One of the plants that made many new 

 friends this spring "was Weigela Eva 

 Bathke. 



Peactically all nurserymen recognize 

 the increasing importance of the depart- 

 ment devoted to ornamentals; the call 

 for shrubs seems insatiable. 



This is proving an excellent growing 

 season for nearly all classes of nursery 

 stock; the weather conditions have been 

 such that the lateness of the spring has 

 been fully counterbalanced by the*' rapid- 

 ity of the summer's growth. 



UHTD LIENS COVEK STOCK. 



When a mortgage is given upon land 

 used for nursery purposes, any question 

 raised as to whether the lien covers 

 growing nursery stock is a matter to 

 be settled by the intention of the 

 parties to the mortgage, if expressed, 

 according to a late decision of the 

 Texas Court of Civil Appeals (184 

 Southwestern Eeporter 537). In the 

 absence of an expression of understand- 

 ing on the point, the court holds that it 

 must be presumed that the parties in- 

 tended that the stock be sub3ect to the 

 mortgage covering the real estate. In 

 the opinion the following rule of law, 

 as decided by other courts, is approved 

 by the Texas tribunal. 



Trees and shrubs planted in a nur- 

 sery for the temporary purpose of cul- 

 tivation and growth until they are fit 

 for market, and then to be taken up 

 and sold, are subject to a mortgage on 

 the land, so that neither the mortgagor 

 nor his assigns or creditors can remove 

 them as personal property. One claim- 

 ing that trees and shrubs, whether 

 growing naturally or planted and cul- 

 tivated for any purpose, are not part 

 of the realty must show special circum- 

 stances which take the particular case 

 out of the general rule; he must show 

 that the parties intended that they 

 should be regarded as personal chattels.

WHOLESALE OROWERS AND IMPORTERS 



Mentloa The R«Ti«w when yen write. 



The mere fact that the trees and shrubs 

 were the stock in trade of the mort- 

 gagor in his business as a nurseryman 

 is insufficient for this purpose. They 

 are prima facie part of the land, unless 

 specially excepted, and, in the same 

 way, unless specially excepted, pass to 

 a mortgagee. Although planted by the 

 mortgagor after the execution of the 

 mortgage, they become a part of the 

 realty and part of the mortgage 

 security. 



Concluding, the Texas court says: 

 "If the evidence justifies the con- 

 clusion that at the time the mortgage 

 was executed it was contemplated by 

 the parties that the mortgagor should 

 have the right each year to sell the nurs- 

 ery stock, without accounting to the 

 mortgagee for the proceeds of such 

 sales, and that this right has been exer- 

 cised by the mortgagor continuously 

 since the execution of the mortgage, we 

 think it should be held that it was the 



intention of the parties that the nurs- 

 ery stock placed or grown on the land 

 was to be regarded as personal prop- 

 erty, and not subject to the mortgage."

CUTTINQS IN "SWEAT-BOX." 



Will you kindly tell us if it would 

 be advisable to keep greenwood cut- 

 tings in a propagating bench called a 

 "sweatbox"! By this we mean a 

 frame with sashes closed day and night. 

 What is the best way to stop fungus 

 in the greenhouse f D. H. N. C. — 111. 



The cuttings of various deciduous 

 shrubs made at thii^ season from half- 

 ripened wood can be rooted success- 

 fully in either greenhouses or frames. 

 Of course, they require careful shading 

 and frequent light sprayings in hot 

 weather. I would not, however, advise 

 you to keep the ventilators or sashes
