berry. 
Stephen Hoyt’s Sons, New Canaan, Conn., write: “We 
think we have the largest and finest stock of apple trees in the 
country. This is saying a good deal, but we believe it to be

immense stock of ornamentals.”

part in getting rid of it and all other pests.”

Victor H. Lowe, deputy inspector of the New York Agri¬ 
cultural Experiment Station, certifies that he has examined the 
nursery stock of Sears, Henry & Co., Geneva, N. Y., and finds 
no indication of the presence of San Jose scale, peach yellows, 
rosette, or other injurious insects or fungous diseases that 
might be transferred on nursery stock from the nursery to the 
orchard. 
L. A. Goodman, secretary of the Missouri Horticultural 
Society, says: “Reports from nearly every county of the state 
give the crop ranging from 50 per cent, to 100 per cent, mak¬ 
ing an average of about 75 per cent, for the state. Some of 
the orchards, which had such a heavy crop last year, of course, 
will not be so full, but there are thousands of young orchards 
all over the state that are just beginning to bear and the crop 
is not only a good one, but the apples will be extra fine and 
very perfect.”
