The force of laborers at the D. Hill 

 nursery, Dundee, 111., has been between 

 125 and 150 per day this spring. The 

 company maintains a camp for its 

 workers. 



The Lookout Nursery, of Chattanooga, 

 Tenn., has been capitalized at $10,000, 

 with 8. K. Howell, F. D. Landis, W. L. 

 Frierson, Fred Grindler and L. M. Cole- 

 man as incorporators. 



The American Peony Society will hold 

 its annual meeting and exhibition at New 

 York June 9 to 11. Copies of the pre- 

 mium list will be sent to any nurseryman 

 who writes George W. Nash, secretary 

 New York Horticultural Society, Bronx 

 park, New York city. 



C. R. Burr, manager of the C. R. 

 Burr & Co. nurseries, Manch^ter, Conn., 

 recently found trouble in getting labor- 

 ers at $2.50 per day, so he consulted with 

 a state labor commissioner, who discov- 

 ered that there were idle men at Norwich. 

 Mr. Burr went to Norwich, engaged 

 seventeen men and carried them to Man- 

 chester by automobile. He could not find 

 a boarding place for the men, so the old 

 office building was fitted up as a bunk- 

 house. A cook was hired and the place 

 became a merry spot. Later Mr. Burr 

 went to "Waterbury for twenty more men. 

 When the Burr nurseries need men, they 

 need them badly.

ping documents by the British censor 

 and saving valuable time in transmis- 

 sion of these papers to American im- 

 porters, the British embassy at Wash- 

 ington has sent out the further state- 

 ment as follows: 



"It will, however, not be practicable 

 to carry out the arrangements contem- 

 plated unless the documents, whether 

 bills of lading, consular invoices, or 

 other similar papers, are forwarded un- 

 accompanied by any other mail matter, 

 in special bags labeled or marked 'ship- 

 ping documents.' These bags shall be 

 forwarded by the vessel carrying the 

 cargo to which the documents in ques- 

 tion relate." Curtis Nye Smith. 



QUAKANTINE REGULATIONS. 



The federal statute which authorizes 

 the Secretary of Agriculture to estab- 

 lish, by regulations to be made by him 

 from time to time, quarantine boun- 

 daries against dangerous plant diseases 

 and insect pests, and forbids common 

 carriers to receive for transportation 

 goods covered by such regulations unless 

 such goods have been inspected and the 

 package containing them is certified 

 by the prxiper officers, was involved in 

 a recent case of the United States 

 versus the Adams Express Co., in the 

 District court of Massachusetts. The I

Pyramidal Dox 



Yes, these are fine— the small 

 plants as well as the big speci- 

 mens. Full, compact, nicely de- 

 veloped, and you can secure 

 matched pairs that cannot be 

 told apart. 



Natural Form Box 



These plants are in the form 

 which tliey make when uncheck- 

 ed by shearing. A little taller 

 than they are broad. It seems 

 to be a popular form from the 

 way they sell. Sure to appeal 

 to those who do not admire the 

 closely clipped specimens.
