Daniel D. Herr, Lancaster, Pa., says: “The trade here 
was better last fall than ever and the prospects for spring 
are very good. I attribute these conditions largely to the 
fact that in this section fruit growing pays much better 
than farming.”

The Shady Hill Nursery Co., of Cambridge, Mass.,

T\\q California Fruit Grower says: “The Napa Regis¬ 
ter, of January nth, alleges that Mr. Leonard Coates has 
sold his large nursery business near that to.vn to parties 
who will continue the nursery and add to the business 
the cultivation of flowers on a large scale. The Napa 
Valley Nurseries are well known all over the Pacific coast, 
and Mr. Coates has achieved an enviable reputation in 
the business. If his successors shall keep the standard as 
high as Mr. Coates has done, they will deserve the highest 
success attainable in their line of work.” 
PEACH TREE SCARCITY. 
J. H. Hale says in The Florist's Exchange: “Last 
spring, just about in the midst of delivery season, nursery¬ 
men of the country awoke to the fact that there were not 
half enough peach trees on hand to supply the demand, 
and long before the end of the season it was impossible 
to buy peach trees at any price, and many nurserymen 
had to not only decline taking new orders, but refund the 
money for those received early in the season. The com¬ 
ing spring is likely to see a repetition of this, except that 
nurserymen are better posted in relation to the situation, 
and in their spring catalogues are advancing prices from 
15 to 30 per cent, above those quoted in fall list. One 
reason for this shortage is, that seedling stocks were not 
very abundant throughout the ^lorth in the summer of 
1893, and the great freeze late in March last year killed 
down the tender buds in many of the southern nurseries, 
probably not less than five million trees being killed out 
in this way south of the Ohio river, one nursery in Alabama 
alone having lost fully half a million trees. 
“Several Western New York nurseries are in market at 
this time to purchase from 25 to 50 thousand peach trees 
each, while nearly all of the West Michigan nurseries are 
looking around for from ten to one hundred thousand 
trees each. Probably many of these will be disappointed, 
and those who have sold for agents’ delivery on a basis of 
last fall’s prices, are likely to be left to the tune of $10 
or $15 per thousand, even if they succeed in getting trees 
at all.” _ _ 
The Buffalo Landscape Gardening Co. has been incor¬ 
porated, its object being to transact the business of land¬ 
scape gardening in Buffalo and surrounding territory ; 
capital, $10,000. Directors, Warren P. King, John A. 
Reynolds, Mortimer P". Adams, Charles V. Slocum, and 
John Sedgwick, of Buffalo.
