Joseph Ijang, one of Chicago's well- 

 known florists, passed away at his 

 home, 2010 Melrose street, early Sun- 

 day morning. May 15th, after a brief 

 illness with peritonitis. Joseph Lang 

 was born in Elgeswerer, Baden, in 

 1S54, and left the Fatherland thirty 

 years ago, spending a short time first 

 in Dubuque. la., and then coming to 

 Chicago, where he has resided ever 

 since. After a few years as foreman 

 of the greenhouses at Lincoln Park, 

 he bought a place on the north side 

 and erected greenhouses and a store, 

 which business will be continued by 

 Mrs. Lang, who with one daughter and 

 three sons survive him. The funeral 

 was Tuesday, May 17 and interment 

 at St. Boniface cemetery. 



In our notes on the approaching 

 seedsmen's convention at Atlantic 

 City, which appeared 'in issue of May 

 14, the St. Charles Hotel was men- 

 tioned as headquarters for the con- 

 vention. We are informed that this 

 selection was as originally made, but 

 it was afterwards changed and the 

 Hotel Rudolf chosen instead.

GROWTH OF THE r^ORTHWEST- 



ERN APPLE INDUSTRY. 



As gold was the strong magnet 

 which sent the first Americans across 

 the unknown wastes of this continent 

 to the California coast in 1849, so to- 

 day the apple, the emperor of fruit, is 

 attracting thousands to the western 

 orchard belts. Millions of dollars have 

 been invested in apple lands west of 

 the Rockies during the last decade and 

 beautiful orchards of young trees to- 

 day mark the spots where but yester- 

 day was a waste of brown, sagebrush- 

 covered desert. 



Reports from nurseries and growers 

 in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mon- 

 tana and British Columbia are that be- 

 tween 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 one and 

 two-year saplings will be planted in 



the four states and provinces before 

 the close of 1910. This means that 

 more than 50,000 acres of land will be 

 added to the area already under culti- 

 vation, thus giving a total of 400,000 

 acres in fruit in 1915.
