Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis., 

 June 28 to 80, 1916. 



Next week's A. A. N. meeting at Mil- 

 waukee promises to be the most interest- 

 ing in the history of the organization. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 recently issued Bulletin No. 742, "The 

 White Pine Blister Bust," of interest to 

 nurserymen who have had trouble because 

 of this disease. 



The National Apple Growers' Asso- 

 ciation, the first of its kind in the United 

 States, which was formed at a meeting 

 at the Planters ' hotel, St. Louis, June 6, 

 will hold its first annual convention at 

 St. Louis, August 2 and 3. The purpose 

 of the association is to prevent some mar- 

 kets from being flooded with apples, 

 while others do not have enough. Among 

 those at the meeting were: P. C. Stark, 

 of the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards 

 Co., Louisiana, Mo.; Prof. H. C. Irish, 

 president of the Missouri State Horticul- 

 tural Society; WUliam Perrine, president 

 of the Dlinois State Horticultural So- 

 ciety; H. M. Dunlap, of Savoy, 111.; E. 

 A. Simpson, of Vincennes, Ind. ; F. H. 

 Simpson, of Flora, 111.; J. M. Tanner,

PLANTS VIA ROTTERDAM. 



Only 325 cases of plants arrived last 

 week at New York on board the Hol- 

 land-America steamer Eyndam, from 

 Botterdam. The shipment was unusu- 

 ally small, considering the fact that 

 arrivals from Holland have been few 

 and far between and that it probably 

 marks the close of the season. The 

 consignees of the Byndam cargo, ac- 

 cording to the New York customhouse 

 papers, were as follows: 



Downing & Co., 39 cases plants. 

 P. C. Kuyper & Co., 9 cases plants; 2 cases 

 trees. 



R. F. Lang, 6 cases plants. 

 H. Langeler, 19 cases plants; 2 cases bulbs. 

 Loechner & Co., 71 cases plants. 

 Lunham & Moore, 77 cases plants. 

 McHutchlson A Co., 80 cases plants. 

 Maltua dc Ware, 25 cases plants.

 est and arboretum, in Wyoming county,

The machine was designed to set out 

 cabbage and tomato plants, but works 

 equally well with treees. It is about 

 the size of an ordinary mowing ma- 

 chine and is operated by three men and 

 two horses. One man drives the team 

 while the other two handle the seed- 

 lings. The machine makes a furrow, in 

 which the trees are set at any desired 

 distance, and an automatic device in- 

 dicates where they should be dropped. 



Two metal-tired wheels push and roll 

 the soil firmly down around the roots. 

 This is a desirable feature, it is said, 

 because the seedlings are apt to die if 

 this is not well done. Two attachments 

 make it possible to place water and fer- 

 tilizer at the roots of each seedling. 

 Another attachment marks the line on 

 which the next row of trees is to be 

 planted.
