Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis., 

 June 28 to 30, 1916. 



Herbert E. Latter, Norman P. Coffin 

 and C. L. Eimlinger, of Wilmington, Del., 

 have incorporated the W. B. Davis Green- 

 house Co. at $200,000. Fruit and shade 

 trees are the principal products. 



The season has been most favorable 

 for the nursery trade. The late spring 

 gave excellent opportunity to get orders 

 out and planting done, while recent rains 

 have helped greatly in giving the stock 

 a good start. 



The McKinney Nursery Co., of McKin- 

 ney, Tex., has been a successful bidder 

 for government contracts covering the 

 planting of shrubs and trees on the 

 grounds of federal buildings in several 

 southern cities. 



The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, 111., 

 has found so good an opening in the 

 florists' trade for evergreens and other 

 ornamentals, that it is going in on im- 

 ported forcing stock, azaleas, aucubas, 

 lily bulbs, etc. 



Nurserymen will be interested in the 

 decision of the Washington Supreme 

 court in the case of Meehan vs. Ingalls, 

 reported in the Seed Trade Department 

 of this issue. It concerns the recovery of 

 the price of apple and pear seeds that 

 failed to germinate. 



William A. Peterson, Chicago, is ab- 

 sent from home in peony season for the 

 first time in many years. The Peterson 

 family for a part of this week is at Rich- 

 mond, Ind., where the eldest son, Harold, 

 is graduating from the Quaker college 

 of Earlham. Harold Peterson purposes 

 to become a missionary. The younger 

 son, Norman, is in the office of Peter- 

 son Nursery.
