Crop Reports 
OHIO. 
Editor National Nurseryman. 
Conditions of nursery stock in the Miami valley, O., at this writing 
are about as follows: 
Apples, good condition, and growing nicely . 
Pears, some leaf blight on leaves. 
Cherries too wet, earlier in season, some blocks dropped their 
leaves prematurely and not as heavy and stocky as they generally are. 
Plums, good condition especially Japan sorts. 
Peaches, a very fine growth, large and stocky. 
Small fruits, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, all good. 
Phoneton, O. N. H. Alda ugh. 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
We have had a fairly good growing season, and outside of Plums every 
thing in this section is looking very well. It seems that there is a gen¬ 
eral failure of Plums throughout the country, so far as we are advised. 
Peach stock is not very plentiful, as the stands were not good. The 
apple stand is good; in fact, first-class, but we never know what we are 
going to be able to ship of Apple trees until we dig them. Trade has 
been good this season, and prices will no doubt be higher the coming 
fall and spring, on many things at least, than the past season.

ONTARIO. 
W e have had an exceptionally favorable season and everything is 
looking very fine with one exception, Aphis has been unusually 
prevalent and to a certain extent checked the growth of apple trees. 
We have had sufficient moisture and heat to make this somewhat of a 
model season. 
Winona. e. D. Smith. 
WESTERN NEW YORK. 
W e have had an ideal season for the growth of trees. It has been 
years, it ever before, that stock has done so well. We have been free 
*rom insects, and the foliage is as perfect now as it was in the month of 
June. W e are all very busy with our budding. The planting in Dans- 
viUe was very heavy this Spring and the demand for buds has been 
large, consequently, we are compelled to work over time. Sales thus 
lar have ruled about as last season, and a large amount of stock has 
already been booked. The Nurserymen of Dansville will have a pros¬ 
perous year.

THE NORTH WEST. 
The season so far has shown brisk trade in all parts of the North West. 
Crops through this section are in the main an assured success. The 
black rust scare, while fulfilled in some sections, has not proved to be an 
obstacle to the sales as a whole. No matter how the crop experts figure 
there is nearly always more money in the farmers' hands than a stam¬ 
peded press would lead one to suppose. The much advertised “Com¬ 
pass Cherry’ ’ which by the way should always be catalogued as “ Com¬ 
pass Cherry-Plum ”, seems to be taking a peculiarly strong hold on the 
Western fancy. From every hand come inquiries for buds and scions. 
We alone have received requests to furnish an aggregate of nearly half a 
million. It would be almost a shame to take the money. And yet it 
shows the trend. A prominent Iowa banker just wrote us 47 varieties 
of abuse for selling him*what proved to be “only a d- sour little 
plum ”—while from even as far away as Vermont we receive commenda¬ 
tory letters describing it as a “really wonderful production.” And 
occasionally we read in an up-to-date catalogue that in quality it is 
“equal if not superior to the MoreUo cherries.” Such is the “Com¬ 
pass.” Speaking of the weather , Minnesota has now for the fifth con¬ 
secutive year stayed outside the arid belt. Abundant rains have fol¬ 
lowed the summer through the upper Mississippi showing’a conspicuous 
high water mark almost unequalecl. Nursery, orchard, garden and 
forest alike show the effects. 
Lake City, Minn. R. A. 
THE SOUTH WEST. 
The nurseries of this country are in very good condition. Trees have 
made a fine growth, owing to plenty of rain. Dormant buds put in have 
not done so very well on account of the showers and some rebudding is 
necessary. 
As to orchards, the peach crop has been hurt by so much rain and the 
brown rot has been very prevalent. Apples and pears are making a 
nice crop, fine size, good color with but little apple scab so far as we 
have seen. Jonathan and Bellflower at this time are rather extra nice 
and are ready now for market. Ben Davis, which by the way in the Red 
River Fruit Belt is far superior to the Ben Davis of the North as was 
demonstrated fully last year at the World’s Fair, has pome apple scab 
but otherwise is of fine size and appearance and promises fine yield and 
good prices. These are the principal varieties and other standard varie¬ 
ties are doing equally as well. 
Preparations for Annual Meeting. 
The Committees appointed by the Texas Nurserymen’s Association 
in July in anticipation of the meeting of the American Association next 
year at Dallas, are awake and looking out for the interests of that Con¬ 
vention. The program committee of the American Association is 
endeavoring to have Prof. Wickson and Mr. Luther Burbank of Cali¬ 
fornia present. The Texas Committees on Entertainment and Attend¬ 
ance are equally active. 
We had the pleasure of a visit to Texas of President Albertson which 
proved to be very timely and much enjoyed by the Texas people. We 
are pleased especially to know that Mr. Albertson thought our July 
climate very fine, as we have good breezes nearly all the time.
