NURSERY NEWS.

President, John Watson, Newark, N. Y. ; Vice-

 tary and General Manager, Curtis Nye Smith,

There is a steadily increasing demand 

 for Schwedler maple. 



The spring season has given the peony 

 growers a nice bunch of fall retail orders 

 from those who visited the fields while 

 the bloom was on. 



The boards of general appraisers are 

 advancing the values declared for many 

 of the importations of Boskoop stock 

 shipped during February and March. 



D. W. Hunter, of Chattanooga, Tenn., 

 has filed a petition in bankruptcy in be- 

 half of the Chattanooga Nursery Co. Lia- 

 bilities are given as $34,000 and assets 

 $21,000. 



A. E. Gross, to whose abilities W. N. 

 Eudd credits much of the beauty of 

 Mount Greenwood cemetery, Morgan Park, 

 111., is about to open an office at Detroit 

 to practice his profession as landscape 

 gardener. 



It is almost too much to expect that a 

 man will send his surplus to the bonfire 

 when he sees his competitor turning a 

 similar stock into a new touring car by 

 means of connection with some depart- 

 ment store. 



The Elkon Nursery Co., of Huntsville, 

 Ala., has completed the installation of 

 new waterworks, comprising a drilled 

 well, pump, gasoline engine, water tanks, 

 etc. The company specializes in shrubs 

 and rooted cuttings of shrubs and roses, 

 all "made in America." 



It is said that there are a number of 

 new peonies soon to come out that are 

 expected to make a name for America, 

 but the man who does the work will be 

 entitled to all the fruits of his success. 

 When one considers that paeonia seeds 

 generally require two years to germinate, 

 with three more for the first characteris- 

 tic bloom, it is apt to discourage all save 

 those who labor for love. 



UNCLAIMED IMPORTED STOCK. 



Customs officials have just been noti- 

 fied by Assistant Secretary of the 

 Treasury Andrew J. Peters that un- 

 claimed nursery stock may be sold with- 

 out the certificate of an officer of the 

 Agricultural Department that is pro- 

 vided for in Treasury Decision No. 

 34151, of February 6, 1914, and that 

 decision is amended accordingly, when 

 it is found by the collector that a per- 

 mit has been issued by the Agricultural 

 Department for the nursery stock, that 

 foreign certificates of inspection are 

 attached to the containers, and that the 

 latter are plainly marked to show the 

 general nature and quantity of the con- 

 tents, the name and address of the ex- 

 porter, the name and address of the con- 

 signee, and the country and locality 

 where the stock was grown. Unclaimed 

 nursery stock not coming under the 

 above provisions is to be destroyed un- 

 der customs supervision by burning.

interesting query from a Minnesota 

 farmer: 



"Can a man who sells 2-foot ever- 

 greens and delivers trees only six to 

 fifteen inches high be arrested for 

 giving short measure, and to whom 

 should I complain!" 



The question raises an important 

 point as to the legal liability of a 

 nurseryman who delivers younger stock 

 than he contracted to sell. I know of 



no law which makes such default a 

 criminal offense. My correspondent has 

 evidently jumped at a conclusion that, 

 it being generally an offense to sell 

 agricultural products by false measure, 

 a nurseryman ought to be subject to 

 prosecution in such a case as he men- 

 tions. But a moment's reflection will 

 show that there is a fundamental dif- 

 ference as to means of deception, and 

 it is doubtless this difference which
