The annual report of the Nebraska 

 State Horticultural Society for 1915 is 

 now off the press. The report contains 

 three hundred pages of the latest in- 

 formation on fruit, flower, vegetable 

 and tree growing in Nebraska. It is 

 fully illustrated with twenty-seven full 

 page engravings of fruit, flower and 

 vegetable scenes on Nebraska farms. 

 It is a most creditable production. 



A FIELD OF WHITE AND RED PINE, AT OLD TOWN NURSERIES, 



■»* 



-^^mf 



The widcbpiead iuteiest iu refor- 

 estation and the utilization of run-out 

 farm tracts for the production of tim- 

 ber has made a big demand for young 

 trees in this country. The prohibition 

 against the importation of pines and 

 other disease infested stock from 

 abroad acts as a further encourage- 



meul for local production. One of the 

 several enterprises engaged in this 

 work in the vicinity of Boston is the 

 Old Town Nurseries of M. P. Haend- 

 ler, and the accompanying illustration 

 gives an idea of what Mr. Haendler is 

 doing in that line. There is practical- 

 ly no limit to the demand for material 

 of this class at the present time.
