Any nurseryman who wants a room at 

 the Sherman House during the Chicago 

 convention will do well to wire for it when 

 he sees this note. 



Fruit was not so badly hurt by the 

 frost June 1, as was first believed. 

 B. L. Collins, of Colorado Springs, Colo., 

 who inspected various parts of the region, 

 says that not more than twenty or thirty 

 per cent has been killed. 



Account of a bill proposed in the 

 House of Representatives, which will 

 make it legal for growers to fix the prices 

 of stock of special brands, is found in 

 the Seed Trade Department this week 

 under the title, ' ' Can Fix Packet Prices. ' ' 



. Next week at Chicago there probably 

 will be the largest gathering of nursery- 

 men in the history of the trade, the only 

 ^ condition likely to cut down attendance 

 at the A. A. N. convention being that so 

 many middle-western nurserymen are be- 

 hind with their work. 



Eugene Weadge, of Coldwater, Mich., 

 a well known grower of peonies, has 

 purchased the island at the end of Cold- 

 water lake and will develop it for a 

 peony farm, with the thought of pos- 

 sibly becoming the largest grower of 

 the flower in the world. The island con- 

 tains 110 acres. 



MANDA LOSES RAILROAD SUIT. 



W. A. Manda, Inc., of South Orange, 

 N. J., lost the suit against the Lacka- 

 wanna railroad for damages resulting 

 from fire which the firm declared was 

 started by a spark from a locomotive. 

 In May, 1917, a large quantity of shrub- 

 bery, evergreens and other stock was 

 destroyed by fire. Suit was brought by 

 W. A. Manda, Inc., for damages of 

 $5,000. The railroad succeeded in 

 maintaining its defense that the fire 

 must have been caused by something 

 other than a spark from a locomotive, 

 and the court refused to allow the claim 

 for damages. 



THE COMING CONVENTION. 



As time flits by things look more and 

 more optimistic for the forty-fourth an- 

 nual convention of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen, which will be 

 held at the .Hotel Sherman, Chicago, 

 June 25 to 27. The directors are anxious 

 that this convention be a record-brcakor 

 both as to attendance and spirit. Al- 

 vin E. Nelson, chairman of the exhibit
