Otto Kuehnel has resigned his posi- 

 tion as manager of the Fruitvale Nursery 

 at Montague, Mich., and moved to Hart, 

 Mich. 



The Northern Nurseries, of St. Paul, 

 Minn., have been incorporated \>y C. A. 

 BazUle, A. Sjoholm and E. W. Bazille, 

 the capital stock being $50,000. 



The difficulty which has attended the 

 importation of European nursery stock 

 promises to be greater than ever next 

 season. How long will it be before the 

 trade in America cat^'f^et along without 

 heavy imports each season f 



The nursery trade is working under 

 high pressure, to get as much work done 

 as possible before the arrival of summer. 

 The trade is apprehensive; work started 

 later than usual in most sections and a 

 few warm days will bring the season to 

 a sudden close. 



Placer ground rich enough in gold to 

 cause a stampede in any man's country 

 was taken from the foundation for a 

 warehouse for the State Nursery Co., at 

 Helena, Mont. Unfortunately, the build- 

 ers wh6 contracted for the excavation 

 reap the profits., , 



That a wide campaign of publicity, 

 and education for better gardens be un- 

 dertaken by nurserymen through their 

 associations is the suggestion of Mrs. H. 

 G. Mitchell, of the Mitchell Nursery Co., 

 Tacoma, Wash. Mrs. Mitchell hopes to 

 have the matter taken up at a nursery- 

 men's meeting to be held in Medford, 

 Ore., in June. John Watson, of Newark, 

 N. J., is the author of an article treat- 

 ing the matter from the standpoint of 

 how to increase the demand for nursery 

 stock. Mrs. Mitchell would use Mr. Wat- 

 son 's article as a foundation for the ad- 

 vertising campaign.

 will do so well in shade as in the open. 

 H. arborescens grandiflora will endure

The Market. 



The calm before the storm, the pre- 

 Easter lull in business, was in evidence 

 in the early part of last week, but fair 

 weather on Saturday caused the street 

 boys to buy heavily and the wholesale 

 stores cleaned out a lot of what woi^d 

 otherwise have been surplus stock. 

 About the only redeeming feature of 

 the market was the steady demand for

carnations. These have increased 

 slightly in price, but the prices of 

 other stock in general were low. The 

 light demand for roses, with an in- 

 creased supply, caused the price to drop 

 to a low figure and Beauties were hard 

 to move at any price. Sweet peas are 

 fairly plentiful and good stock is mov- 

 ing tolerably well, but shorts are cheap. 

 Violets are deteriorating in quality, 

 and. in price as well, while viJley is 

 moving rather slowly. Southern daffo- 

 dils are about over, but Narcissus 

 poeticus and short trumpet jonquils 

 will soon be seen. The green situation 

 remains about the same; both smilax 

 and plumosus are hard to secure.
