A MILLION Ithb
Wonderful Year's Record for Plant
ing in Eastern Washington
and Oregon.
A million f unit treea have been
planted in eastern Washington and
eastern Oregon the last year, accord
ing to nurserymen and orcbardists who
are acquainted with the facts. Apple
Layers bare beeu folly over tbe terri
tory and state tbat everywhere can be
soon young orchards, with tbo fall
planting just about over.
' Tbe success of apple growers in tbe
last two or three years baa ioduoed
farmers everywhere to plant fruit
trees, particularly apples, it being es
timated tbat fully half of tbe trees
planted tbis year were planted with
tbe purpose of producing commercial
apple orchards. About this section
large plantiugs have been made. Tbe
Blalock Fruit company, with 1500
acres of orobard already, planted 11,
000 apple trees tbis year, and num
erous other concerns have planted from
2000 to B00O.
One agent, who travels over eastern
Washintgon only, sold this season
57,000 apple trees, in addition to tbe
small orders of ornamental and otber
fruit trees. lie bad to refuse an order
of 0000 apple trees ot Rome Beauty
variety because his bouse could not
furnish tbe trees. It is said tbat every
nursery in tbe entire district is sold
out completely of all standard varieties
of winter apples, especially those with
etioug red coloring.
It is said tbat every nursery in tbe
northwest is increasing its plant and
preparing . for a greatly increased
business noxt year. Inasmuch as it
takes two or three years to develop a
frnit tree ready for planting in an
orobard the enpply will not be greatly
increase next year, tnt every effort
will be made to sooure enlarged stocks
at the earilest possible day. Every
nursery has done neurly doable tbe
business of last year with the closing
of tbe season, and never have tbe ship
ments cleared out tbe stock so com
pletely. TO
