planting is on the 
increase in our 
locality.

A marked increase. 
Brown’s Nurseries, Ont. Brown Bros. Co., Ltd. 
Very few cherries planted in this locality. Trees are 
short lived. 
Augusta, Ga. P. J- Berckmans Co. 
Increasing to date. 
Painesville, O. W. B. Cole. 
A slight increase, although there are not many cherry 
orchards around this vicinity, on account of the good land 
being devoted to the growing of nursery stock. 
Dansville, N. Y. Maloney Bros & Wells Co. 
In our judgment, cherry planting is about stationary. 
We simply judge by the demand we have for trees. This 
is a poor orchard section, and very few trees are planted 
near us. 
Dansville, N. Y. AIorey & Son. 
Increase. 
Monroe, Alich. L E. Ilgenfritz’ Sons Co. 
The planting in 1912 was much less than for the two or 
three years directly preceding and is likely to be still further 
reduced. 
East Lansing, Mich. L. R. Taft. 
About stationary.
