throughout the state is fully fifty per 

 cent better than it was this time last 

 year. All the better class of nursery- 

 men now feel kindly toward the inspec- 

 tion law and are cheerfully complying 

 with its provisions. 



"The life of a certificate should ex- 

 tend to September 1 instead of July 31. 



The state should pay inspection charges, 

 employing a chief inspector by. the year, 

 and he, when not engaged in the in- 

 spection of nurseries or orchards, should 

 be giving public free spraying demon- 

 strations. 



* ' The importation of all kinds of nur- 

 sery stock should be prohibited except 

 by Texas permits. The proprietors of 

 all nurseries, both in and out of the 

 state, should be held legally responsible 

 for the misrepresentations of their 

 agents." 



OTTAWA, KAN. 



This is the time of the fall shipments 

 from the Ottawa nurseries. Franklin 

 county has a larger general nursery busi- 

 ness than any other county in the state, 

 its nearest competitor being Shawnee, 



which leads in one line, that of apple 

 seedlings; in fact, it leads any other 

 community in the world in that. line. 

 With this large industry around Ottawa 

 there is a demand for many laborers. 

 One company is at present employing 150 

 men and the proprietors of another con- 

 cern say they will hire all the men they 

 can get. 



This year the orders call for more 

 apple, peach and cherry trees than any 

 other kind, and there is a larger demand 

 for cherry than there has been in> any . 

 preceding year. Ornamental, stock is 

 being planted extensively. Orders for 

 catalpa, black locust and elm lead all the 

 other varieties. 



The leading firms have orders from 

 all parts of the United States. A car-load 

 of trees was shipped to the state of
