NEWS NOTES. 



H. H. Nicholson and A. C. Grasl 

 have entered into partnership and 

 purchased the greenhouse of C. A. 

 Nicholson at Barneveld, N. Y. 



Finland has twelve schools of horti- 

 culture and twenty-four schools of 

 agriculture. The Finns are among the 

 best educated nations in Europe. 



A new frame building is being 

 erected for the Elm City Nursery Co. 

 at Edgewood, Conn., to be used for 

 storage and packing, increasing ma- 

 terially their facilities in this direc- 

 tion. 



The trustees of the Ohio State Uni- 

 versity, Columbus, have engaged Olm- 

 sted Brothers of BcKSton, to plan and 

 carry out a scheme for the beautifying 

 of the university grounds comprising 

 325 acres. 



New York's forests are disappearing 

 as rapidly as those of her sister 

 States. In the past year 789,215,523 

 feet of lumber were cut. The northern 

 counties are being rapidly denuded of 

 their valuable forests. 



Over 1,000 men are now employed 

 in the work of destroying brown-tail 

 and gypsy moths under the supervision 

 of the moth suppression bureau of 

 Massachusetts. Many more are in the 

 employ of private parties. 



Prof. W. M. Munson, horticulturist 

 or the Maine agricultural experiment 

 .station at Orono, is making a collec- 

 tion of the native Maine apples that 

 seem to be worthy of propagating. He 

 will welcome any specimens that may 

 be sent to him for examination. 



In addition to the $20,000 left to the 

 Rhode Island hospital by Henry G. 

 Russell for laying out and beautifying 

 the grounds, his widow has caused a 

 greenhouse to be erected at a cost of 

 $8,000 and provided for its future 

 maintenance by an endowment of 

 $15,000. 



The commissioners at the Portland 

 Exposition awarded two gold medals 

 to Luther Burbank for plums and 

 Iihotographs of new fruits and flowers: 

 and geld medals to the California 

 State Horticultural Society and the 

 California Nursery Company at Niles 

 for fruits and vegetables. 



In memory of her brother, Charles 

 Walcott Burr, a beautiful stretch of 

 land situated in Auburndale. has been 

 presented to the city of Newton, 

 Mass., by Miss Lucy Burr, for use 

 either as a park or recreation ground. 

 The land has been graded and made 

 attractive with shrubs and flowers. 



The new horticultural building at 

 the Massachusett's Agricultural Col- 

 lege has been named Wilder hall by 

 the trustees in honor of Marshall P. 

 Wilder. Mr. Wilder was foremost in 

 pushing the organization of the college, 

 was one of the first trustees, and do- 

 nated many plants, shrubs and trees 

 for the grounds as well as books for 

 the library. 



The federal government will make 

 an extensive exhibit at the Sportsmen's 

 Show which will open at Mechanic's 

 Hall, Boston, on Christmas day. The 

 exhibit will occupy the whole of the 

 west wall of the great triangular ex- 

 hibition hall. It will include illustra- 

 tions of tree culture, of forest botany, 

 collections of seeds, and of insects in- 

 jurious to trees, of native woods, of 



forest industries and of instruments 

 and tools used by foresters and by 

 lumbermen. 



The gypsy moth is engaging the at- 

 tention of the otficials of the Rhode 

 Island Agricultural College, who are 

 prime movers in the matter of securing 

 State help for the destruction of this 

 pest. There seems to be a feeling 

 throughout the State that it would be 

 well to heed this appeal before the 

 need assumes such magnitude that 

 even with State assistance it may be 

 a hard task to perform. 



The San .Jose scale is also spreading 

 at an alarming rate in parts of Rhode 

 Island, where, if its progress is not 

 soon arrested, it will in destructiveness 

 equal the gypsy moth. The San Jose 

 scale may be the easier of the two to 

 control, but what is needed is a sys- 

 tematic warfare without option.
