sections and smaller plantings of fruit 

 trees than under normal conditions still 

 further reduced development of this 

 line. As nursery stock requires for its 

 development a cycle varying from one 

 to several years to bring it to market- 

 able condition, the shortage of these 

 lines will be felt for years to come, espe- 

 cially as no reinforcements may be 

 looked for from abroad after the em- 

 bargo goes into effect. 



Catalogues of nursery stock show 

 slight advances in price for the ap- 

 proaching spring season in practically 

 all lines. It is probable that the short- 

 age of nursery stock and the increased 

 demand due to resumption of activities 

 in the planting of orchard and land- 

 scape stock will result in further in- 

 creases in the years to follow, until 

 American growers adjust themselves to 

 the new conditions. 



THE DOOM OF THE BABBEBBY. 



Berberis vulgaris has been tried, con- 

 victed and sentenced to death for the 

 crime of harboring wheat rust. The 

 Secretary of Agriculture, the judge who 

 pronounced sentence upon the offending 

 shrub, has delegated its execution to the 

 Federal Horticultural Board, which in 

 ttirn has called to its assistance the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry. The Bureau 

 of Plant Industry in its turn is calling 

 into cooperation the several state boards 

 to assist in the work of extermination. 

 So complicated is the machinery required 

 to deal adequately with this baneful but 

 beautiful shrub, which has enjoyed here- 

 tofore such wide popularity that its 

 numbers compel concerted action to pre- 

 vent the ravages of the blight from re- 

 ducing seriously the wheat crops, now 

 when the world looks to the United 

 States for its food supplies. 



Exhibits and demonstrations conduct- 

 ed under the auspices of the Bureau of 

 Plant Industry in some instances have 

 included displays of harmless varieties 

 of barberry, that in the work of exter- 

 mination the innocent might not suffer 

 with the guilty. The Japanese variety 

 is the one most commonly known to the 

 layman, perhaps, of these latter, which 

 may still be used with impunity to 

 beautify lawns, hedges, parks and gar- 

 dens. 



TBEES TO MABK HIGHWAYS. 



F. E. McCall, extension specialist in 

 horticulture for the state of South Da- 

 kota, endorses the plan suggested by 

 the American Forestry Association of 

 planting long lines of trees to mark na- 

 tional highways. Mr. McCall says that 

 the method now in use of marking na- 

 tional highways with bands of various 

 colors wound around telephone poles has 

 not proved satisfactory, because the 

 markings have no landscape value and 

 are inadequate from the standpoint of 

 utility. These signs have not always 

 been placed properly and therefore may 

 be misleading. 



DEMAND WTLL EXCEED SUPPLY. 



Many varieties of fruit trees and 

 plants are scarce, according to a rep- 

 resentative of C. M. Hobbs & Sons, 

 Bridgeport, Ind., who added, however, 

 that this concern would have enough 

 to go around. "We have less stock 

 to sell for spring, ' ' it was stated, ' ' than 

 we have had for many years. There is 

 also less stock in our neighborhood. If 

 there is a normal demand for stock in
