A DISASTROUS fire destroyed the pack- 

 ing shed of Thomas Meehan & Sons, 

 Dresher, Pa., October 27. 



A NEW nursery soon will be opened at 

 Oroville, Butte county, Cal., by De Witt 

 Salesbury and W. G. Summers. Both 

 l)artners are experienced as growers and 

 the firm will specialize in deciduous fruit 

 trees. They will start in business with 

 a stock of 75,000 seedlings. 



The Secretary of State for New York 

 has licensed the Gould Growers' Corpora- 

 tion, of Merrifield, Cayuga county, capital- 

 ized at $35,000. Incorporators are named 

 as follows: W. M. Gould, E. L. Gould, of 

 Newark; J. A. Gould, of Merrifield, who 

 will engage in general farming and the 

 nursery business. 



Nurserymen will appreciate tlie assist- 

 ance given the fruit tree business by the 

 government, which recently has issued 

 Farmers' Bulletin No. 900, entitled 

 ' ' Homemade Fruit Butters. " C. P. Close 

 is its author. The pamphlet is an effort 

 to show the housewife how to substitute 

 marmalade for butter, as a wartime expe- 

 dient. 



PETERSON PLANS FOR SUNDAY. 



William A. Peterson, nurseryman, is 

 chairman of the finance committee 

 which is preparing for the monster re- 

 vival to be opened in Chicago March 10, 

 1918, by Billy Sunday, the famous evan- 

 gelist. Mr. Peterson's committee plans 

 on the basis of an advance subscription 

 of $70,000, which is less than half the 

 total expense. "Of the $150,000 ex- 

 pense account," said Mr. Peterson, 

 "$20,000 will be for conservation work, 

 $68,000 will cover the cost of building 

 the tabernacle, rental of site, care of 

 grounds and insurance, $62,000 will be 

 devoted to the preparatory work, the 

 running expense of the tabernacle, the 

 living expenses of Mr. Sunday and his 

 twenty assistants, and the salaries of 

 the twenty assistants, Mr. Sunday him- 

 self receiving no salary." Samuel E. 

 Knecht, of the State Bank of Chicago, 

 of which Mr. Peterson is a director, is 

 treasurer. 



HARRISBURG PARK PLANS. 



Plans submitted by Warren H. Man- 

 ning, the Boston landscape architect, 

 and George A. Shriner, superintendent 

 of public grounds and buildings, at 

 Harrisburg, Pa., were approved by Gov- 

 ernor Brumbaugh October 19. The plans 

 provide for the placing of trees to be 

 dedicated to each of the cities of Penn- 

 sylvania in the Capitol park and also 

 in the extension, there being forty-six 

 trees to be located in these grounds. 

 There are over 300 trees in the parks 

 at present, but some of them are in sucli 

 bad condition that they will have to 

 be removed, while others arc planted 

 too close together, necessitating a differ- 

 ent arrangement. The great event of 

 Arbor day next year will be the plant- 

 ing of a girdle of trees about the park, 

 one to be dedicated to each governor 

 of the state. All of these trees, as 

 well as the shrubbery to be planted in 

 the park, will be of Pennsylvania
