\Yry cold, and continued over a long period. Stock in 
nursery rows not damaged. 
New Carlisle, Ohio. W. N. Scarff. 
As our stoek matured nicely last fall, most of our fruit 
stock went through the winter in fairly good shape, except 
some tender varieties. Our heaviest loss was in some 
tender varieties of ornamentals and roses. 
Greenfield, Ind. J. K. Henby & Son. 
We had a very severe winter. Fortunately, we dug our 
most tender stock and saved it by putting in storage. The 
early fall rains injured the late growth, and the severe winter 
did a little damage to our o'ne year old apples. However, 
we have come out better this spring than expected. 
Bridgeport, Ind. C. M. Hobbs. 
Winter has been the most severe ever known at Vincennes. 
Stand of buds has been hurt considerably. One year sweet 
cherries were killed, and had to be cut back, also some tender 
sorts of apple. Sour cherry, one year, not hurt. Shrub¬ 
bery badly killed. All European plums were killed to snow 
line. 
Vincennes, Ind. W. C. Reed. 
Some injury—espeeially on one year apple. 
Vincennes, Ind. H. M. Simpson & Sons. 
The winter was severe, and did lots of damage to stock 
in general, especially to peach, privet, cherry, and figs. 
Baltimore, Md. Franklin Davis Nursery Co. 
Our winter was a long one with very few days that frost 
was out of the ground—a very unusual thing in our section, 
a steady cold. Two below zero was lowest, and that hap¬ 
pened but twice during the entire winter. Nothing injured 
in nursery rows. Never saw stock go through in better 
shape. 
Salisbury, Md. Chas. M. Peters. 
We had a most severe winter in this country. However, 
our stock standing in nursery row was not affected, or little, 
if any. 
Westminster, Md. The Westminster Nursery. 
Winter was cold from about first of January to early in 
March—then we had plenty of rain with very warm weath¬ 
er, which caused stock to bud very fast, and we could not get 
out stock before it was pushed very much, especially cherries 
and peaches. The winter did not hurt anything except some 
one year sweet cherry. 
Richmond, Va. W. T. Hood & Co. 
The winter was favorable. No cold to do damage to 
anything, the only unfavorable feature being an excess of rain. 
Glen St. Mary, Fla. Glen St. Mary Nurseries Co. 
We had a very severe winter, but in this locality, I don’t 
think much, if any, damage has been done to stock in the 
nursery row, as we had quite an amount of snow. 
Shenandoah, Iowa. D. S. Lake. 
The winter was very severe, setting in early; but for¬ 
tunately we had lots of snow during the most of our coldest 
weather. We had a very dry summer and rains didn’t 
come in time to start late growth, so stock was well ripened 
when winter set in. On this account, stock suffered less 
injury from winter in nursery row than during many milder 
winters in the past. 
Shenandoah, Iowa. E. S. Welch. 
Very severe, but with little wind. Some classes of apple 
injured in trunk here, but as a rule stock went through all 
right. 
Charles City, Iowa. Sherman Nursery Co. 
Hard winter; considerable damage done. 
Topeka, Kans. J. H. Skinner & Co. 
The enclosed photograph will give you an idea of some of 
the days we experienced during the past winter. The snow 
in this picture was six and one-half inches on the level. 
The winter was especially disagreeable and wet—rain com¬ 
menced in October and continued the entire winter. It was 
impossible to get in some parts of our nursery blocks for 
several weeks, on account of the soft condition of the soil. 
The planting of nursery stock was, in consequence, delayed, 
except in elevated sections where the soil was porous. We 
had to plant practically between rains, but we have had a 
remarkable strike and everything is making a fine start. 
Owing to the steady cold, figs were about only stock injured; 
these were frozen to the ground. 
Augusta, Ga. P. J. Berckmans Co. 
2. Have you any Difficulty with Cellared Stock? 
We wouldn’t have handled the trees in any other way, 
only out of storage, and we believe if the stock is handled 
properly after it has been shipped, the results will average 
better than stock dug fresh from the ground. 
Manchester, Conn. C. R. Burr & Co. 
Unusually cold, but plenty of snow and moisture, and no 
damage to nursery stock, with the exception of a slight 
damage to Mahaleb seedlings. 
Winfield, Kans. The Winfield Nursery Co. 
The winter here was continued bad weather from Decem¬ 
ber first to April first,—the worst winter we have had for 
probably twenty years, not as cold as we have had at times in 
past, but continuously bad. No injurious effects on nursery 
stock in rows. 
Cleveland, Tenn. Easterly Nursery Co. 
We cellar nothing, and do not believe in it. 
S. Framingham, Mass. American Forestry Co. 
No. 
S. Framingham, Mass. W. B. Whittier & Co. 
To no great extent. 
N. Abington, Mass. W. H .Wyman. 
No cellar. 
Callicoon, N. Y. Chas. G. Curtis. 
I lost all my peach and a good portion of my one year 
apples in the plant at Harrisville, W. Va. Stock at Green¬ 
brier, Tenn., came through all right. 
Harris\dlle, W. Va. R. B. Harris. 
The past winter in this section was one of the coldest and 
severest in the remembrance of our oldest inhabitants. 
Salisbury, Md. W. F. Allen. 
I had no difficulty with cellared stock. When the weather 
was very cold, I used a little heat to keep the temperature 
from going below 28 degrees. Did not cellar a great many 
trees, but had a quantity of small fruits and shrubs in storage. 
Johnstown, N. Y. L. M. Empie. 
None whatever. 
Geneva, N. Y. W. & T. Smith Co.
