Cannan peaehes. 
Augusta, Ga. P. J. Berckmans Co. 
FRUIT TREES ARE SELLING WELL 
4. Is THE Demand for Fruit Trees Holding up, and 
DO YOU Think it will Continue? 
No question in our minds but what there is going to be a 
strong demand in the future for the fruit stoek; for just as 
good apples ean be grown in New England as in the North¬ 
west. All that is wanted is for it to be handled as they 
handle theirs in that seetion. We have the soil, and the 
varieties, and can ]3roduce a better quality of apples, and we 
have plenty of land to plant them on. 
Manchesteri Conn. C. R. Burr & Co. 
No. 
5. Framingham, Mass. W. B. Whittier & Co. 
I do not think it up to last year, and it will be less next 
year. The craze is waning. 
N. Abington, Mass. W. H. Wyman. 
We see no reason for it becoming less. With us it seems 
to be on the increase. 
Vincennes, Ind. H. M. Slmpson &■ Sons. 
The demand for fruit trees is holding up in some sections 
of the country, while in other sections it is not as strong as it 
has been the pa.st few years. I think it will continue to be 
reasonably good—although I don’t think commercial orchard 
planting in every locality will be quite as large as it has been 
the past few years. 
Shenandoah, Iowa. D. S. Lake. 
The demand for fruit trees is good with us, and we do not 
see any reason why it should not continue. There will be a 
lessening of demand for apple for commercial planting in 
many sections, where they get pretty well supplied, and 
possibly there will be seasons soon, when the demand for 
apple trees for commercial planting will be less than it has 
been for several years now. We must expect this. 
Shenandoah, Iowa. E. S. Welch. 
No. 
Charles City, Iowa. Sherman Nursery Co. 
Yes. 
Rochester, N. Y. 
Charlton Nursery Co. 
Yes, for another season, at least. 
Topeka, Kans. J. H. Skinner & Co. 
Yes, and we think it will 
continue so the coming season. 
W. & T. Smith Co. 
Geneva, N. Y. 
The demand for fruit trees 
continues good. 
Bobbink & Atkins. 
Rutherford, N. J. 
The demand for fruit trees with me is growing. Orders 
more than doubled those of 
last season, and I believe they 
will continue, for this section, 
at least. 
L. M. Empie. 
Johnstown, N. Y. 
Our demand on fruit trees 
this year is lighter than usual. 
Chestnut Hill, Pa. 
The Berckmans Nursery fronting on Washington Road 
Andorra Nurseries. Cleveland, Tenn. 
The future outlook and 
demand for fruit trees could 
be maintained by encouraging 
only such planting as would 
give value received, and fur¬ 
nishing good stock. Other¬ 
wise, there will no doubt in 
time be a reaction. 
The Winfield Nurs. Co. 
Winfield, Kans. 
The demand is good for 
first-class stock, and we be¬ 
lieve it will continue. The 
outlook is good for the nur¬ 
serymen who produce first- 
class goods. 
Easterly Nursery Co. 
There has been a strong demand for fruit trees of special 
kinds, while other kinds have not been called for at all 
scarcely. 
Kennett Square, Pa. The Rakestraw-Pyle Co. 
Unusual demand. Yes, for a few years. 
Beverly, Ohio. W. F. Mitchell & vSon. 
We have no cause to complain, as we sold everything we 
had to offer. 
Harrisville, W. Va. R. B. Harris. 
The demand for small fruit plants seems to be equal to 
that of any previous year. 
Salisbury, Md. W. F. Allen. 
We do not see how the demand for fruit trees can be less 
than now, although there might be some factors that might 
retard the demand of which we are not aware. 
Greenfield, Ind. J. K. Henby & Son. 
The demand for fruit trees is good and we think it will 
continue. 
Bridgeport, Ind. C. M. Hobbs & Sons. 
Spring trade has Vieen very satisfactory, and will clean up 
closer than for several years. We have practically no surplus 
in any line. Look for good demand for fall with shortages 
in many lines, especially apple, peach, plum, and strong 
advance in cherry. 
Vincennes, Ind. W. C. Reed. 
For a time at least, but we are afraid that the plantings 
will be too large and an overproduction will follow. 
Baltimore, Md. Franklin Davis Nursery Co. 
Yes, and everything here indicates an increase. 
Salisbury, Md'. Chas. M. Peters. 
The demand for fruit trees is holding up well, especially 
on apple and peach trees, and we think it will continue. 
Westminster, Md. The Westminster Nursery. 
We think there will be the usual sales made this season, 
as we have a considerable increase over last season through 
agents, but have made it by increasing our force. 
Richmond, Va. W. T. Hood & Co.
