 death of their mail carrier, Philip Ses- 

 ternhen. He had been a daily visitor 

 for over 12 years. 



Worcester, Mass. — Some vandal en- 

 tered the greenhouses of Chas. E. 



Pish & Co. on the night of March 12, 

 broke over 700 lights of glass and cut 

 over 100 shrubs close to the ground. 



Keatchie, La.— The Southern Nut & 

 Nursery Co. has added 600 acres to 

 its present tract and will plant same 

 with trees by April 1. The soil in 

 this location is peculiarly suited to 

 pecans. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — Fumigation meth- 

 ods in this county have so impressed 

 the Japanese Government that an of- 

 fer has been made and accepted by 

 Erwin Dingle, secretary of the Horti- 

 cultural Commission, to visit the do- 

 main of the Mikado in August and in- 

 troduce the process. 



Long Branch, N. J. — W. D. Robert- 

 son has resigned his position as gar- 

 dener to W. D. Kinney and will, on 

 May 1, start in business in the green- 

 houses that he has recently built on 

 his Monmouth Road property. Mr. 

 Robertson's name has become familiar 

 to the readers of HORTICULTURE 

 through the many prizes he has won. 



The complaint made by the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island 

 at a meeting on March 15, that the 



Rhode Island College at Kingston was 

 selling the product of its greenhouses 

 in Providence in competition with the 

 regular growers, has brought a state- 

 ment from President Edwards of the 

 college. He plainly states that the ad- 

 ministration knew nothing of the al- 

 leged agreement with Prof. Wheeler, 

 but as soon as the matter was brought 

 10 the attention of the authorities, 

 steps were taken to discontinue the 

 sales.
