Feedeeick Wellhouse, known as the 

 apple king, at one time said to be the 

 largest apple grower in the world, died 

 January 11 in Leavenworth, Kan., aged 

 82 years. In 1890 the yield from the 

 Wellhouse orchards was 80,000 bushels 

 and it required 200 cars to ship his fruit. 

 Mr. Wellhouse was a native of Wayne 

 County, Ohio, and went to Kansas in 

 1859. 



NuKSEBYMEN near the Gulf coast of 

 Texas were somewhat alarmed by the 

 cold weather of January 3, when ther- 

 mometers at Victoria, Tex., registered 18 

 degrees above zero, the lowest tempera- 

 ture there for the winter. The Victoria 

 Nursery Co., however, was authority for 

 the statement that the nursery stock of 

 the locality was not injured. R. H. 

 Bushway, of the Alvin Fruit & Nursery 

 Co., at Algoa, Tex., also stated that 

 stock was undamaged, with the exception 

 of tender lemons. 



HOW THE FBOSPECT LOOKS. 



The only clouds on the nurserymen's 

 horizon are those with a silver lining, 

 according to much of the correspond- 

 ence that is reaching The Eeview. Here 

 are extracts from some of the letters:

since we have been in business. * While 

 prices on cherry have been a litAe low, 

 the demand has been good, having sold 

 250,000 cherry alone last season. The 

 supply of cherry at Vincennes for 

 spring is less than usual, and I look for 

 same to be cleaned up closely brefore 

 the season is over. There w 11 be little 

 surplus in other lines; in 'act, there 

 seems to be quite a shortage all along 

 the list and prices are satisfactory. 

 Stock has made fair growth and the 

 prospect for the coming fall is good.
