demand is general, Paeonies, Phlox and Iris seeming to take 
the lead. 
Elizabeth, N. J. Elizabeth Nursery Company. 
The past season has been an exceptionally favorable one 
for ornamental stock, with thrifty, sturdy growth. A brisk 
demand and a constant inquiry speak well for a busy fall 
season. The deriiand for plants is constantly growing in 
this locality. 
The demand for herbaceous plants is increasing and we 
have been hard pressed to meet it Iris, Phlox and Peonies 
seemingly being the most called for. 
The wonderful development of home and municipal 
beautification by judicious planting of ornamentals is in¬ 
creasing property values and promoting home-pride and 
comforts country wide. 
Very truly yours, 
Biltmore, N. C. Biltmore Nurseries. 
The ornamental stock has made a very good growth 
considering the very dry weather we have had. We do not 
do very much in this line of stock. 
With apples the prospects for fall business are good, 
considering. They will grade light and we shall carry 
Rome Beauty as a leader. 
With the pear trees the prospects for fall business are 
normal. They will grade very good, with Keiffer as our 
leader. 
With plum trees the prospects for fall business are slow. 
They will grade very good and we shall carry as our leaders 
Moore’s Arctic and Shipper’s Pride. 
With cherry trees the propsects for fall business are good 
and the trees will grade very good. The leaders we shall 
have are Early Richmond, English Morello and Mont¬ 
morency. 
With peach trees the prospects for fall business are very 
good and the trees will grade light. Our leader will be the 
Elberta. 
The stock of .small fruits we think is up to the stand¬ 
ard of former years, Red Raspberry being in the greatest 
demand. 
All through the fruit stock there will be some varieties 
short and some in surplus. 
Very truly yours, 
M0.SC0W, Ohio. Ernst Nurseries. 
The prospects for fall business in apples are fair and the 
trees will grade good. There will be a surplus of Yellow 
Transparent and William’s Early Red will be short. Oru 
leaders will be Yellow Transparent, William’s Early Red 
and Stayman’s Winesap. 
The prospects for fall business in peaches are the best 
in years, though the trees will mostly be in the smaller 
sizes. The stock of Elberta will be in surplus and the Belle 
of Georgia, Francis and Denton will be short. Our leaders 
will be Elberta, Carman and Belle of Georgia. 
The stock of small fruits will be up to the standard of 
former years, the greatest demand being for the St. Regis 
Red Raspberry and Eldorado Blackberry. 
Bridgeville, Delaware. Myers Sons. 
Considering the very dry summer the growth made by 
ornamental stock has been very good, and the prospects 
for fall business are excellent. .The demand in this locality 
is very good. 
The demand for herbaceous stock is increasing, perennial 
Phlox, Paeonies, Delphinium, Foxglove, etc., being in most 
demand. 
At the Connecticut Fair, which has just closed its most 
successful show, we exhibited our collection of evergreens, 
shrubs and perennial Phlox, for which we received first prize 
on each. Very truly yours, 
Hartford, Conn. W. W. Hunt & Co.
