REVIEW OF SEASON 
[Continued] 
Pear Seedlings (Japan).—In good condition; supply 
light. 
Forest Tree Seedlings.—Not many grown here with the 
exception of Catalpa. On account of there being an over¬ 
supply of Catalpa last season, the plant was much lighter 
last spring. We do not look for a surplus next winter. 
Apple trees are doing fairly well now, but the blocks are 
small. Will be no surplus in the upper grades. Peach and 
plum are not grown here in a large way. There will be a 
light supply of these. Kieffer pear is making a satisfactory 
growth but there are not as many as usual. Cherry—a few 
more than last season. But they are not grown here 
extensively. A fine rain last night relieves conditions 
caused by a thirty day’s dry spell. 
J. H. Skinner & Co. 
GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES, FLA. 
The earlier portion of the season was unusually dry, and 
in some cases interfered with the securing of a good stand of 
cuttings and seedlings. Later on, however, the season has 
been very favorable, and although recent rains have 
interfered somewhat with cultivation, yet we have been able 
to work the stock out, and it is in very good growing condi¬ 
tion now, and promises to be fully up to our standard by 
fall. 
There appears to be considerable shortage in the supply 
of citrus trees in the state on Rough Lemon and Sour 
Orange stocks, but aside from this, the general lines of 
nursery stock are in about the usual supply and demand. 
Present conditions are very favorable for the winter 1910-11. 
PIONEER NURSERIES CO., SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 
We have had no rain whatever here this season, which 
makes stock planted out this spring grow rather slowly; 
even though we have irrigation there is nothing like a little 
rain. 
Apple grafts are almost a failure, and there is a general 
shortage on most lines of nursery stock in this vicinity. 
The outlook for fruit is good. 
THE GRIFFING BROTHERS COMPANY, JACKSONVILLE, 
FLORIDA 
The severe drought in March, April and May seriously 
retarded spring growth on all kinds of nursery stock, 
especially pecans, citrus and peach trees. Other lines, such 
as roses, ornamentals, etc., were damaged, but not to the 
extent of the former. Since the June rains have com¬ 
menced, stock is growing very rapidly, but owing to the 
erratic season that we have had, the probabilities are that 
stock will be light this fall. 
Our own supply of budded and grafted pecan trees, 
citrus trees on citrus trifoliata roots, figs, Japan persim¬ 
mons, peaches, and field grown grafted rose bushes, also 
conifers from both seedlings and cuttings, is the largest this 
season we have ever had, and aside from the fact that the 
sizes will not run as large as we would have liked, the stock 
promises to be of the very best quality. 
Taking it as a whole, we consider the nursery conditions 
in the South the best they have been in the past fifteen or 
twenty years, there having been a steady increase in 
demand for stock in the past three or four years, which to¬ 
gether with the interest in the South’s development shown 
throughout the country, indicates that this increasing 
demand will continue for the next four or five years, and 
probably indefinitely. This increasing demand is not 
alone for fruit and nut trees, but for ornamental plantings 
as well. 
W. S. GRIESA FELLOWSHIP 
The University of Kansas is conducting a research fellow¬ 
ship in Entomology for an extensive and fundamental 
investigation into the most practical and feasible means of 
dealing with the Woolly Aphis in nursery stock. The 
fellowship was established by Mr. W. S. Griesa, one of the 
leading nurserymen in the Middle West and proprietor of 
the Mount Hope Nurseries, Lawrence, Kansas. Mr. H. W. 
Lohrenz, a graduate research student of Entomology, 
University of-Kansas, has received the appointment as 
fellow and began his work on June 15th. 
VACATION IN EUROPE 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Chase, Huntsville, Ala. and D. S. 
Lake, Shenandoah, la, sailed Wednesday morning, July 
20th, on the “Majestic,” White Star Line, for Europe. 
They expect to be gone a month and to have the trip of their 
lives. They will make a study of the French nurseries.
