A C0-0FE2ATIVE NX7BSEBY. 



The Wolverine Cooperative Nursery 

 Co., at Paw Paw, Mich., has completed 

 its fifth year. At the annual meeting 

 January 9 a trade-mark was adopted, 

 to make its products distinctive. The 

 matter of branches and outside grow- 

 ing points was fully described by the 

 manager, who stated that the proposed 

 branch at Traverse City would make 

 a planting of c.bont 100,000 peach trees 

 the coming spring and the usual 

 amount of planting at Dansville, N. Y., 

 except that the standard pear would 

 all be planted at Paw Paw. The de- 

 mand for apple trees being so heavy 

 in the west has caused a planting of 

 50,000 apple trees at Dalton, Mo. The 

 grape cutting branch operated at Fre-

donia will be entirely discontinued and 

 all plantings made at Paw Paw. The 

 currant and gooseberry plant at South 

 Haven will be continued under con- 

 tract with John Stephen, who has been 

 growing these plants for several 

 seasons. 



While there is quite an increase in 

 the outside plantings, the largest in- 

 crease is in the home planting in Paw 

 Paw, where over 400,000 peach trees, 

 together with a good assortment of 

 apple, pear, cherry, plum, quince, orna- 

 mentals and small fruits, form not only 

 the largest but the most complete as- 

 sortment of nursery stock grown in 

 western Michigan, the manager said. 



The financial statement showed an 

 invoice of $22,562.51, with a surplus of 

 $5,380.85 above all liabilities for both 

 stock and accounts. This would figure 

 that the 961 shares which have been 

 issued are now worth $15,990.85, or 

 $15.60 per share. It was voted to de- 

 clare a ten per cent dividend, payable 

 June 1, 1912. This will make a total 

 of seventy per cent paid in dividends 

 during the five years.

We have a batch of pot-grown hy-
