Of shipments aggregating 10,000 fruit 

 trees sent by outside firms to nursery- 

 men at Taeoma, Wash, and vicinity, but 

 350 were rejected because of infection, 

 which Inspector T. A. Warnock says is a 

 new record for cleanliness. 



The pin oak, Quercus palustris, is 

 slowly coming into its own; it is to be 

 more largely used for street planting be- 

 cause of its many good qualities. There 

 is a general opinion that it is a tree of 

 slow growth, but this only applies to re- 

 cently transplanted stock; after a year 

 or two they will compare favorably in 

 growth with any of the better class of 

 shade trees. 



Another park is contemplated for New 

 York, of 4,000 acres, three times larger 

 than the largest park within the city and 

 five times the size of Central park. The 

 land is on Staten island, reaching from 

 the beach to the highlands in the center 

 of the island and commanding a glori- 

 ous view of the city and the sea. Its 

 cost is estimated at a million aiid a 

 half, a nominal sum, when the $5,000,- 

 OOC paid for Central park is considered. 

 It is proposed to call it Green park in 

 memory of the father of Greater New 

 York.

Visited St. Paul. — J. B. Agnew, of 

 Agnew, Cal. 



The Leonard Seed Co. is putting 

 twenty more bean picking machines in 

 its Chicago warehouse. 



A Chicago firm, not in the seed busi- 

 ness, has been fortunate enough to get 

 a carload of sweet corn from somewhere 

 in Nebraska. 



In a circular to the trade the West- 

 ern Seed and Irrigation Co. names many 

 advantages its new location at Fremont,

 well under way and it will be issued by

The seedsman's life is full of trouble: 

 Some of the cucumber growers who dis- 

 posed of their crops a month ago at what 

 was then considered a glorious price are 

 not friendly now to the dealers who 

 bought from them. 



A quart of cucumber seed when 

 weighed after milling will ordinarily go 

 sixteen ounces full. This year's crop 

 in most eases will not weigh better than 

 twelve ounces to the quart. 



This week at "Waterloo, Neb., the 

 wholesale growers at that place are offer- 

 ing $S per 100 pounds for Evergreen 

 and other late varieties of sweet corn to 

 the farmers who have crops that were 

 not contracted. 



Santa Paula, Cal. — Bodger & Son 

 have shipped eight tons of tomato seed 

 and thirteen car loads of Lima beans. 

 The firm is shipping considerable quan- 

 tities of Lima beans to New Zealand, 

 where they have a representative this 

 season. 



When a thirteen-aere patch of cucum- 

 bers, which, right up to the cutting, gave 

 as good a promise of a full yield as any- 

 thing ever could, pans out only 400 

 pounds of seed it is small wonder that 

 prices are high and per cent of deliveries 

 low. 



The Missouri VaUey Seed Co., St. 

 Joseph, Mo., filed articles of incorpora- 

 tion November 21, capital paid up $10,- 

 000; 100 shares, of which A. G. Sam- 

 uels, former proprietor, holds forty-nine 

 shares; Walter Cash, one share, and L. 

 O. Weakly, fifty shares. Mr. Samuels 

 continues in active management of the 

 business.
