THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
About stationary, increasing slightly. 
South Haven, Mich. Frank A. Wilkin. 
Planting about stationary in this locality, but wholesale 
trade promises to increase. Cherry crop fair and prices 
very high for fruit. 
Vincennes, Ind. W. C. Reed. 
There are very few cherry orchards in this vicinity. 
Think the planting is on the increase. We grow the trees 
in the nursery, and the demand seems to be increasing. 
Vincennes, Ind. H. M. Simpson & Sons. 
Cherry planting is on the increase. Not enough raised 
for home demand or home market.

one last year, which made good returns to the planter.

ing. Last two years about stationary.

2. IS THE FRUIT GROWN FOR THE CANNING 
FACTORY, OR IS IT SHIPPED TO PUBLIC MAR¬ 
KETS? 
Mostly home use, very little for commercial purposes. 
Yalesville, Conn. Barnes Bros. Nursery Co. 
Only for home use, or lightly for market. I think there 
is no cannery in Connecticut. 
Storrs, Conn. A. G. Gulley. 
Canning factory. 
Cayuga, N. Y. H. S. Wiley. 
Shipped to public markets. 
Dansville, N. Y. W. H. Hartman. 
Home consumption uses it all.

Canning factory. 
Geneva, N. Y. W. & T. Smith Co. 
The fruit is grown almost exclusively for canning. 
Rochester, N. Y. C. M. Hooker & Sons. 
Both. 
Trumansburg, N. Y. D. R. Pease. 
Most of the demand for cherries is on the part of the 
canneries. 
Westfield, N. Y. John W. Spencer. 
The quantity required by canning factories is on the 
increase.

Half canning, half market. Some fancy in 10 pound- 
boxes. 
Monroe, Mich. I. E. Ilgenfritz’ Sons Co. 
While a considerable per cent is sold to canning factories, 
most of it is shipped to the large cities. 
East Lansing, Mich. L. R. Taft. 
Market. 
Bridgman, Mich. C. E. Whitten. 
Mostly for canning factories. 
South Haven, Mich. Frank A. Wilken. 
Most fruit grown for local market. There is some shipp¬ 
ing, but no canning factory demand. 
Vincennes, Ind. W. C. Reed. 
Here the home market consumes it all. In many sections, 
the cannery takes the bulk of the crop. 
Vincennes, Ind. H. M. Simpson & Sons. 
For home market and home demand. No canning 
factories. 
The Coe, Converse & Edwards Co. 
Fort Atkinson, Wis. 
Large plantings made for canning but present crop grown 
for market. 
Sturgeon Bay, Wis. A. L. Hatch. 
The bulk for local use, a small per cent shipped. 
Princeton, Ill. Arthur Bryant & Son. 
Public markets altogether. 
Des Moines, la. Watrous Nursery Co. 
Very little of the crop is canned here at the present time, 
as the cherry belt is so limited that there is a great demand 
for cherries in the Dakotas and Minnesota, and same are 
shipped in large quantities during the cherry season. 
Des Moines, la. Wragg Nursery Co. 
Shipped to public market. 
Parsons, Kans. 
Both. 
Salt Lake City, Utah. 
Public markets. 
Roy, Utah. 
E. P. Bernardin. 
Utah Nursery Co.

Both for canneries, and for shipment to eastern markets. 
Eastern Oregon cherries are all sent to middle and western 
states, except their Royal Annes, which now come to Port¬ 
land for canning or packing in brine. 
Portland, Ore. ' J- B. Pilkington. 
In localities of canneries, there is a certain amount grown 
for canning purposes. The large percentage of stock grown 
is for eastern shipment. 
Sunnyside, Wash. The Sunnyside Nursery Co. 
3. WHAT CLASS OR CLASSES OF CHERRIES 
ARE MOST POPULAR? 
Concensus: The sour cherry still maintains its 
popularity as a moneymaker; only on the Pacific 
Coast does the sweet cherry remain in the ascendant
