THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
Owing to general continued drought forest seedlings and 
one year stock in general will be shorter than usual and 
demand is greater with us than ever before. We have 
already sold short on some varieties of seedlings. 
Yours truly, 
McMinnville, Tenn. Forest Nursery & Seed Co. 
The prospects for fall business in apple trees are about 
average. The trees will grade heavy in caliper, about 
average in height, in good healthy condition.' Stock is 
pretty well balanced but we expect to have some Northwest 
Greening in surplus. We may be a little short on Yellow 
Transparent, Winesap and Janet. Our leaders will be 
Yellow Transparent, Duchess, Wealthy, Grimes’ Golden, 
Jonathan, Winesap, Windsor, Salome, Gano, Northwest 
Greening. 
We do not do much in pear trees. Our leaders in stand- 
adrs will be Flemish Beauty and Sheldon and in the dwarfs 
Louie Bon De Jersey and Duchess. In plum trees the 
prospects for fall business are good and the trees will be of a 
splendid grade. Our leaders will be Americans, i.e. Wyant, 
Wolf, Stoddard, etc. 
The prospects for fall bu.siness in cheiTy trees are good 
and the trees will grade good and strong. A few varieties 
Early^Richmond and Montmorency will be in surplus but 
we do not antici|)ate any varieties will be short. Our leaders 
will be early Richmond, Montmorency, English Morello, 
Terry and the Dukes. 
We do not do much in peach trees but the stock is good. 
The stock of small fruits is tiot up to the standard of 
fonner years excejjt in currants and gooseberries when the 
stock is good. No varieties will be in surplus but. there will 
be a shortage on strawberries and raspbemes. 
The stock of ornamentals has made a satisfactory growth 
this .summer and the demand in this locality is fair. 
The demand for herbaceous stock is slowly increasing, 
with Iris, Phlox and Paeonies most in demand. 
Arlington Nurseries & Fruit Farms. 
Arlington, Nebraska. 
The prospects for fall business are rather bad in apples 
and the stock will grade very fair. We shall have in surplus 
the Jonathan, Stayman’s, Rome Beauty and Delicious. 
We do not think we shall be short on any varieties. We 
shall carry as our leaders Jonathan, Gano, Rome Beauty, 
Wine Sap and Stayman’s Wine Sap. 
In pear trees fall business prospects are very good and 
the stock will grade good. We shall have no varieties in 
surplus and will be short on ’Anjou, Kieffer and Bartlett. 
Our leaders will-be Bartlett, Keifer and ’Anjou. 
In plum trees prospects for fall business are very good 
and the trees will grade good. We shall have no varieties 
in surplus and shall be short on the Satsuma. Our leaders 
will be Bradshaw, Peach, Satsuma and Dawson. 
Prospects for fall business in cherries are slow. The 
stock is good but we do not think we shall have any varieties 
short or in surplus. Our leaders will be Bing, Lambert, 
Napoleon and Windsor. 
The prospects for fall business in peach trees are bad. 
The trees will grade fine. We shall have in surplus the 
Elberta, Carman, Triumph and Crawford’s, but do not 
expect we shall be short on any. Our leaders will be El¬ 
berta, Crawford’s, Triumph, Early Elberta, Cannan, Mount¬ 
ain Rose, Orange Cling. 
In small fruits the stock seems to be up to the standard 
of former years, with the greatest demand for raspberries 
and blackbeiTies. We do not expect to have any varieties 
in surplus or short. 
Nursery stock started off very slow but has made good 
since July first. The prospects for fall business in orna¬ 
mentals is not good and the demand in this locality is very 
poor. 
Roy, Utah. Davis County Nurseries. 
There is an over supply of apples and the ]3rices are low. 
The trees will grade very heavy, with a .surjilus in all varieties 
grown. Leaders will be Jonathan, M. B. Twig, Gano, Ben 
Davis, etc. 
The prospects for fall business in pears are the best for 
years and the trees will grade medium to heavy. The largest 
surplus will be in the variety Garber. 
In plums the prospects are very good and the trees will 
grade medium, iV to % inch and under, with a small surjilus. 
Leaders will be the Southern varieties. 
With chertaes business is looking up and the trees will 
grade heavy, with the largest surplus in the Richmond. 
There is an over .sup])ly of Peach trees and prices are off. 
The trees will grade light over the southwest, with a surplus 
in all varieties grown. The leaders will be in commercial 
sorts. 
The stock of small fruits is up to the standard of fonner 
years and the demand is extra good, with the heaviest demand 
for Black and Dewberry plants. 
General rains, excessive over wide area, during early 
September will insure heavy planting. I consider the ]jresent 
season’s outlook best in five years over this section. 
Ornamental stock has not made as good a growth as usual. 
The prospects are for a heavy business this fall, increasing 
each season. The demand here is good.
