After a legal battle lasting three days 

 in the district court, F. H. Stannard & 

 Co., the Ottawa, Kan., nurserymen, were 

 awarded damages of $245 against Crosby 

 Bros., of Topeka, for an alleged breach 

 of contract in a sale of 7,000 peony 

 roots in 1914. 



NEW ASSOCIATION FOR SOUTH. 



If a plan suggested at last month's 

 Waco meeting of the Texas Nursery- 

 men's Association is adopted, a body to 

 be known as the Southwestern Nursery- 

 men 's Association will be organized. 

 The movement contemplates including 

 the states of Texas, Arkansas, Okla- 

 homa^ New Mexico and Louisiana in the 

 proposed association. A committee was 

 named for T^lxas to meet with commit- 

 tees from the other states to draft a 

 constitution and by-laws and to decide 

 the date and place for bringing the new 

 organization into existence. This com- 

 mittee is composed of J. R. Mayhew, 

 of Waxahachie; W. B. Munson, of Den- 

 ison, and W. C. Griffing, of Port Arthur. 



The balloting for new officers at the 

 closing session resulted in the choice of 

 the following: President, W. C. Grif- 

 fing; vice-president, J. M. Ramsey, Aus- 

 tin; secretary-treasurer, John S. Kerr, 

 Sherman, reelected. 



The question of raising a publicity 

 fund was discussed at length, some ad- 

 vocating the appropriation of $10,000 

 for this purpose. It was decided to use 

 the code of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen for the standardization of 

 plant names.

Leon Renault's world-famed nurseries at Orleans, France, 

 have originated a new herbaceous Peony which is named 



THE LORD KITCHENER 



Beautiful flowers of brilliant cherry-red produced in great 

 abundance on strong, free-blooming plants. One of our 

 customers who received a few roots last spring says he 

 ^.^ot some flowers during the summer and that the color 

 was up to his expectations. He expressed his confidence 

 in The Lord Kitchener by sending us a larger order. 



Prices, $1.25 each; $11.00 per dozen; $70.00 per 100 



We are the sole American agents for Leon Renault's nur- 

 sery, and your orders should be sent to our New York branch.

EVEBBEASING STRAWBEBBIES. 



In the spring of 1916 I set out a few 

 hundred plants of Superb and Progres- 

 sive everbearing strawberries, which 

 have done well for the two years. Would 

 these plants do well for another year or 

 should they be dug out and replaced by 

 new ones! What is the right way to 

 plant and treat these varieties for best 

 results? C. W. P.— Can. 



I think you will find Superb to be a 

 superior variety of strawberry to Pro- 

 gressive; at least, I have found it to be 

 so. I always pick off the first crop of 

 flowers from Superb. This causes the 

 plants to throw up a new crop of flower 

 stalks and to fruit freely when the ordi- 

 nary strawberries have passed. The new 

 runners will fruit the same season, as 

 well as the old crowns, and fruiting will 

 continue until frost destroys the flowers. 

 In mild seasons I have picked fruit as 

 late as Thanksgiving, but I always get 

 a good crop in August and September.

The everbearing strawberries are not 

 quite so robust in habit as Marshall, 

 Sample, Dunlap, Gandy and the larger- 

 fruited sorts and for that reason can 

 be planted more closely. You can plant 

 in the spring or late summer. I prefer 

 to plant as soon as runners can be had 

 early in August and to keep the plants 

 in single hills the first season, removing 

 all runners made. I set the plants twelve 

 inches apart in the rows, with eighteen 

 inches between the rows, leaving a 30- 

 inch path between each two rows. All 

 runners are removed the first season and 

 the plants are kept constantly cultivat- 

 ed as long as they grow. A winter mulch 

 is given after the ground freezes, usu- 

 ally early in December. This is not re- 

 moved until early in May. If it is re- 

 moved earlier, the plants start to grow 

 too quickly and late frosts are liable to 

 kill the flowers. Of course this will not 

 matter if you prefer to pick off your 

 first flowers. The second season the 

 plants can be allowed to make runners
