A. G. RuGGLES, state entomologist of 

 Minnesota, in his report to Governor 

 Burnciuist, records the destruction during 

 the year 1918 of 650,000 Berberis vul- 

 garis, in the effort to eradicate the shrub 

 that harbors wheat rust. Of tliis num- 

 ber, 50,000 were plantings in cities and 

 towns and at country homes, and the rest 

 were in the nurseries of the state. 



The Douglas Nurseries, Waukcgan, 

 111., have been sold to Lee McDonough, 

 of tliat city, who will continue the busi- 

 ness. Since the death, years ago, of Rob- 

 ert Douglas, who established the nurs- 

 eries, his sons, Charles and Thomas, con- 

 ducted the business, with the assistance 

 of their mother, who will now remove to 

 California, where she has relatives. The 

 first location of these nurseries was be- 

 tween North avenue and Sheridan road, 

 south of Glen Flora avenue. Twenty 

 years ago the stock was lifted and re- 

 moved to the tract now occupied on Grand 

 avenue. When Thomas Douglas died, 

 his widow took his place in the work 

 and displayed considerable technical un- 

 derstanding of this line. 



ILLINOIS NURSERYMEN TO MEET. 



The Illinois Nurserymen 's Associa- 

 tion will hold its second annual conven- 

 tion in Chicago, at the Hotel La Salle, 

 February 5 and 6. A splendid pro- 

 gram has been prepared and this prom- 

 ises to be even better than the first 

 convention, last year, of this organiza- 

 tion, which all the nurserymen attend- 

 ing, it will be remembered, said was an 

 exceptionally valuable and profitable 

 convention.

WESTERN MEN IN MEETING. 



There was one of the largest gather- 

 ings of the trade in the history of the 

 organization when the Western Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen opened its 

 twenty-ninth annual meeting at the 

 usual place, the Coates House, Kansas 

 City, January 22. There is a distinctly 

 better feeling in the trade as the result 

 of increasing demand, better prices, an 

 easing labor situation, etc., and it is re- 

 flected in the larger attendance. The 

 general situation seems to be that the 

 members and others present have orna- 

 mentals to sell, but are short on fruit

The joint convention of the WesterB 

 New York Horticultural Society and the 

 New York State Fruit Growers' Assoeia- 

 tiou which was held at Rochester, Jan- 

 uary 15 to 17, culminated in the forma- 

 tion of the New York State Horticul- 

 tural Society. The election of officers 

 took place during the last session, at 

 which U. P. Hedrick, of Geneva, N. Y., 

 was made president. After the secre- 

 tary 's report was given, on the first day, 

 John Hall concluded by saying that he 

 was not up for reelection. He has held 

 that office for the last thirty years. W.
