The nursery trade will find if expedi- 

 ent to work together for a rise in prices 

 if the business is to continue to be profit- 

 able. Leading j growers of apple trees 

 some time since came to this conclusion. 



The peony specialists, especially in 

 New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are mak- 

 ing greater efforts than ever before to 

 interest the public. Evidently it has paid 

 to advertise and circulate retail li^s of 

 elaborate character. 



Norman Peterson, son of William A. 

 Peterson, has ent«red the University of 

 Illinois for the training in landscape 

 architecture, with the intention of join- 

 ing the staff of Peterson Nursery when 

 he has completed the collegiate course. 



At a recent meeting of nurserymen 

 from various citrus sections of Alabama 

 a temporary organization was perfected, 

 to be known as the South Alabama Nur- 

 serymen's Association. W. E. Ensoy, of 

 Mobile, was named president of the body 

 and E. Lloyd Scott, of Theodore, secre- 

 tary. The purpose of the organization is 

 to cooperate with similar societies in the 

 fight against citrus canker. 



APPLE FORECAST. 



The September 1 forecast of total ap- 

 ple production this year in the United 

 States, as reported by the Bureau of 

 Crop Estimates, United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, is 67,679,000 bar- 

 rels of three bushels each, as compared 

 with 76,670,000 estimated produced last 

 year, of which not quite sixty-five per 

 cent were sold. In the last ten years 

 estimated production has exceeded the 

 present forecast five times. Taking the 

 country as a whole, it thus appears that 

 the apple crop will be nearly an aver- 

 age, but t\frelve per cent smaller than 

 last year's large crop. The crop is 

 larger than last year in the Atlantic 

 coast states, including New York and 

 Pennsylvania, and in the Pacific 

 coast states, but smaller in practically

 which has about thirty-four per cent 

 more than last year. For the first time 

 this year an attempt has been made to 

 forecast the crop by important va- 

 rieties. 



Baldwin appears to be the leading 

 crop this year, with a forecast of 9,302,- 

 000 barrels, an increase of twelve per 

 cent over last year's production. Ben 

 Davis, which was the leading variety 

 as to quantity last year, falls to second 

 this year, with a forecast production of 

 9,245,000 barrels, which is seventeen per 

 cent less than the production estimated 

 last year. 



PLANTING NUBSERY STOCK. 



Advantages of Fall Planting. 



It is difficult to convince many florists 

 that fall and not spring is the time par 

 excellence for the planting of a large 

 proportion of our trees and shrubs. The

ground is now warm and in an ideal 

 condition for the transplanting of many 

 evergreens. There is more time to do 

 this work properly, much better stock 

 can be had from the. nurseries than in 

 the spring and it is sure to be fresh 

 from the fields. Furthermore, nursery- 

 men have more time to fill fall orders, 

 being less ruslied with business. 



A great proportion of our coniferous 

 evergreens can be safely moved now. 

 Cool, cloudy and damp days are ideal 

 for planting operations, but are not al- 

 ways to^be had either in the spring or 

 early fall. If care is taken to keep the
