State Forester Frank W. Rane Is 

 busy distributing information concern- 

 ing the new tree disease, the white 

 pine blister rust. He offers the co- 

 operation of himself and his depart- 

 ment in assisting tree owners through- 

 out the state in preserving the forests. 

 Mr. Rane has sent out a circular letter 

 containing much information in addi- 

 tion to the foregoing: a pamphlet on 

 the white pine blister rust and an ap- 

 plication blank, which a tree owner 

 may fill out and send to Mr. Rane If 

 he wants the state to make an exami- 

 nation of his trees at a cost sufficient 

 to cover the traveling expenses of the 

 inspectors. 



NEW YORK. 



A. T. Boddington left on Monday, 

 21st, for a few days recreation at Bel- 

 fast, Me. 



Peth & Duggan will open their new 

 seed store at 87 Barclay street on 

 September 1. 



James M. Thornton & Co.'s seed 

 store was closed all day last Saturday 

 on account of the funeral of Mrs. 

 Thorburn. 



New York seems natural once more 

 now that John Young is back at his 

 post again after one month's absence 

 in the South. Mr. Young is very much 

 elated over his experience in Texas. 

 He cannot speak too highly of Presi- 

 dent-elect Kerr's efficiency in the 

 work of organizing and carrying 

 through the local Convention details. 

 He says that Horticulture's note 

 of approval in last week's issue was 

 well merited and not too strong. 



The exhibition of gladioli at Bronx 

 Botanical Garden last Saturday was 

 very interesting. T. A. Havemeyer 

 showed a very extensive collection of 

 the best sorts, among them being many 

 new ones. John Lewis Childs was 

 also a large exhibitor, his display in- 

 cluding many of the new primulinus 

 hybrids. James Stuart staged a good 

 lot of hardy herbaceous flowers and 

 some fine buddleias. Bobbink & At- 

 kins showed their hybrid mallows and 

 the Botanic Garden was represented 

 by an interesting group of hardy her- 

 baceous flowers.
