320 MINNESOTA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



tion trip of nurseries in Southern Minnesota, speaks of some things he noticed 

 as follows: 



"The nurseries look in particularly fine condition, except that the destruc- 

 tive leaf hopper has begun seriously injurious work in one or two. We are 

 fighting the same now with special apparatus in two of the larger nurseries. 



"I found the maple trees in the streets of Luverne loaded with the Maple 

 Scale, which we have to some extent in Minneapolis, and which is also com- 

 plained of as appearing very suddenly in South Dakota at Sioux Falls. I do 

 not think that the trees will necessarily be injured by this pest, because para- 

 sites are quite likely to appear to reduce its numbers materially, as well as 

 climatic conditions. Pruning the tiets ard burnirg the cuttings at this time 

 would be a decided help." 



Smai,!. Fruits at the World's Fair in June and July. — The exhibit 

 of small fruits at the Minnesota exhibit, World's Fair, commencing in the 

 middle of June, has been well sustained up to the time of this writing, July 

 23d, and without doubt will be until the season is over. During the last two 

 weeks of June, strawberries were the only small fruit sent there, and an 

 exhibit approximating 150 plates of this fruit was kept upon the shelves. Re- 

 ports from the World's Fair received under date of July 20th speak of 257 

 plates of small fruits being on exhibition, besides approximately 140 plates 

 of apples. The small fruit exhibit has included in its season nearly every 

 variety of fruit in the line generally cullivated, and the list of contributors is 

 large. In another place in this number will be found a report from Mr. A. K. 

 Bush as to the strawberry exhibit, he being at the World's Fair at that season. 

 There being no assistant at the fruit exhibit during the first half of July no 

 formal report has been made of that period. Mr. Clarence Wedge is with the 

 exhibit at this time and will be until August first, and we hope to hear from 

 him in regard to the Minnesota fruit show at St. Louis in the next issue of 

 our monthly.
