The prospects for fall business in ap])le trees are fair 
and the trees will j^rade good. Our leaders will be Duchess, 
Wealthy, Okabena, Jewells Winter and Greenings. 
In pear trees the prospects are average and the trees will 
grade good. Our leaders will be Keiffer, Bartlett, and 
Flemish Beauty. 
In plum trees the pros]3ects for fall business are good and 
the trees will grade good. The .su])])ly is perhaps a little 
smaller than usual. Our leaders will be Americana and 
Chickasaw varieties. Comi^ass Cherry-Plum, Hansen Hy¬ 
brids. 
gardens and use heavily of ornamentals of all kinds. Con¬ 
siderable municipal ])lantings are being done. 
Very truly yours, 
Lake City, Minn. The Jewell Nursery Co. 
Owing to the drought the ap]:)le trees will grade fifty per 
cent lighter than usual. Some varieties will be short but 
we shall have a suq^lus of Stayman’s Winesap, Jonathan and 
Rome Beauty and these we shall carry as our leaders. 
Pear trees will also run 50 per cent lighter than usual. 
Our leaders in the.se will be Keiffer and Garber.

new packing house, with railroad siding.” 
In cherry trees the prospects are about the average and 
the trees will grade good. We have a fair supply of Sour 
Cherry, but may be short on the sweet varieties. Our lead¬ 
ers will be Early Richmond and Montmorency. 
The stock of small fruits is up to the standard of former 
years, the greatest demand being for currants and goose¬ 
berries. There seems to be a fair supply of all kinds. 
The past season has been a good growing one and business 
conditions are satisfactory. 
Ornamental stock has made a very satisfactory growth 
the past summer and the prospects for fall business are very 
good. There is a good demand in this locality for this class 
of stock. 
The demand for herbaceous stock is increasing, the 
heaviest being Paeonies, Phlox and Iris. 
Commercial orchard planting, we believe has very 
jDerceptibly decreased. A seemingly diminished demand 
or fruit stock in the older farming communities has been 
offset by demand for ornamentals and windbreaks. Town 
and city demand quite a quantity of fruit stock for back yard 
Plum trees will also run much lighter than usual and 
some varieties will be in surplus and others short. Of these 
we shall use the Japan varieties as our leaders. 
Some varieties of cherries will be short and others in 
surplus. Of the cherries we shall have Early Richmond 
and Montmorency as our specials. 
Many more of the peach trees will be in lighter grades 
than usual. Of these we shall have Elberta, Carman and 
Crawfords for specials. 
The stock of small fruits is not up to the standard of 
former years. There are no varieties in suri^lus and some 
varieties will be short. 
With no rain since July 4th and less than two inches 
since April 5th we are waiting for moisture. 
Very truly yours. 
New Haven, Mo. New Haven Nurseries. 
The demand in apple trees this fall will be light. They 
will grade largely one-half to five-eighths and five-eighths to 
eleven-sixteenths.
